run close and have good races (and kill people) or can't pass and have lovely races (and kill slightly fewer people) the indycar oval conundrum

Frond posted:I watched some of the IRL. The pack racing sucked rear end. I mean the last oval race that they even bother showing clips of was this one: https://twitter.com/GrahamRahal/status/1386814754635849728 They gotta get the cars closer if they want anyone to care about oval racing.

your friend wicka posted:I hope it ends up on a network that will just show racing and not segues with drivers wandering abandoned industrial parks or Rutledge investigating yachts. Number_6 posted:It's probably too much to ask, but I'd like it to be on a network that actually covers all the key passes, pitstops etc. instead of being in commercial time for half the race. but thats not any of the US networks so

MazeOfTzeentch posted:I really wish we could have seen the post race, because it would have been LIT Theres a bit of it in the Discord: https://twitter.com/toomuchracing/status/1403828481922899968 I think the red was good. It is what they always do. Every car refired but one, maybe Penske should look into some more ECU cooling! They should let them get the driver cooling faster though.

Vasukhani posted:Well without development there is really no reason to run ovals imo. They should at least reduce the power by another 200 hp. It's a fine series then, like F2 or Super Formula Da gently caress

The speed (and the risk) is part of the point of watching top level racing for lots of people. That’s what makes it cool. I like slow racing too, and I’ve made peace with never hearing “it’s a new track record” at Indy ever again, but indycar should absolutely not abandon the things that make it cool to be like feeder series it is already (imo) much more entertaining than.

That happened because the series used to mandate rear wing angles though, not really anything to do with development. They have roughly the same amount of development now as then (shocks and thats about it really).

You could tell an IRL race was gonna be bad in the mandatory AoA era when the fastest way around the track was just running the bottom full throttle 100% of the time even down the straights. I don't mind momentum/drafting racing as much as some of yall, but the true 2x2 pack races were tough to watch sometimes.

MazeOfTzeentch posted:They still do mandate rear wing angles at the superspeedways, but I don't think they do at short ovals, they just limit it by not allowing the upper wing flaps. They limit what aero parts you can and can’t run to put the teams in a downforce range, but there is no minimum AoA at the two speedway tracks left. In fact, there is a set maximum. On top of the max AoA, both Texas and Indy have the max downforce parts not allowed. It’s the inverse of the old days. The AoA era was different for a lot of other reasons too that probably are worth leaving in the past. Cygni fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jun 23, 2021 |

Been to Long Beach more times than i can count, it is one of the best weekend racing experiences you can get anywhere. For race day, I think stands 36 and 40 are the best. I wouldn't buy a stand seat for Saturday. Just spend all day walkin around the track and watching from various angles, checking out the convention center, etc. Also crucially, don't skip Saturday, it is absolutely worth making it a 2 day thing and doing both days.

Reynold posted:Nah, Kellett is a bad pay driver in a bad car. His best season in open wheel racing was 2018 Indy Lights, where he repeatedly achieved top five finishes due to there only being seven loving cars on the grid. I guess he routinely finished on the podium in the Freedom 100, but that doesn't really make up for Never Winning Anything Ever. He is my current go-to example of a talentless driver with lots of daddy's money to buy his way into the sport. Well sure, but that kinda understates how bad some of the pay drivers in indycar have been. Like I don't put him on the same level as Duno, Jack Miller, Marty Roth, SLICK RACIN Gardner, Vitolo, Gache, Witherill, Matsushita, Dracone, Sperafico(s), Ho-Pin Tung, John Herb, George Mack, Will Langhorne, Rick Treadway (Jr!), Billy Roe, John de Vries, Jeret Schroeder, Tyce Carlson, Fabrizio del Monte, Camithias, Charlie Nearburg etc. poo poo, hes likely far more talented than indycar CO CHAMPION Buzz Calkins.
