I figured I'd give it a shot since I watch all the races anyway. Pretty relieved that I didn't have to come up with a witty team name though.

I thought a Portland return was already almost definitely happening for 2018, was that just a fever dream or something?

Between Kimball and Stroll in F1 turning in on people on lap 1 this week, they should really put blind spot detection or something in these things. Not that it'd change anything, but it would at least eliminate the didn't-know-he-was-there excuse.

Who the gently caress are these "certain drivers", why are they so dumb, and why would Indycar listen to them

I don't think the Chevy/Penske dominating with the short oval package is going to mean much for the superspeedways, I'd expect Ganassi to be the favorite (since Andretti is clownshoes). e: also if you want good predictions, just go for whatever the opposite of my fantasy picks are

I'm watching Rossi warm up to throw the first pitch at the Cubs game. I wonder if there are 100 other people here who know who he is.

But I want to watch the whole game and not get escorted out for being creepy! Rossi threw like a 13 year old girl, that must be the connection.

Alonso's run today is reminding me of 2000 (?) when Montoya showed up to make all the IRL drivers look really bad.

Feels Villeneuve posted:It really isn't, I'm not like, trying to pick a fight but Montoya in 2000 might as well have been in a completely different car to everyone else, he was that fast. That's fair. There are at least all the other Andretti cars up with him today, whereas yeah Montoya's was an absolute curbstomping.

Their car colors are similar enough that when I saw the smoke at first glance I just assumed Honda had hosed Alonso again

KingShibby posted:Haven't heard any news, but I'm willing to be they'll be about the same or more than last year. This is RA's premier race of the season with the entire ladder + PWC over 4 days from Thu-Sun I liked all the ladder races last year (well, maybe not PM since lol 10 car field), but PWC did nothing for me. I think I couldn't keep their eighty classes straight, so I just had no idea what I was watching. I think ALMS/TUSCC spoiled me.

Yeah but IMSA already has CTSCC as its minor league. And GTLM is awesome just by itself. The IMSA weekend at RA is overall better I think (plus you can bike the track!), but I feel like I should be supporting Indycar, dammit. Next year I want to try make Phoenix and Iowa, hopefully the new short oval package isn't a dud.

Danica was on better teams too, I don't think Fisher/Legge/Mann ever really had good equipment. Although Fisher had a pole at Kentucky iirc, so I might be underestimating her team. e: Simona should've gotten more attention than she did but she wasn't American and hot I guess e2: I somehow forgot that Danica did SI swimsuit and Maxim, that probably had something to do with it too Lord Crapulus fucked around with this message at 23:31 on May 31, 2017 |
