Penske dropped the Marlboro sponsorship wholly. It's not the wink wink nudge nudge of Ferrari.

Curious as to 500 qually will be handled, as that also shares its weekend with the Preakness Stakes, which NBC covers.

There's pros and cons to the road course, but one of the biggest pros is for the ladder. It's a way for them to race in Indy at IMS, and even if it's not the main course, it's still a way to say they raced there.

I want to know how many years this is. Also, this came by last night: https://twitter.com/A_S12/status/1084859476031823872?s=19 Bommarito has done a fantastic job with Gateway, and I'm glad they're sticking around still.

Yeah, Pato, at Sonoma, was loving on FIRE. Never drove the car in any serious capacity before that race and would have done well had he not hosed his tires over.

Cygni posted:race was Good. wish they would blown up the field by throwing those two yellows, though. Eh, I'm fine with it. It was a bit of jostling for the lead and position and a bit of strategy. I'm actually glad they didn't, even if it lead to a Penske win. Or well, the SeaBass non-yellow was good. The tarp non-yellow should have probably happened, but restraint is nice, especially compared to the other major American series.

RA has free parking, but it also has a lot more space compared to most tracks, and it's also a good 70-80 minutes north of Milwaukee.

Big Huski Boi posted:Alonso wants another championship and IndyCar is by far the most prestigious series in which he has a realistic chance of doing so. He's probably going to win the WEC title this year but no one will care. I'd honestly place WEC and Indy at the same level. They both are arguably a tier lower than F1 on the international stage, and both series are overshadowed by their main race.

I don't like it, but if they must: -The only guaranteed entries are full time cars*, assuming n <= 24. You have to commit to the full season in order to be assured a spot in the 500 past bump day. If there's more than 24 full time drivers, well then they're going for the 24 spots, and 25th and further of the full times do not qualify. -The 25th spot is the lights champion. They get a spot regardless of qualifying performance. -The remaining 8 drivers are for one offs and limited schedule drivers. If there's less than 24 full time entries, they they fill as needed. *I say cars because of Special Ed. For now.

Proud Christian Mom posted:to be fair the IndyCar program would be very cheap but still VAG has been skittish since Dieselgate. that being said, I don't see what any VAG brand gets out of IndyCar. Cheapish open wheel on a relatively high profile series. It's much cheaper than F1 and that's probably the big factor

IOwnCalculus posted:As opposed to ~18 gallons of gasoline? The problem with lithium fires is they need special handling to put out compared to gas. I mean any series worth its salt would know how to in those situations, buuuuuuut. There's a couple other issues, such as a short happening in the system. If that's the case the driver will probably have to use the escape hatch up top and jump off so they don't complete a circuit with themselves.
