>>75884182
>Alonso taken out by Absolutely Karam turn 1 lap 1
not many people there, hm
>>75884221
it would be funny
imagine the absolute buttfrustration on a global scale by F1boos
>>75884273
its the support race
plus its the Indy GP. not the Indy 500
most people only buy tickets to the 500
>>75884133
>JPM is also back
Will Congolombia finally show up?
>>75884309
Who's the most famous driver starting?
>>75884111
she "abandonded" because slowly more good drivers were joining the series and she could no longer cruise around and scavenge top 10 finishes. she and here management figured she could ez mode nascar ovals for some reason but obviously that's also an embarrassment but I suppose they made money out of it all.
>>75884332
Juan Pablo Montoya
More like Frenchycar !
>>75884280
Either way Indy 500 has both sides covered. Alonso wins, /f1/ shitposting for months about how Indy is a joke series. Alonso crashes & burns like a fool, /f1/ gets to watch his deeper descent into depression. Alonso gets injured/Wheldon'd, dank high quality webms for years to come
>>75884394
>/f1/ shitposting for months about how Indy is a joke series
they had that opportunity last year when Rossi won and instead never did anything
>>75884394
It's not like f1 drivers haven't won it before
>>75884363
it's not the last lap yet
>>75884431
True bit too lazy on that opportunity lad
>>75884394
any F1boo who thinks Alonso is just gonna walk right in and win Indy easily is in for a rude awakening
Nobody cares about your dying "sport". Get out!
>>75884469
Then we get to watch him sudoko himself on the in-field post race
Indy Lights race starting
parade lap now
where's my canadian streamer bro ?
I wish Alonso was racing the Indy road course too
he already raced this course when it was the F1 US GP so it would be cool to see him race a familiar course in an unfamiliar car

>>75884566
Whys that? Don't think he'd fancy the pay downgrade
>>75884489
>Favelanigger thinking he's some kind of trendsetter
For your information, Indycar has grown the last few years.
>>75884468
He won based on a 50-50 skill and luck based win. He was quick, but not as quick as the front runners Munoz and Newgarden, he needed just the right amount of yellow flag laps to even make the fuel save strategy work.
>>75884651
He's mentally gone & if he drops the ball with Bottas he'll probably just walk away to go into his music career. He has been a plastic American for years now so he'll try Indy one day for a big money contract. The sell Indy to blacks fans someone will pay him
>>75884671
Oh yeah for sure Rossi was lucky but just fun when can just say a F1 reject won it hands down
>>75884651
he's an ameriboo who loves black gangster culture
technically Schumacher was an ameriboo as well but a lot less toxic at that lifestyle
FUCK LADS
i just drunk o bottle of port, IM A BIT SMAHSED LADOS
>>75884765
Oh, he wants to be a KANG.
>>75884738
Was he rejected so much as never had an opportunity?
A lot of people who are extremely talented never had a shot at F1 because there's only so many seats available, not everyone can be a F1 driver as a result.
>>75884796
good lad
>>75884796
top lad
>>75884810
Rossi's former team folded a bit after he left so you tell me
>>75884810
Rossi's time in F1 was spent at doomed teams so he was always up against the clock to make a move up the grid that never happened. When he won the 500 much easier to say the Americans lost their top race to money saving F1 tactics he learnt before being dropped for not being good enough
The lights race is pretty good today

Who is most likely to take out Alonso? Sage, Kimball or sato?
>>75885016
The great Juan
>>75885016
the meme answer is Sage but the most realistic answer based on his shenanigans this season is Charlie "Pinball" Kimball
he's already taken out Graham Rahal and Will Power

So who are we rooting for today lads?
>>75886302
rooting for newgarden as i've got a hundo on him
>>75886302
No one, because Indycar is trash-tier bullshit that should've died out 20 years ago.
>There actually was an oval racing anime

