You know, the more I follow the lower series, the more I realize that, hey, we might be losing some of our bigger drivers (JPM, Helio, SeaBass, Kanaan), but we have fresh talent on the way.

We need more seats. I think 22-23 full time rides is realistic.

Man, the repave on the back half of the track is silky smooth. Used to be really brutal.

Entry to Turn 8 is still quite bumpy, a bunch of driver's have locked them up in that corner (same corner where that photog was exposed in the runoff)

my stupid take?

Much like NASCAR, IndyCar needs about 3-4 "Super car" teams with 4 rides a piece, with 3-4 different engine manufacturers, etc. I think that model would really help.

we could have Andretti, Ganassi and Penske at 3 cars each if you have Juncos, Carlin, Harding at 1-2 cars each. We need more owners.

and yeah that photographer needs to get his vest and pass yanked right the gently caress then and there. That's unacceptable in ball sports, never mind an auto race.

Discord should be in the OP, if it's not there check the NASCAR OP. All the same one

Saavedra's drink system broke, so during the last stop they shoved a tube connected to a blue sports drink into his helmet. There was no bite valve on the tube, so it flooded his helmet, shorted out his microphone, and stained parts of his face blue.
