I mean they could race on the full layout but I guess they think cutting the S curves is better for passing (but not really)

I get not going all the way to the last S corner and NASCAR hairpin due to the lack of runoff, but it'd be so much better if they just bypassed the chicane before the shorter one.

I played CART Fury a poo poo ton at the giant arcade in Circle Centre Mall when I was a teenager. Wonder if it's still there.

WindyMan posted:But… Well they need to get approval not only from Detroit but also the state of Michigan DNR which took over the park operations recently. The race is definitely not about the profit, most of the people I see there are on tickets provided by their employer etc. This year I had a work meeting there for example. They'll re-up but there is going to be a more restricted set-up time. Whenever Penske bites the big one and pushes off the mortal coil the race isn't going to be in good shape though.

Yeah, Roger essentially uses Detroit as his private B2B schmoozing session for his insane empire of automotive businesses Its crazy to think that next year, Roger will have nine "championship caliber" teams in Cup, IndyCar, and IMSA (sure we havent seen it, but an Oreca with an HPD engine driven by Montoya sounds like a championship team)... when he dies, all of American racing is in trouble.

There's three major king pins that can either save or kill off indycar in the post-split era. Penske, Ganassi, and Andretti. Those three names IMO? Made the IRL legitimate in 03, and helped likely save the "500" from 2000 or so. Back in the day names like Foyt, Newman-Haas, Patrick, Gurney, Jones were likely in that conversation, but the series always needs big "George Steinbrenner" figures for it to survive. A stable Penske organization that can survive for a long rear end time ala McLaren would really help the sport stay afloat.

Penske the organization is going to be around a long time after Penske the man leaves us. Roger's too smart of a man, and a business man, to set up his legacy's failure after he goes. The question is how much of an impact the series will have once he goes. Will Penske continue to be a 4-car operation? Will Penske's business connections waver once the man himself isn't around to steer the ship? Will it matter by that time, with new teams in the series and hopefully a third engine manufacturer? Can we not talk about this for another 10 years? I'm going to go with that option.

Our company sells to some race teams, including Andretti, so we now have a little note on our bulletin board since they just won the 500. It was written by our new marketing person, who writes "Andretti Racing, who just won the Indie 500!"

Well the full rear-wheel guards are going away, but yeah the whole point is to prevent wheel-to-wheel contact between front and rear wheels causing cars to go airborne

Yeah, and the way they are designed in the renderings also dramatically decrease drag from the rear wheels while dramatically upping the low turbulence downforce created by the tray by redirecting the air over the top of the tray exit, which sucks air out from under the car. Basically, its gonna make the cars faster, safer, and run closer. But I do agree about the look of em, its my least fav part of the new car.