>>75886369
thanks for linking this lad
>>75886339
Good luck m8.
Got a buddy of mine who does a lot of betting on ball and stick sports.
Also rooting for Newgarden, would be cool to have an American champ lately who isn't RHR.
>>75886302
Rossi, Hinch, and Newgarden are /ourguys/
>>75886407
not that good desu. Need more cute shit
>>75886302
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv7UJLOyERs
we want based pagenaud
>>75886448
Not crazy about Hinch, last Canadian I liked was Paul Tracy.
Hinch seems kind of nu-canadian.
>>75886470
everyone is nu compared to based PT
they just don't make guys like that anymore
Is Bourdais well liked among american fans ?
>>75886495
I like Bourdais actually
>>75886495
yes but only because he is the only French guy not on Penske
>>75886463
Don't see Pagenaud doing very well today, been wrong before, but he was struggling in morning warm up.
Very loose into and out of turns.
Think he was P19 when it was done, he'll start P8.
>>75886495
Same I like the two frogs. Both are the best road course guys. Kind of not good at ovals though.
>>75886483
Absolutely Karam is the closest to Tracy when it comes to on-trac talentk, but pales in comparison to just how badass he was off of it.
>>75886495
he wears glasses like me :3
>>75886565
Tracy was a much better driver than Karam.
>>75886565
are you fucking kidding me
Karam doesn't half half the talent PT had
if he did, he would have a full time ride
he's a meme for a reason, he crashes cars and doesn't win. at least PT could win.
New indy course is pretty great. I like the chicane. Not sure i like the shallow turns at the end of the second straight better than the S turns they had.
>>75886598
Tracy crashed just as much as Karam did in his first few years. The big difference is Tracy had the best team and equipment around him right off the bat, while Sage was the fourth/fifth-string runner at Ganassi and would push too hard.
BROADCAST IN HALF A BONG LADS
>>75886495
I prefer Pagenaud, but Bourdais okay with me.
>>75886495
He comes from a split era when the fanbases disliked the drivers from the other series for [reasons]. It was annoying, as stated earlier a rising tide raises all boats.
Bourdais not doing well for the last 7 years did not help.
>>75886611
A trained monkey could've won races in a Team Penske car back in the day, especially when they were unique to the rest of the field and ran fucking traction control and had F1-style Torsion Bar suspension while everybody else were using basic springs & dampers.
>>75886302
Our guys are Alotion, Sato, Pagenaud and Hinch.
>>75886738
I guarantee even in his old age PT would be doing better than Karam in a modern IndyCar
>>MFW all this Paul Tracy Shit-Posting
>>75886667
Just to know, isn't that the entire layout MotoGP raced on? Or it is another variation?
>>75886795
I'm pretty sure it's another variant, but it uses the MotoGP layout as a base.
>>75886738
Those suspension advantages were allowed.
Traction control was disallowed as it was a driver assist.
Even in the early 90's, Penske was not dominating absolutely every race. He had Newmann Haas, Ganassi, Players, among others to contend with.
Penske's chassis was deficient by 1995 which is why he did not qualify for the 95 500. They relied so heavily on the Mercedes engine in 94 that they did not do the proper chassis development.
>>75886764
I'll give you Alotion
but we only like Sato for a quick kek when he inevitably crashes, otherwise he's the weeb choice
>>75886795
No chicane
>>75886837
90's CART chassis are aesthetic as fuck
>>75886823
Yeah, it is another layout. It is counterclockwise and it had another approach for turn 3 (Hooked U-turn).
Anon here got the pic >>75886891
>>75886891
>>75886795
>>75886667
>>75886923
Also, original f1 map from 02.
Note the high speed final turn and the S.
>>75886900
I agree, very aggressive looking.
Next year should look solid.
>>75886837
Not only that, but Emerson Fittipaldi lead the team down a wrong path set-up wise that only increased the handling deficiencies with that particular chassis. (Basically, the cars were set up to push like a motherfucker going into the corners and be neutral/loose on the exit because Emmo got scared by the wind and didn't want any downforce in the car.)
Some Belgian guy named Henrik Gruetter did a pretty good job of chronicling The 1994 Indy 500 and why Team Penske failed to qualify in '95, but damn if I can't remember what the name of his website is...

>>75886461
is there any good racing anime?
>>75886974
I remember reading a bunch of literature on it.
Penske should have had a younger driver do development.
Senna would have been a good hire for at least that much since he didn't really want to run CART full season.

It was never worth it, especially since it was all about a guy who just wanted to race in his father's race, ut gets rejected by every team owner around, then gets corralled into a job he hates at 29 because of his mom and then gets paid by NASCAR to nuke everything as a "Fuck You" to all of the shit-head team owners.
If anything, Tony George was /r9k/ before 4chan was even a thing IMO.

BROADCAST STARTING NOW ON ABC
20 MINUTES TO GREEN FLAG
EDGE
Hay guise, I'm running late, I didn't miss prayer time did I?
it literally took only 2 minutes for Eddie Cheever to brag about how he won the 500
>>75887273
Indycar is the Horse Racing of motorsports, with the Indy 500 being the equivalent to the Kentucky Derby IE something you watch once a year and then forget about until next year.
Shit, Pinball Kimball admitted that he was frustrated after he finished 4th one year at the 500, met up with a bunch of his parents friends and then had to explain what he was going to do for the rest of the year now that Indy had come and gone. (The sad joke here being that Indycar goes to Detoilet the week after the 500.)
Finally got an ESPN Play account, now i can watch the race live

As bad as it was with Barfield it's been so fucking bad again since he left. They gave Aleshin a penalty for getting run into the back of while driving in a straight line and braking normally at Long Beach.
Conor Daly already moved up 5 positions.
Rossi in 6

Nepotism is just an unfortunate aspect of motorsports. No sense in complaining about it. It's fun to watch Marco try and fail. Not living up to expectations makes him a bit of an underdog.
>>75888037
NBCSN App I think.
That's subscription based though.
>>75888052
they dont sell lower seats because of safety but it makes it look empty for tv.
>>75888084
They don't sell lower seats because you can't see shit.

bc schumi ruined it for everyone on the old turn
>>75888158
It puts the cars in front of the stands longer, adds another passing zone while letting them straighten out the infield a bit to try to make one there without shortening the lap too much, and IndyCars don't exactly need the gimmick of going through the banking when they are going to do 9000 laps on the oval between tomorrow and the end of the month.

