Yeah, instead you get four of them fighting it out each year, with one of them only being good on ovals (Castroneves), one of the only good on road courses (Power) and the other two crushing it everywhere.

I'll take F1 and watching /sp/ go full-/pol/ whenever Lewis Hamilton wins races over this retarded piece of shit spec series.

>>74642418

I hate ABC's coverage with a passion. The only good thing abut it is Allen Bestwick and sometimes you can tell that the professional side of him gets really strained having to listen to Eddie "Practice for the Indy 500" Cheever and Scott "Football Field a Second" Goodyear, with Cheever trying to convince people that he "Won Le Mans once" and that his F1 career wasn't a total failure really grating on my nerves.

>Post YFW Indycar chooses ABC/ESPN 8 as full-time broadcast partners for next year

Moshi moshi Rafuru Schumacher faggoto desu (●＾o＾●)

who are the F1 guys on the grid?

Rossi
Sato

Anyone else?

>>74642682
Chilton

>>74642614
penske booted montoya to make room for josef newgarden. As a montoya fan I think it stinks, but I don't blame penske for wanting to get newgarden, that dude's still young and he's gonna go places. Montoya's still gonna drive the indy gp and 500 and he'll probably be involved with penske's IMSA program they're launching next year.

>>74642526

the GOAT template for a 3 man commentating crew is Pro Anchor/Host guy (Bestwick, Page, etc), Ex-Driver, and Ex-Strategist/Crew Chief. Having 2 ex-drivers, especially 2 so undeservingly arrogant ones such as Goodyear and Cheever, makes the broadcast unwatchable.

Fox is making the same mistake on their nascar coverage with Gordon AND DW.

>>74642682
Bourdais

>>74642696

>tfw all the NASCAR guys bully me for being a Montoya fan

>>74642636

He retired from broadcasting entirely, didn't he?

>>74642641

Cheever's technically Italian, because he was born on an USA Airforce Base in Italy, originally had an Italian racing license from the FIA and even learned to speak Italian as a kid before learning English.

Your point still stands though.

>>74642641

Tracy/Bell/Kendall are amazing.

>>74642682
Chilton
Bourdais
Power

>>74642736

Power tested an F1 car once, but he never raced in F1.

>>74642682
Also Montoya

>>74642696

Montoya stopped caring after he didn't win the 2015 title. It's not like he suddenly forgot to drive in one season, he just didn't bother. Apparently to the point that he would just show up 2 mins before a session, drive a bit, then fuck off and not even set up the car properly. So I think his booting is justified and probably what both sides wanted anyway.

Here's hoping Montoya still goes and does Le Mans before going full Marlon Brando mode with the food

>>74642746
Oh, yeah I used to to watch A1 too, you see.

>>74642728

This.

>Based Tracy shitting on Marco Andretti during last year's season finale

>T. Bell getting all butt-hurt over defending how he raced at Indy

Are race "engineers" actual professional, certified engineers who graduated from engineering schools or are they just one by name?

>>74642766

Another reason is that his son is getting into Pro Karting this year and JPM admitted that he wanted to help him through that the same way his father backed him up when he was young.

>>74642793

Tracy doesn't give a fuck, don't think he ever has

Marco Andretti is also just a total fucking shit driver so shit talking him is entirely justified, he is literally only in racing because his last name happens to be Andretti and it happens to be a bit of a family business for them

Another NFL-related person giving the starting command.
Why am i not surprised

>>74642792
I got fragmenting, lag, and the damn error beeps

>>74642766
Yeah it was pretty depressing to watch desu, but I can't say I really blame him after power basically took the '15 championship from him at sonoma.

>>74642841

Surprised it isn't a MLB player since they have spring training in Tampa right about now.

>>74642816

The days of some guy just showing up in a team and being an "Engineer" without going to the right schools are loooong gone anon.

Shit, I'm pretty sure the lead engineer for the last Le Mans-winning Audi is in Indycar right now working with somebody...

God damn it, guys. Does it need to be that cringy everytime they start a race?

>>74642866

Yes, because this is 'murricah and we always have cringey starts to races.

So who's gonna take the 'chip this year?

>>74642526
I do get a kick out of every time Cheever reminds Goodyear that he actually won the Indy 500

>>74642893
Too early to say
Power maybe?

>>74642920

Will Power will never win the 500, too much of a hot head

>>74642893

Probably Pagednaud, but it's still too early to make a guess. Team Penske always start the year off strong, but after the Indy 500 they start to slip up.

>>74642908

HINCHCLIFFE

>>74643055

Because all ABC cares about is keeping The Indy 500. They only do these other races as part of their contract and in truth, AbC/ESPN have really started to move away from covering any kind of motors port on a regular basis (To the point that ESPN usually doesn't have any updates on their 24/7 "News Crawl" about F1, NASCAR or Indycar).

And Graham Rahal goes back to being a whiny little bitch. Shame.

Why can't IndyCar race at Road Atlanta?

THE FUCKING LEAF IS LEADING

Oh, hey, good, i'm only 6 laps late.

>Can't pinch the hinch

>>74643083

>>74643090

GODCLIFFE

CANUCK'D

>>74643055
Because ESPN/ABC only broadcast like 4 professional races all year, so why should they try so hard/ spend alot of money?

>>74643107

No real run-off areas and Indycars are monstrously fast, so an off could be fatal unless they put up SAFER barriers in certain places.

>>74643113
Can't Lynch the Hinch

Why do they pray before every race???

>>74643103
All ESPN cares about are football/basketball these days. The anchors and talent snort and smirk whenever they have to talk baseball or hockey, let alone something as degrading as motorsports.

>The Mayor of Hinchtown

How the hell did Hinchcliffe get that nickname anyway?

