better than grand pricks I suppose

I was wondering if speedway racing is more demanding on the body than tracks ?

>>75935123
that game is a drug

so far Alonso is the fastest but he can't keep up the pace

>>75935156
Indianapolis is not super demanding on the body.
A short track like pheonix or Iowa where the drivers are experiencing 5.5G's sustained through a corner are much more physical. Bearing in mind that the cars have no power steering, that G-loading is felt heavily.
I believe drivers experience 3.5G's at most at Indy and they have long straightaways to breath.

>>75935156
Yes and no.

On one hand you're sustained to the high G forces for longer, but the peak G force at high speed F1 tracks can exceed the peak G force at the lower speed ovals.

On the other hand, on ovals, your neck is only experiencing lateral forces to the right, whereas on a road course you're not only experiencing it in both directions, causing more strain in that regard than an oval, but the left and right-handed corners alternate often enough for any weak-necked drivers to be having real problems.

what is the best lap in Indy? I mean timewise

>>75935476
one qualifying pace they will be 100% throttle

for ROP they have points on the track they must lift and it changes on each stage before they can go all out. in the race they'll be mostly full throttle but will be lifting early with full fuel and to avoid running into the back of cars

Indy's about equal for Chevrolet & Honda. Honda's got the horsepower and good speed on Super-speedways and on Street Courses, but Chevrolet have a more efficient Aero package that makes Short Ovals and fast Road Courses like Barber & Road America a cakewalk.

Also, who /montoya/ in here?

You know, he's run damn fast at Indy since he's been in Indycar and could've won the race 2-3 times already.

Not gonna happen because AJ Foyt Enterprises is a dumpster fire compared to every other full-time team. Shit, I think Buddy Lazier's family-run one-off operation is the only one less professional at Indy this year IMO.

Should be an Alonso general seeing as he is the most interesting aspect of F1 and Indy.

hey OP, I just want to say thank you very much for making this thread. IndyCar best racing series.

fuck /turnleft/ and /f1/

motor/sp/ort general is basically /turnleft/ and /f1/ combined with sports car racing

IndyCar never gets a fair chance

>>75939179
Marco already had his year and HE FAILED.

he was so close to winning Indy in his rookie year and he blew it. now he's 2 wins in IndyCar in 10 years. the only reason he has a ride is his last name is Andretti.

has he taken a look at himself in the mirror lately?

>>75944586
>>75944608
Anyone can if they have skill.

I heard he had a bad start this year because they crashed into him like 3 times at the start of the races

>>75944636
its a lot easier to get a ride in IndyCar than F1

the series is about skill and not the best car

>>75944658
Hope he can reach it then, racing is kind of a completely non-thing here. Too expensive I guess

>>75944658
>its a lot easier to get a ride in IndyCar than F1
But it still has similar problems for new drivers. Not many seats open up every year and it is still largely about if you can bring your own sponsors.

Take Gabby Chaves for example. Showed that he has all the necessary talent in his rookie year, then got shoved out of the series because someone else came in with more money in their wallet and he hasn't been able to find a full time job since.

>>75944722
true, but to a much lesser extent than F1.
also the cars are damn near equal. it's more about the driver's skill.

>>75944761
Yeah but in Uruguay it's like triple because we don't have industry, in the US you can buy stuff that you guys build in here everything's imported. Not to mention you already have the infrastructure for it

Top that with the fact that there's no racing culture here and it just becomes pretty irrelevant

thank you OP
I'm gonna do my best to keep /indy/ up at least for the month of may!

I've made the race thread for every IndyCar race so far this year and I was starting to think I was alone, thank you

>>75944848
true but, it's still really hard here too bro.
any motorsport category, you either start racing once you're barely able to walk, or, you won't become a race driver.

plus most normies here only care about NASCAR.

that's why IndyCar fans embrace foreign drivers like Helio Castroneves, Simon Pagenaud, Will Power, etc. we are just happy to have good drivers in our series.

whereas the NASCAR fuckheads hate foreigners, hate women (Danica), and hate Toyota. and hate any course that is not turnleft.

at the same time, the F1 snobs look down on us too.

it's hard being an IndyCar fan.

