I hate that Josef's move is gonna have me cheering for a Penske driver.

Alain Post posted:The UK series is now "MSA Formula" though technically they still use Ford engines It's actually now British Formula 4, got renamed after Jonathan Palmer got British Formula 3 going again and decided he wanted F4 as well for the BTCC support bill since the MSA Formula (Powered by EcoBoost) cars were F4 spec anyway.

I think in terms of open wheel chassis makers it's either Dallara or Taatus at this point, and Taatus seems perfectly happy making lower level cars (they make every Formula 4 car except British F4 at this point) while Dallara gets the faster stuff. That's why Taatus make the USF and Pro Mazda chassis and Dallara gets Indy Lights and Indycar itself.

Flikken posted:Ok, I'll rephrase my question. You pick 4 drivers for each race with a $100 salary cap. Driver value is I think determined by championship position and recent form. Then you score the same points for each driver's finishing position that they earn in the championship. And Indy you get to pick 10 drivers with a $500 cap. There's also a average speed predictor for every race that acts as a tiebreaker. There'll presumably be signup links posted here when the new fantasy season starts but it all runs from the Indycar website. Knowing nothing about Indycar last year I finished 3rd with a policy of always picking Josef Newgarden and Max Chilton. njsykora fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Feb 25, 2017 |

FuzzySkinner posted:The lone reasoning any of these people have any more is pretty much this: The DW12 is the poster child for everyone who rants constantly about how ugly Dallara's cars are, which has never made sense to me as someone who thinks the DW12 looks cool and unlike any other current open wheel car. But then I like the shark fins on the new F1 cars so maybe I don't get what people think a good looking car is.

I'm excited as I always am for opening day for another series, but Indy feels like it's gonna have a killer season if the Honda pace is actually there and it's not the entire Chevy set sandbagging.

Human Grand Prix posted:Do the Hondas also have better mileage now in addition to power? Seems like it, judging from how Seb's fuel number went from 4.0 to below 2 it seems like they don't lose as much pace as the Chevy's when fuel saving either.

Sebring is the only other major US circuit I can think of that doesn't have an Indycar date aside from the ones you mentioned. Though I don't see any way a top level open wheeler could even hope to go down Sebring's main straight. Then there's Lime Rock but Lime Rock's locals are even worse than Laguna's. Really I think Road Atlanta is the most likely if they do go looking for another road course.

Human Grand Prix posted:Dallara also wiped out everyone in the lower formula categories. Except Formula 4 where Taatus still has most of the chassis, hence Taatus doing USF-2000 and Pro Mazda since they're basically Formula 4 chassis now.

McLaren kick out all the old faithful and suddenly are letting their lead driver go run Indy and talking about a works Indycar program. Seems like a good plan, assuming they're not just saying poo poo to get some more of that sweet FIA money.

I think I remember hearing once that a full season of Indycar is about 1/10th the cost of a full F1 season so I think it might actually be cheaper than GP2.

Given Nando's entire reason for doing the 500 is that he wants the Triple Crown I don't see him going off full time to WEC until he's gotten the 500 win.
