This has always been a bit of a hodgepodge, as NBC has too few people in too many places. Diffey is excellent and calls the majority of races except those which clash with F1 telecasts, for which he's also responsible, at which point Till or Varsha pinch hit.

NBC hasnt done F1 since 2017

Wonder what "significant" thing they could announce at this point? I thought they already signed a multi year extension last year.

maybe Road to Indy is switching from Cooper?

I'm genuinely curious why they continue to use the Firestone name and not Bridgestone. I'm in my 30s so when I hear "Firestone" I immediately picture a Ford Explorer flipping on the interestate.

Do you? I'd think someone who knows who Damon Hill is would be able to distinguish between "only here to see Alonso win" and "only here to see if Alonso can do a thing only my father has done."

His point was pretty clearly that Damon Hill, either as the son of the only Triple Crown winner or just plain race fan, somehow couldn't be arsed to go to a 500 in all of his life until now.

So the forecast is pretty bleak, if they cant run later on sunday and it rains monday, whats plan D?

Basticle

https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/history/rain-delays

Hmmm the precedents for sunday and monday raining out is in 1986 they ran the following Saturday and in 1997 they ran on tuesday.

And then whatever the gently caress this was in 1973

quote:

The 1973 race was started on Monday, May 28, but the first-lap accident involving Salt Walther forced the red flag, and the race was rained out before it could be restarted. It was postponed again on Tuesday, May 29, after rain began falling during the second parade lap. The race finally got under way on Wednesday, May 30, but rain again caused the race to be stopped and ruled complete after finishing 332.5 miles.
