Seems like Stef Wilson and Wickens will also be in the field this weekend along with Jimmie Johnson, based on Twitter.

Wickens was saying about needing a sim rig with adequate hand controls, not sure if anyone got anything to him

The Sim team he races with pretty much wins every endurance event that iRacing puts on, not necessarily with him, but VRS Coanda Simsport is pretty much always on the headlines in iRacing's news page for winning something.

IndyCar’s Detroit GP has been canceled, but Iowa and Laguna Seca are now doubleheaders and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host a second road race in October.

Second IMS race is the same weekend as the SRO Indianapolis 8 hours

I’m glad that it existed and raced, but I don’t think it’s the right solution for a full field of IndyCars. The DW12 has turned into a real good chassis and the current aero is really good for racing.

Road course and short oval, yes. The current speedway package is pretty garbage for racing.

andretti did really well in 2006 and thats it

Fwiw, Andretti went to the same trainer in the off-season this year as he did in '06, so if there's anything left in him, I'd expect to see it this year, he's taking himself a lot more seriously, I'm guessing as a final push to see if he's still got it before maybe going the car owner route.

If it's anything like iRacing, the apron is treacherous as hell, super easy to loop it, you have basically no grip till you're high up in second. Car's set up for the banking with relatively low downforce, it's like driving on ice.

Kind of expected, tbh. Pato has a lot more time in the car, as well as a lot more time in cars in general, with the season of PC that he did in IMSA, as well as his races in Super Formula and F2

This was a good race. People are mad on the internet at Sato, but honestly, throwing Marco into the tires and costing his team a million dollars was hilarious. Hinch, Daly, Power, and Rossi all wrecking themselves was clown shoes as well. Not sure what Herta's deal was, he had to use the runoff area like twice and took himself out of contention. It's been a wild season, and I'm glad Indycar was able to pull it off.
