Gee Scott Goodyear is just awful. All this guy did in '94 was run into other cars it seems.

I know someone here was commenting about sponsor displays:  Apart from the front of the sidepod wrapping under, seems like they're very obvious.

Like Pacwest hiring perpertual 12th-16th place finisher Dominic Dobson. Human Grand Prix fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Sep 27, 2017 |

The Croc posted:I wouldn't mind Fontana as the season ender anythings better than Sonoma which should have a place on the calendar but its not a great track for a finale. I love Fontana but I'd rather see somewhere like Chicagoland as the finale. Nobody goes to Fontana and most of the fan base is in the Midwest.

Actually, is it confirmed Hinch is returning to SPM?

According to Racer's article on Allen McDonald leaving SPM, he hasn't been confirmed yet. But even though McDonald is leaving, there's no mention of where he's going or Hinch going with him, so I doubt there's anything like that going on.

quote:Open to IndyCar switch https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/palmer-new-chapter-focus-williams-indycar-wec-958474/ Jolyon Palmer is pretty mediocre and not very consistent but him in the IndyCar field he'd probably be a top runner. He's definitely way better than, say, garbage truck driver Esteban Guiterrez.

Palmer takes time to adjust to cars he will be lower end of the field but maybe over time build up to be nearer the front. I would be shocked if he came in and was straight away near the front of the field its just not his mo.

Rubens gave Robin a very tentative "yes" in Baltimore that he'd be back the next season.

I think he just couldn't find the sponsorship needed to continue. IIRC he was surprised at how difficult it was to find sponsorship for IndyCar.
