That aeroscreen looks quite nice. Hope it works out well in testing just to stick it to F1.

New Coyne car is awesome.

New Coyne logo is a brutal eyesore.

Blue and orange is just about my favorite color combination, but they look so much better when one color dominates and the other is used as an accent color, like the old MCI car or even the McLarens.

I'm getting NHL Guardian Project flashbacks from those, but I at least give them props for trying to market the drivers for a change.

Sure looks different from the 2003-07 Champ Car grid, yeah?

e: why don't indycars have starters onboard? seems kinda silly on a car without anti-stall

Champ Car tried this with the DP01 and it didn't work very well at all because Champ Car.

Words uttered by Hinchcliffe on several occasions no doubt as he ignores calls from his race engineers in order to re-do a commercial so they can get his "best side"

I demand Hinch have an rear end cam like MotoGP riders have :pervert:

It helps if you have personality. Alan has a good voice and arguably has the best personality of the three which is hilarious considering he's the only nondriver.

I never want Hinch to retire but when Hinch retires he'll make a killing in broadcasting.

I wish Davide Valsecchi was calling this race tbh

financially racist posted:

the amount of hate rossi is getting for this is loving insane, i mean it was a poorly executed move but wickens left the door wide open. and really, every single driver in indycar has done that same exact thing at least once, many of them a hell of a lot more than once. rhr seemed to do it like every other race back in the late 00's/early 2010's and i never saw anywhere near this amount of poo poo thrown at him for it.

it's like you fuckers have never in your life watched people racing for the win.

Off the top of my head, RHR's poo poo with Servia at Edmonton in 2011 and him punting Newgarden at Long Beach in 2014 were both worse than this.

Does John Watson still do commentary? Him and Ben Edwards were a great combo.

I enjoyed them back when A1GP was shown late at night here in the states.

I hope Penske pays similar tribute by dominating all day and then binning their cars back to back to back.

Literally my only complaint with the new car is how tiny and undefined the speedway rear wings are.

Feels Villeneuve posted:

Like the top 2 in the inagural IPS was loving AJ Quattro and Arie Jr. Not to reprise old Split debates again but the top two in the old CART-run Indy Lights the year prior were Townsend Bell and Dan Wheldon. In 2000 it was Bell/Scott Dixon (and Casey Mears )

TIL Aaron Fike finished top 5 in points in Infiniti Pro.
