God, I'd like to see him make a full recovery, even if he never races again. Crossposting from NASCAR, but hey,  NEW WINTER HEAT THREAD !https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3874931 If you don't know what ^that^ is, we've had a CyTube channel for 5-6 years now where we watch old racin' which is primarily active in the offseason but can be used year-round. If you have something you want to have a goonwatch of, bump that thread (and probably this one, too) with some lead time and other people will wander in. I had considered doing a weekly re-watch of CART but hadn't actually followed through...yet. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 21, 2018 |

This article popped up on my google news feed; pretty cool stuff about how they're doing computer simulation work with multiple cars and even translating that into the feedback in the full-blown simulator at the Dallara facility in speedway. https://www.nextplatform.com/2018/11/20/hpc-just-changed-indycar-races-for-the-long-haul/

Alonso will run a Chevy at the 500, with Andretti technical support. He’s also running in the WTR #10 for the Daytona 24, and putting 2 and 2 together, I think we know where McLarens 500 crew is going to come from. WTR has a bunch of good dudes with Indycar heritage too: https://racer.com/2018/11/26/alonso-set-to-make-rolex-24-return/ Jimmy Johnson wants to run some IndyCar road courses: https://bit.ly/2PSdtN4 Richard Phillipe, Nelson’s brother and a FBMW champ and Lights driver himself, died in a helicopter crash: https://www.indycar.com/News/2018/11/11-26-Richard-Philippe-killed-in-helicopter-crash

Yup just came to post that from the press release. The best part is that there is a Speedway station in the town of Speedway directly across the street from the IMS main gate, I just hope that the deal requires IndyCar activation inside Speedway stations I doubt it does  Also I wonder if any Brits know the outcome  https://twitter.com/12WillPower/status/1067446424206487552 KingShibby fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Nov 27, 2018 |

In fairness, Speedways are everywhere in the midwest. At least it'll sound nicer than "Sunoco race fuel."

Was Sam Hornish Jr. actually good or does his record just look better due to competing in the trash era?

We all hate Marco, who in retrospect would have been the weakest Indy 500 winner since like Buddy Rice or Buddy Lazier.
