Boco_T posted:The Hybrid Groundhog saw his shadow, or didn't I can't remember there was an article in Racer a couple weeks back saying the testing was delayed because of parts supply for the hybrid systems, and it sounds like there's another column today with more details on how it happened: quote:At the frequent urging of Chevrolet, and a late and somewhat begrudging agreement from Honda, all parties reached a consensus leading into last weekend’s St. Petersburg race. Finally, the two auto manufacturers came together and gave IndyCar the green light to move off 2023 as the year for hybrid introduction. It buys everyone an extra 12 months of deadline relief that should ensure the new era launches in a proper manner. definitely understand that they'd be facing the deadlines soon for parts ordering just to keep the current engines running. that's why the decision had to be made so soon.

Somebody at CGR is getting they rear end chewed out later for that tweet, especially if it wasn’t approved to go out and knew the talks were still ongoing. Also note that McLaren are still playing the “roster of drivers” game, I wonder if they’re going to do a true Roush-style Gong Show for the F1 seat.

curried lamb of God posted:I started watching F1 last year and Indy this year; both are fun to watch, but it really does feel like NBC's horrid production and endless ad breaks holds back the product. I'm hoping that they introduce a race on the northeast coast - I'm in DC and it looks like mid-Ohio is the closest One thing to remember is that Formula 1 coverage used to be the exact same, down to also being on NBCSN/NBC Sports. ESPN having F1 without commercials is more a happy accident than any long proper tradition or difference in the product. hot cocoa on the couch posted:yeah, loud lol. its glorious. i'm on turn 3 and there's already been a whole bunch of run offs, driving into the tire barrier, and shunts/spins in the support series', not to mention awesome passes and close calls. it's an awesome spot, def coming back next year. I grew up going to IndyCar/Champ Car at Portland ever year, and remember distinctly just how loud it was -- and that was at a natural road course, not a street circuit.

My brain is shutting out how bad it got but I know they added Alan Bestwick to some really awful color commentators in the late-ABC/ESPN days. Rusty Wallace? Did he do any of the actual post-merger commentary? ugh.

Bentai posted:So Seb Vettel is retiring from F1 at the end of the season. CGR should just let Palou go and try to land him instead. I don’t think Vettel wants to be full time with anything at the moment. Frond posted:I think Chip just wants money. Also this, very much so.

Well, about that…quote:“Based on pre-race and post-race technical inspection, the No. 27 was compliant and met or exceeded 1700 pounds during the race,” the series told RACER. “It was once the car was weighed without elements of Rule 14.4.1.1., in post-race inspection, when the car was found to be non-compliant. The process the team used to achieve the minimum weight is not permitted. Huh! Interesting for sure.
