Is this indicative of Andretti reliability? Will My Alonso be at a higher than average risk of suffering mechanical failure when he wins the Indy 500 at the first attempt?

DoctorGonzo posted:its like DRS or it gives more power to the car? From what I understand it's DRS but you can use it whenever you want for a maximum of 200 seconds per race and instead of it being a rear wing flap it's just added boost.

So does IndyCar have a podium like a real racing series or is it like NASCAR where some dumb hick raises up a Subway footlong and praises the Under 6 grams of fat power of the cold cut combo on honey oat with spinach, tomatoes, onions, black olives and cucumbers with light mayo for powering his way to the win along with the quenching rehydrating power of Gatorade?

Well, that was actually relatively fun to watch. I can't remember the last time I watched an IndyCar race from start to finish and I do watch more than just F1 but never gave IndyCar a second glance. As long as you look past the American Exceptionalism which tries to shroud that this is a bunch of terrible and washed-up drivers in heavy ugly cars and seemingly implies this is some sort of top-tier series then, yeah, it's a lot of fun. I think I'll be watching the next race as well which hopefully will be more indicative of the coverage vs. an extended interview of Actually Good Racing Driver in the booth. NBC's graphics are atrocious. Is there an alternative? Also, I've only been just exposed to this man but gently caress Townsend Bell forever. What an atrocious person and I hate listening to him. Thanks for having me, IndyCar thread.

 It was actually fun to watch this Indy race and Barber looks like a really fun track. And, yeah, Lance Stroll is terrible along with a bunch of other drivers in F1. Not sure where I said Lance Stroll in particular was some sort of good driver but sorry if you guys misunderstood. If you guys enjoy other forms of motorsport I heartily recommend the new generation of rally cars in WRC, along with WEC, GP2, MotoGP, Moto2 & 3 and Super GT. Also, V8 Supercars in Australia is a great series, too.

Norns posted:I have a strong feeling Nando might say gently caress the cash and end up in indy if he enjoys the cars. Yeah, no. Relax. He might do the 500 a couple more times if he enjoys it enough but he's gonna be off to WEC after this and the 24 hours. If anything he needs to end up in Super GT. Also, lol once again how global superstars are completely anonymous in the US every single time.