I hope the mods at least make the Indy 500 thread a sticky. with all the F1boos tuning in for Alonso, and the casuals, it's gonna be ridiculous amounts of (shit)posting

>>75944724
Pretty sure he flipped off Max Chilton actually.

The only observations I would encourage people to make during this week of practice is how well drivers/cars run in traffic.
If they can pass and stay ahead or if they're immediately overtaken.
Also watch how close your favorite driver gets to the wall when exiting turns 2 and 4, tells you how confident they are in the setup.
Fastest speeds you'll see outside of Fast Friday when boost is turned up will be in the 227-228mph range weather permitting. These speeds are achieved by following another car which eliminates quite a lot of drag since the leading car punches a large hole in the air.

He's deathly terrified of the dirty air. Watch how he's driving
He'll finish 18th if he doesn't get wrecked out by Sato or Sage

>>75953842
but anon, there is no dirty air when you're upfront

>>75953902
>implying the leader can run away from the pack here

>>75953902

He said himself yesterday that the qualifying setup isn't a priority, and this is especially true with only 33 entrants this year.

>Jack Harvey
kekekeke

>inb4 Alonso is crashed out of the race by Absolutely Karam lap 1 turn 1

>>75954884
Funniest thing would be Montoya casually fucking him over with a sidedraft or some shit that he doesn't know how to handle

So why must the track be inspected?

>>75952753
dude fuck all those trackforum boomer faggots that forum is a complete shithole

if those guys had their way Indy would be the only race IndyCar does and it would still be paved with bricks

>>75955001
check for shit that could puncture a tire

they don't want people flying into the fence and since this is a 6 hour session they need some time once in a while to look.

>>75955001
surface needs to be clear of any possible bits of carbon fiber for safety

you do not want to cut a tire on one of those bits at 200+mph

>>75955056
>>75955070
Thanks.

>>75955080
no problem bro

hey quick question how many complete IndyCar noobs do we have watching this practice? are you new guys enjoying it so far?

>>75955152
>are you new guys enjoying it so far?

It's a little bit boring when there are only a few cars in the track, but then again it's only practice so I can't complain. Rather entertaining otherwise.

yellow flag

another inspection

>>75955265
this next hour should be more cars on track, this seems to be the time of day they like to practice passing and being close together

>snake pit

who the fuck would go to the Indy 500 to listen to shitty EDM and not even watch the race?

>>75955385
college dummies aka ez money

>>75955403
dumbasses

Will Power 224.656
Helio 224.287

>>75954939
>sidedraft
Whats that?

Alonso went on track

>>75955547
when a car is running by another they get affected by the air from the other car

>>75955547
If you get close enough to the car next to you for a brief instant, you disrupt the airflow over it's spoiler and slow it down slightly

more debris

carpenter almost put a juncos car into the wall there, what a dick

>>75955586
I'm glad they're taking no chances with cut tires
We don't need cars in the wall this early in the week

>>75955604
yeah I agree

365 km/h

>Alonslow 23rd

Montoya says that the Hondas are sandbagging

Marco Andretti 24th

JUST

what the fuck is chilton doing

>>75955750
being a shitty pay driver

>>75955703
>within seven tenths of the pace after like a couple of hours practice, up against people who have been racing on ovals for a decade or more
>still THREE DAYS of practice to go before qualifying

yeah this is going to be easy for Fastnando Alonsfast

>>75955765
doesn't matter how fast he is if Kimball Karam Sato Chilton etc. crash him into the wall

some bretty gud liveries this year

Alonso slipstreaming Rossi

>>75955765
He's not going to figure out the aero part of this game completely

I'll say it again 18th place if he doesn't crash

>>75955860
this

all these F1boos are in for a rude awakening this is not going to be quick and easy for Alonso like they think

alonso is taking the apex too low and scrubbing too much speed. it is like he is afraid of the wall on corner exit so he is overcompensating to stay far left

