I know that post wasn't totally serious but I halfway agree in that I don't really care for street circuits and would rather actual permanent road courses, tbh

Not to NASCAR-up the Indy thread, but didn't Jr. pick up his last spotter from iRacing or am I making that up?

He is. I thought he was a bit of a whiner as well. I'll usually go to bat for him though as he was the last good American F1 driver, and had a promising start to his early CART career.


Remember when he inexplicably added "Jr." to his name?

Adding a Jr to your name is like adding a go-faster stripe to your daily driver

Having grown up in the mid-90s where I feel like Indycar was hugely popular in Canada (though that's just from my memories/impressions) that's a loving bummer

I had a miserable loving time when I went to Indy but I'm pretty sure it was one of the trash races being discussed above and I was like, 12.

It's always bugged me that you can't see the entire track from anywhere, but every time I watch on tv I think about how I'd still like to go back.

Googling, I was also at the 98 race. Front stretch, pit side. Could see the straight, exit of 4 and entrance of 1. I was more into racing then than I basically ever was before or since and almost fell asleep.

I'd love to spam this thread with Castrol liveries but I can't get poo poo to upload to imgur so oh well. Still want Valvoline on Herta's car real bad.

I also liked those Brahma liveries that ran in CART in the late 90s, as bad as they kind of were.

Zak Brown is good as hell and has done a great job turning around the F1 team. The people he's fired there were gigantic, clueless morons, and it's not even clear if Fernley was fired or simply resigned.

Honest question - is Zak the one hiring those gigantic, clueless morons?
