Testing at Barber for a small handful of teams and drivers, including Nico Hulkenberg, Indy Lights runner-up David Maluka, and Ryan Hunter-Reay with ECR. No word on any of those leading to deals for next season yet, but it wouldn't be a shock if Hulkenberg gets at least a partial schedule with McLaren.

I imagine if Hulkenberg wants to race Indycar he will get a ride pretty easily.

It's going away from Belle Isle because I guess NIMBYS were upset they lost a week or two of access to the island over the course of the whole year?

Yeah I'm down to see what kinda street circuit they end up with. I've never been in love with Bell Isle. This news about Kirkwood to the Foyt car is killing me, though. They been doin Lights champions DIRTY the last few years. But DeFrancesco getting the Andretti seat instead? loving madness. I hope Kirkwood pulls off some upsets and moves on.

I've skipped watching Detroit for the past few years, I've always found it to be the most boring race of the season. So now there's hope.

there have already been some Google Street View investigations of this map and they are predictably hilarious. but hey we get the Detroit race around GM's headquarters building, so can't complain too much.

That hairpin at the far left end is going to lead to at least one full-field pileup like Baltimore did, isn't it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5QQxP9eK-I&t=201s

Man, it’s too bad Baltimore couldn’t keep going, it was actually a decent race once they got some of the stupid poo poo out of the way. The first year was a complete clusterfuck though, the promoter had no idea of what he was doing.

Take this with a grain of salt, but apparently Rossi is out at Andretti come 2023. Kirkwood would replace him.

I'm assuming you got this from pruetts podcast last week where he said from what he's heard, Rossi could win every race in 2022 and it wouldn't matter, it's already been decided.

Take from that what you will. honestly wouldn't be surprised if Max Chilton wasn't looking to take his money elsewhere, this seems like the time to go sports car racing instead. and without Chilton I doubt Carlin sticks around as an independent organization.

https://racer.com/2021/12/09/karam-ferrucci-get-dreyer-reinbold-call-up-for-indy-500/ I try not to let my personal prejudices cloud my judgement but holey moley, I don't think there is a driver lineup that is more overhyped than this one.

Reminder that Hinch has been aiming at the booth since approximately Forever ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rrVGjARN9I Frond posted:https://racer.com/2021/12/09/karam-ferrucci-get-dreyer-reinbold-call-up-for-indy-500/ Karam is absolutely overhyped. Ferucci is a pile of poo poo in human form, and overhyped everywhere but Indy... but the turd can actually drive well there. Well enough to get a win? I hope never.

In better news, Sato confirmed at DCRwRWR for the full year: https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/sato-coyne-interview-2022-potential/6866388/  I hope they can get him a good engineer since Boisson moved with Big John over to Andretti.

Jimmie decided he had so much fun running in the high teens and low 20s last year that he wants to do it again this year, but full time! https://motorsports.nbcsports.com/2...mnvh7YjyN4xD1HU I wonder what this means for TK. I know there was talk of a 5th car at Indy.

If you ever want to remind yourself that American Open Wheel has always been its worst enemy, check out the copies of Motor Age that are on the internet archive. The AAA vs ACA fight was CART vs IRL 80 years before. There still needs to be a sim about that era, racing on board tracks and bricks and then going through the country roads of Long Island or the suburban streets of Santa Monica. Closest we have is the 1923 mods for AC, the Delage and Sunbeam from that era both raced in the AAA. wisconsingreg fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Dec 19, 2021 |
