^^ what this thread should've been
>>75402868
don't get me wrong I like all racing but most threads on here are about NASCAR or F1
I thought I'd show some love to my IndyCar fans and try to get a semi-regular general going
>>75402931
Motorsport Generals barely talk about IndyCar
we need our own General like F1 and NASCAR have
>>75402960
there's not enough racing fans here to sustain a general for each series outside of F1 thus motor/sp/ort general threads
I agree though with your love of Indycar
>>75402977
since when are there NASCAR generals?
>>75402977
There's no NASCAR general, and how productive is posting in the F1 thread?
>>75402989
fine but I post something about IndyCarin the general and get hardly any replies
sometimes I feel like I'm talking about badminton. why does nobody care? IndyCar is such an underrated race series
and NASCAR has /turnleft/ up often
>>75403040
fyi, /turnleft/ is what we title all of the race threads for NASCAR
Indy is underrated. imo it's the best racing series in the world in some ways
>>75403066
I know, that's why I want to talk about it with Anons besides just on race day
I'm usually the guy that gets the race thread going like an hour or 2 before the race because I'm so hype and I love IndyCar
>Internet at apartment is out for the past 2 days
>phone posting scum right now
I'm going to my landlord right now to tell him to fix that shit.
seriously I can't watch muh Indycar stream on sunday, heads are going to roll. one of the few things I have to look forward to
Who else /missjuan/ here?
>>75403234
JPM will definetly go down as one of the all time greats in any category of racing.
that said, I'm sort of glad he's gone, so younger guys like Hinch, Newgarden, Rossi, etc. can have a chance
Dixon, Castroneves, Kanaan, need to retire soon too in my opinion. all good racers but it's time for new blood
Bourdais seems to be making a comeback this year but he's getting old too
>>75403291
also Marco Andretti but he will never be fired by Michael because nepotism
if Marco wasn't an Andretti he would have been fired long ago.
>>75403291
he's my favorite driver of all time
I was his biggest fan in NASCAR
too bad Ganassi had 3rd tier shitwagons during Juan's tenure there.
I want to see him race in NASCAR trucks so he can finally get the stock car oval win to complete his resume
>>75403327
I heard he might be going to the Ganassi sports car program
just a rumor
he did great in F1 too but he had Schumacher to contend with in that era
>>75403090
I like Indy too, I just like NASCAR more, so if they're both on at the same time then NASCAR is the one I'm watching live.
>>75403040
Well, it's a lot like Indycar itself. No one talks about it outside of the races, a few people talk about it during the races, and then there's a flood of threads when it's the 500.
>>75403371
opposite lol. I like road courses desu and the Indy 500 is the only oval I like
but I would rather watch NASCAR at Sonoma than the Monaco GP. more competition rather than Mercedes/RedBull/Ferrari always winning every race
I wish Tony Stewart would come back for one more try at the 500
so the big news is Fernando Alonso skipping Monaco GP to race the Indy 500, what do you guys think? will he learn quickly? have speed in the race? McLaren full season team in the future?
>>75403731
No
Yes
No
>tfw there is one channel that airs Indycar here and it is treated like serious business because they barely air anything interesting other than Masterchef and turkish soaps
>tfw this channel's signal is terrible in my city
pls respond -_-
>>75404125
how can he be fast if he doesn't learn quickly
>>75402829
>not posting in motor/sp/ort general
>>75402977
There is not enough traffic or news to sustain an IndyCar general. To say that no one talks about indycar in those threads is preposterous because I've been in those threads since the beginning.
>>75404445
no ur preposterous.
if I want to talk IndyCar in /MSG/ I have to really press the issue and even then I only get like 1 response
