the best part of IndyCar Racing 2 was converting NASCAR Racing 2 tracks and then racing at Pocono.

Honestly, I see a huge downturn of motorsports within the next 10 years, so it would just be going with the trend.

this is why im not really worried. the american motorsports landscape is gonna have a hell of a reset when the bottom falls out of NASCAR

Allowing teams to just show up in May and race in the 500 is a joke and cheapens the 500. There should be a requirement that any one-off entry for the 500 is also required to race in the other Triple Crown races (Pocono/Fontana).

the triple crown is stupid an no one except people living still in 1975 give a gently caress about it

the irony of the 265E/500i being that there is a pretty good chance the PC23 with a regular Ilmor/D engine could have been even better

Maybe, maybe not. Yeah the PC23 was a juggernaut but without the 500i the PC24 couldn't even come close to qualifying for the field in 95. Emerson was just able to have the speed with a Lola from Rahal while the Penske's and hell I think a Reynard wasn't good enough. They did say the car didn't handle great in the turns but had all that muscle to beat out everyone through the straightaways.

The highest trap speeds ever recorded were from the PC23, even easily outpacing Arie's 1996 run. That the PC23's best lap is still 9mph slower than the 1996 record should tell you how lovely the handling was. Between the higher CoG and torque it had some massive understeer issues that they never got hammered out and plagued their Indy package into 1995.

My pop's team had just tested Indy in April to set a baseline for Honda/Tasman. They had 'The Package'... Honda/Reynard/Firestone. But Honda didn't want to try to put another car in the 500 because of the number of entries, and generally wanting to focus all on Tasman after the '94 disaster. In testing, they set times that would have been on the front row, and my dad lobbied for days to get Honda to let them enter. Honda wouldn't do it... and then Scott Goodyear had that whole pacecar incident and Honda lost their first win.

My dad is still mad about it.

The Honda @ Indy story from 94 and 95 is so loving wierd

Okay really 1994-1995 Indy is just a really bizarre time there are so many storylines