Can't imagine living there considering shitcago dictates legislation for the rest of the state that is rural and conservative
>>75888209
no u
>>75887993
are you the same aussie that says this in every indy/nascar thread
>>75888158
So the lap times don't get compared to the Ferrari F2004
:^)
>the garbage dump that is hinchtown
>>75888191
It's better.
It can be used at anytime to attack or defend, it's not a guaranteed pass.
It's just another later of strategy.
What's hinchcliffe's new psi?
>>75888214
andretti is a honda team la
>>75888233
If it annoys you, yes :^)
i hope hinchtown gets fatally injured again
>gorillaz
nice
>Pagenaud can't finish the pass on the straight
>they've really turned down Rossi's engine!
Fucking Cheever
>>75888202
>>75888194
That doesn't make any sense because of the 500.
>adds another passing zone
The first turn would be a much better one though.
The only reason is really just to not piss off the hardcore old "HURRRR DURRR WHERE IS MUH FRONT ENGINE CAR" IndyCar fans
Who /porktenderloin/ here?
Pigot is eating people up holy shit.
>>75888264

maybe you should be more worried about living once before worrying about him dying twice
>>75888279

this is a 3 stop race

>Sato
Truly the biggest meme.
PIGOT STALLED
>>75888158
everyone criticized the oval turn in the F1 days because there was rarely any passing happening.
And Ecclestone said the F1 cars were never as fast as the Indy cars and it made them look slow. (referring to the Indy 500 where the corner is done at 220mph compared the F1 who just came out of twisties doing it at 150ish.)
So they changed the design to have straight away twisty to straight away to twisty.
its pretty good because its got two sections where a good line through the twisty gets you up to 182 on the straight but if you do the twisty bad you play catch up.
Its finally a great track imo.
>>75888274
Also a fan of the Parmesan corn on the cob
Pidgeotto pls
>>75888272
They're already topped out on the front straight enough that it wouldn't make much difference.

The aero kit covers the giant rear tires unlike f1 which maeks them look fat.

Really loving this race so far. It's plenty of battle now. Plus no caution (would be hard to crash passed the first lap big juan anyway)
waiting for the day a car flips over that flimsy pit wall and reks scores of people
>>75888597

Rossi in the pits. Can Pagenaud catch him??
>>75888926
Seems like it.

Yes whenever they do that it's not because they are trying to "explain" stuff to brits it's because we are watching commercials and they have to kill time.
>Three days after the 1991 race, Stephen C. White, 31, of Indianapolis, entered the grounds of the speedway early on Wednesday, May 29. At some point before 7:30 a.m., he started driving around the track in a GMC pickup truck. He completed three or four laps, approaching speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h). Luther Wray, a foreman in the speedway's maintenance department attempted to block his truck by parking a Dodge Caravan minivan on the track near the start-finish line. White was driving approximately 90 mph (140 km/h) when he struck the van, his truck became airborne and landed approximately 150 feet (46 m) away. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at Methodist Hospital.

Not that bad, but I sure wish that Newgarden hadn't fucked up.

>>75889638
>On lap 162, defending Indianapolis 500 winner Billy Arnold, while leading, broke his rear axle as he negotiated the fourth turn. He lost control of his car and tumbled over the fourth turn wall. In the process, the rear tire from the broken axle was sent sailing in the air and out of the track. The tire bounced over the fence of the speedway and over the Brinks's house across the street, located on 2316 Georgetown Road. The tire landed on Wilbur Brink's head, killing him instantly. Brink was an 11-year-old boy playing in his backyard. Arnold and his riding mechanic Spider Matlock were injured

>>75889913
He's not bad, I do the same which is why I hate that Newgarden fucked himself.
Power is really talented at qualifying and road courses in general.
Wish Penske would shut down. Their constant dominance year after year is cancerous. This sport should be a lot more competitive than F1 but somehow it isn't.
How ass blasted is Helio right now getting BTFO by Pagenaud on the first turn
>>75889962
if there was no Penske some other team would take their place
>>75889963
Out of 1-10, an 8.5/10.
>>75889962
>coyne and schimdt win the first two races
>series isn't competitive
???
btw if penske didn't exist, all the talented people he hires would just be on some other team dominating
>>75889962
They're not as dominant as you're led to believe.
>>75889783
Its going to be hilarious when he blows an engine on lap 3. Alternatively, it will be hilarious when he shows poor speed and runs 20-25th all day.
If he somehow wins we will never hear the end of it. Formula 1 fans are already pompous as fuck. Alonso winning will inflate their egos to unbearable proportions.
Newgarden getting chewed out by Roger right now
>>75889871
Zanardi's career could be a great subject for a movie. But knowing the current trend, something on the line of George Mack, Leilani Munter (you know, this kind of shit drivers) would fit perfectly with Hollywood or movie production as of now in general.
Or alternatively about "supersub" Roberto Moreno