>>75955882
Rossi seemed to do okay :^)

Alsono just got GANGRAPED

Alonslow getting absolutely INHALED everywhere on track

>>75955893

Someone needs to coach him on his line
Putting that left front so far beneath the white line is a horrible choice
He's developing a bad habit that needs axed right now

>>75955901
that was a once in a lifetime perfect scenario for him

he's skilled and so is Alonso but the odds are ridiculous for a oval noob to win first try

Alotion into the wall

ALOTION SCRAPPED THE WALL

dude is a maniac with balls of steel

/motion/ boyz

>>75955901
he hit the lotto on that one

Alonso with a pass into Turn 1

He's got the hang of it now lads, hahaha this slipstreaming business seems so difficult

>>75955901
anything can happen, hell Pippa Mann could win. but highly unlikely

>>75955984
>hell Pippa Mann could win.

nah come on now, Rossi was running top 10 all day, he wasn't off the pace like Mann or even like Alonso is

I don't think Mikhail Aleshin has whatever part of your brain that processes danger

>>75956015
In russia, life is danger

>>75956004
I think the reason Rossi's win seemed to come out of nowhere is that ABC are fucking retards and have no idea how to cover a race. if they were competent they would have followed him during the race and it wouldn't have been as much of a surprise at the end

>>75956041
I was at the race and it was still pretty surprising, everyone was waiting for him to pit and looking at Munoz who would take over the lead

>>75956041
Yeah I watched the replay and they were more confused than we were sitting in the stands not being able to hear the pa system. Pretty funny desu. Wish Munoz would've won, I thought he had it.

>>75956072
thank god ABC is not covering IndyCar anymore after this year good fucking riddance

>>75956085
Who has the race broadcast next year?
NBC?

Checkered Flag
park 'em in the garage for the night

>>75956098
not sure but I hope so. NBCSN has been doing a great job so far covering IndyCar. plus Paul Tracy and Townsend Bell are a million times better at commentary than Eddie Cheever and Scott Goodyear

>>75956123
I wish NBCSN would hire AB

>>75956085
google tells me the deal ends after 2018

>>75956131
Antron Brown?

>>75956131
Allen Bestwick and Jon Beekhuis are good yeah also Dr. Punch
>>75956133
I heard they were gonna end the contract early

>>75956164
>I heard they were gonna end the contract early
Hope you're right

>>75956170
me too lol

>>75956164
Dr Punch belongs back at the track
you're right
His heart is with racing

Who do we think will be on the pole this year gents?

I really hope it's not A FUCKING LEAF.

>>75961954
If I get flooded with cash and bankroll my own team I'll call up some anime people and get it done, ok?

>>75964029
It was cool when Tagliani was on pole.

>>75964029
gotta be SAGE

>>75964080
Thanks Anon I appreciate it

>>75964029
Oriol or a lotion

>>75964029
I'm hoping for a Newgarden victory in general so I'll hope he's on pole.
He and Carlos Munoz were nearly in tears in post race interview after coming in 2nd and 3rd.

>>75964771

If we all drink our Alotion Potions™, he'll win.

>>75964029

For me, it's Absolutely Karam.

>>75964029
I want Juan, followed by the leaf

>>75964806
pole doesn't mean shit in a race this long
plus they line up in rows of three for the rolling start so you don't even get an advantage by having pole over 2nd or 3rd fastest qualifying really

JR Hildebrand first on track

>wienerschnitzel

looks windy as fuck

Probably going to be another day of race sims.
Given the rain in the forecast, teams will not bother with quali setups due to the track conditions likely to change dramatically after the rubber is washed off the surface.