>>74643144
Because they are risking their lives

>>74643155
Here at least they have IndyCar, Moto GP and F1 highlights.
But the remainder programming is FOOTBALL

>>74643144
Because God bless America and so on

>>74643155

Exactly. They treat racing like it's the Kentucky Derby for one particular race (The Indy 500), then shit on the whole sport for the rest of the year.

>>74643155
They've been like that for almost 2 decades tho. I wonder why they even bother bidding on these rights just for one race.

>>74643144
America is a majority Christian country and there's no reason to bow to other's whims when it's in America's best interests to at least remain culturally Christian regardless of whether people believe it.

That doesn't matter, remaining culturally Christian acts as a bulwark against Islam, cultural Marxism, and moral relativism(by giving a firm standard by which society can judge what is acceptable and what is not).
Religion is also great at increasing birth rates(another good way to avoid being conquered), athiests have a REALLY hard time having children it seems.

Lets watch Indycar shall we?

I feel so bad when they throw their tire guns.

Holy shit. Here's google's translation:

IndyCar series leader Randy Bernard tried to attract also Kimi Räikkönen in the same competition, with Dan Wheldon lost his life at the weekend.
Originally designed by Bernard, the five-million-dollar cash prize would be driven by external series newcomer drivers.

- I have read about the last Indy-race idea. Drivers are certainly interested in it, because there is a lot of money, Raikkonen said in April Autosport magazine.

Raikkonen, however, decided not to go to Las Vegas because it was not sure if she a good car.

- There's always said that you get the best car, but I do not know. It's so different, Räikkönen thought in the spring.

The race, which was lured Räikkönen, received on Sunday a fatal turn when a total of 15 cars went big chain collision.

Experienced Dan Wheldonin car burst into flames, and the British driver kiidätetty hospital subsequently died from his injuries in a collision.

His perishing is widely surtu motor sport in the world.

I always felt that everybody in Indycar except the corporate brass knew that a wreck like Vegas 2011 could happen any time they raced those things, but they couldn't get a chance to change it until somebody died.

>TFW in an alternate time line Vegas 2011 never happened and an even bigger crash in the DW12s resulted from it

Indycar in 4k 60fps when?

>>74643511

From what I have read, Renna's car spun around, got airborne, went through a fence and disintegrated on impact similar to what had happened to Martin Donnelly in 1991(?).

Video of the incident was said to have existed, but was later thought to have been destroyed and Tony George paid BIG money to shut anybody up trying to talk about it on record.

Andretti will win, quote me on this

this is creepypasta levels of absurd hyperbole, why do people honestly still believe this? It was a horrific crash but the notion that it would have 'ended everything forever' is unsubstantiated stupidity

desu the fact that they had to replace part of the grandstand does suggest that there would've been grave spectator injuries, if not deaths.

Marco's only semi-decent on the big ovals like Indy & Pocono. Otherwise, he's a rolling chicane.

>>74643678

That was going to be the title track for it, yes. But then stuff spiraled out of control, "The Split" happened, they tried to re-write the original script for F1 for marketing reasons, Bernie E. said "Hell No" to an F1 movie, then the sequel to a movie that never existed became Driven.

>>74643900

Renna's car was said to have landed in the section of the grandstand that IMS seats the handicaped, veterans and kids from local schools. If Tony Renna's accident happened with cameras on it would've ended oval racing in America PERIOD.

>>74643900
Because we know what kind of injuries comes with crashes like that. See Gordon Smiley.

the chassis went under the stands, not over. Bits of debris where alleged to have made it across the street onto adjacent homeowner's front lawns, but the trajectory of the car supposedly was not unlike that of Mike Conway's airborne crash in 2011, and not nearly as high over as you believe

>>74643963
It would have ended Indycar as the 500 would now be tainted in the modern age.
They desperately need to develop see through shock absorbing material to replace the fencing or be used in tandem with it.
Imagine throwing a ball at a hanging bed sheet.

Well not he won the Indy Lights last year, but he also won a F3 open in a season you got people like Spencer Pigot, Sandy Stuvik, Emil Bernstorff, Artur Janosz (last three in GP3) and Santiago Urrutia. Take it for what it worthes.

In the early 1990s, there was talk about a big-budget movie being made about racing (Specifically Indycar), with Sly Stallone as the lead, Dolph Lundgren as the villain and a drink of Stallone's attached to direct. Due to various issues, the original draft of the movie never got made, but a second script that was attached to the first one became the awful popcorn racing flick Driven.

Smiley's crash happened in practice though and in a time where the media scrutiny of racing wasn't nearly as harsh as it is today, or even 10 years ago.

>>74644164
He was born there too. Guess it's easier to find sponsorship this way

I don't mind Arbys or Shaq shilling for IcyHot but goddamn ABC sitcoms are absolute trash

Everyone knows Indycar is literally 1 big crash away from getting openwheel cars banned from racing on ovals forever

The Indy speeds are like end of Monza straight fast. You can't really get the sense of speed but if you lose control or crash into the fucking CONCRETE barrier at those speeds you are simply just dead, and if someone crashes into your car, they are dead as well

It honestly says a lot about the quality of these drivers that there aren't more massive losses of control and massive crashes and deaths every oval race ever

No it was a bigger back then. Less to dilute people's attention. The 500 used to be HUGE. Way bigger then today when it's just another race in the series and only die hard race fans and foriegners care. Also there was more then just smiley there was a horrific crash at the start because of a dumb rookie. Everyone was super nervous about the big race in those days.

Also for comparison F1 cars take e.g. Catalunya T3 which is right after the 1st/2nd gear chicane, at about 250 kmh probably even faster now with the new regs and new cars. So yea 250 is slow as fugg
