Double posting because they buried the lede a bit on this article: https://racer.com/2020/06/07/penske-on-indy-500-we-will-run-it-only-with-fans/

October is on the table if things aren't looking right for August. Given when they made the decision to pull fans from the July weekend, I don't think we're far off of that.

we're gonna have a second wave of covid-19 in autumn that will be larger than the first wave, so

i mean rovals have constraints to them, and much like street tracks, i place them in a different category altogether than road courses. also i don't think the homestead roval is that bad, and i love kansas because of how blatantly obvious it is that the track designer gave less than zero fucks about a roval layout for it.

and i hate cota and all but it doesn't belong anywhere in a conversation of worst tracks in the world. it's real bad but i can name a dozen worse road tracks just off the top of my head.

COTA is just as bad as like a dozen other tracks built in the last twenty years which itself is a travesty

yeah that's why i can't necessarily count it as one of the worst. it's bad but not uniquely bad. if we wanted to go that route regarding modern gp tracks, yas marina is the indisputable worst of those. buddh is also real terrible.

I kinda dug Buddh, but yeah Yas Marina is indisputably the worst. Like you have a blank check to build a giant motorsports palace and that is what you come up with? :cmon:

the thing that really seals the deal for yas marina is how they gave so little of a poo poo when designing it that they forgot about where they were putting a parking lot when making the track layout, so when it came time to build it they just put a kink on the main straightaway to accommodate it

they just gave. no. fucks.

The last thing I remember Marco doing is surprising everyone with a pole position at Detroit in 2018. This Indy 500 pole is likely the high water mark for him. Six poles (?) and two wins in his whole Indycar career, spanning 15 years. And it's been a decade since that last win. I've never been a fan, but I can see how *~*tHe AnDrEtTi nAmE*~* sometimes pulls people in to cheer for him when he makes a few good moves. I think his time is done though, and would love to see someone else get a shot in that ride rather than watching Marco spend another decade floundering at the tail end of the points standings. Make way for Kirkwood in 2022 imo.

the andretti name makes me hate him even more because gently caress blatant nepotism

also really loving that andretti racing got a podium sweep, meanwhile marco is in loving 20th lmao

Maybe the Andretti curse is just having the same name as your father and grandfather and being in the unfortunate position of only being a decent driver instead of a good or great one.

a decent driver doesn't finish in fuckin 20th place while his three teammates sweep the podium lmao marco sucks poo poo through a straw and it's blatantly obvious at this point that his very limited success earlier in his career was due to a combination of andretti autosport being at a relative high point and the indycar field not being as talented in general as it is today, i mean he comes from the era of buddy rice and tomas schekter.

like, he's literally last place in the standings out of all full-time drivers. even if maybe at one point he arguably had some degree of talent, that's far the gently caress in the past.

i also extremely disagree that tagliani is a good comparison, the best team he drove for in indycar was schmitd, who didn't even win a race until 2013. marco meanwhile has, for his entire career, driven for a championship-calibre team, the only way he could possibly have it better was if he drove for ganassi or penske. he's taken that golden opportunity and done so well with it that his last win was in 2011 and his last podium was in 2015. maybe charlie kimball would be a better comparison, except at least kimball has always given off the impression that he's a genuinely nice, if not very talented, dude, whereas marco has always come off as every bit an entitled whiny brat as danica patrick.

I honestly dont know why people take that as a pro trump insurrection tweet? Telling the dipshits protesting the election to stay peaceful seems fine? We know like every one of the drivers voted for Trump, thats like not even in the top 10 of lovely pro trump tweets (Graham has like 9 of the 10 to be fair).

it isn't pro-insurrection and nobody said it was.

it does however imply that trump didn't spend months riling his followers up to do exactly what they did, which is total horeseshit. the attempted murder of loving us congresspeople was 100% on trump and tweeting out poo poo like 'stay peaceful' when you're a vocal trump supporter displays willful ignorance of the man's actions.
