Dudley posted:I suspect Indycar themselves would prefer not because it gives the impression of Indycar as a feeder series rather than a destination. Indycar doing something about their lovely prize money structure may help with that, since aside from the 500, Super Formula usually offers more prize money for winning drivers.

FuzzySkinner posted:Speaking of F1..I look at Stroll and shake my head. For as much as I was critical of Rossi at one point? Dude could run well in a backmarker, and I think he'd have done well with a team like Williams. Ah well, Rossi gets to be immortalized on the Borg Warner and pulled off the biggest upset in IndyCar history sans Dan in 2011. All this goes out the window when daddy waves $80 million at you to give his kid a ride.

Cygni posted:Missed the race but watched the 30min 'rewind' today and yeesh. Silver lining is that the cars will have a completely different aero config next year, if Phoenix is even still on the schedule. Isn't Phoenix already confirmed for next year? quote:(Also bonus? Jeff Gordon is featured in a segment about faith in racing. I say this is noteworthy because it's rumored that he's an atheist now). Jeff spouted all sorts of Jesus-y stuff when he was married to Brooke. Rumor has it that there's even a video of them giving advice on how to have a good Christian marriage or something.

I didn't think the racing was that much better back when PT and Emmo both lapped the entire field before trashing their cars in succession in '93.

It also may have a little to do with the fact that aside from the 500, winner's purses are loving abysmal. poo poo, winners in Super Formula get more prize money.
