For you lads who didn't see Sato's pole run yesterday.
He was an absolute madman. His second timed lap nearly saw him get into the wall, but he did not lift.
So, we're probably going to be pretty short on streams today
The Canadian Streamer and Besweet got nearly all of their accounts banned trying to stream NASCAR yesterday.
The NBC Jews were out for blood
>>77721343
Absolute legend
>>77721095
This song has actually grown on me, what is happening
>>77721343
This just proves what a massive little bitchboy Marco is
>>77721389
There would be acestreams for sure
>>77721970
pretty much. IIRC he lifted big time in his run
>>77721389

15~ till prerace coverage starts.
These last couple races will have serious implications on the championship.
If any top contender DNF's or finishes poorly, then that will be it for their championship run, because it's very likely that no matter what, at least one of the contenders will be consistent.
Pull for Josef, but he's not starting in the best position.

Whats more dangerous?

>>77723332
Both about equal.
There are safety concerns about both tracks that I have.
If a car were to jump the pit wall at either track, it would be a disaster.
Pocono also used to have these inside walls that were concerning.
Just hope for a safe race.

Can Sato really turn his pole into something? Who would your 4th pick be?
>>77717684
penskewinslol
Who should I cheer for?
>>77723500
Im skeptical if Sato can actually won this one. My 4th pick was Chavez. Hoping for another cheap top 10
>>77723516
Honda actually looks a lot better this weekend
>>77723500
Sato is one of /our guys/, but he's not gonna win.
>>77723521
Your countryman and series defending champion Simon Pagenaud
>>77723500
sato wont even finish top 10
he only got the pole due to kamikaze shit. cant do that during the race
>>77723521
Bourdais, Pagenaud is a fag.
>>77723521
/ourguy/ Will Power
Hunter-Reay self-confirmed BIG GUY
>>77723557
Yeah no way Sato wins a 500 mile race
>>77723521
A safe bet is to always root for your countryman.
Simon Pagenaud is also a good driver as well, last year's champion.
I'll root for Josef and other young American drivers.
>>77723561
Bourdais is still out from his crash at indianapolis
>>77723581
Even more reason to support him.
>>77718033
WINNING
>>77723605
I suppose. He should be back I a couple weeks to close out the season
>>77723648
He'll probably return at Watkins Glen.
He said he doesn't have a strong desire to do another oval this season.
>>77723664
Why not? Plenty of time to get well until next season
Wew I forgot Helio almost got decapitated by Rossi last year
>>77723522
>>77723549
>>77723557
Went with Rossi, thanks for the advice. Thought about removing RHR and getting Dixon and Kimball/Jones maybe even Gutierrez but decided to play safe. Dunno how well the Chevy of Chaves would fare this year.
These trees right outside the track are aesthetic as fuck
Oh man, miller and kanaan at the state fair. Wish he'd taken Alonso, that would be something to see

>>77724104
Sweet release
>>77724128
but the track is really cool
>>77724100
He could, It's amazing what adrenaline can do. I remember Newgardens crash at Texas last year where he climbed out of the car on his own power then immediately collapsed
>>77724045
These days, Laguna Seca would produce the same kind of racing Sonoma does.
It would be redundant, the track management is a mess, partly owned by the local government or something, and noise ordinance.
>>77724045
Lots and lots of legal bullshit because Laguna Seca is technically a state park that can only be permitted to have so many "Festival" dates.

How I remember the gears get set for Indycars on Ovals is the first 3 are get up to speed gears with 4th as a Fuel Mileage/Headwind gear, 5th as the running alone gear and 6th as the Slipstreaming/Tailwind gear.
>>77724773
It's a legit caution for debris though, not a "Bunch up the field for TV" one like NASCAR used to do.
>everyone in the pits
Rossi keeps the lead.
If he wins, it will be a Goodyear in Firestone land.
Is Rossi's sponsor just "The Military" this race?
>>77724834
This caution was in the window for fuel & tire stops.
Also:
>Chilton
>>77724790
Rolling for dead spic.
>>77724834
It would be silly to have to put under green, lose a lot more time and you gain no time over the field by staying out.
A car would be betting on another consecutive caution period, but they'd still have to pit and arrive behind the field anyway, but pick up a few laps extra of fuel.
What the fuck just happened
>>77724911
>rip guti
>>77724889
Huh. I guess it is. I'm uh, not sure that's an actual sponsor...

>>77725276
News to me. Most companies are shying away from NASCAR because the amount of money to even sponsor a car part-time is more than an entire 2-Car Indycar team's budget.
>>77725295
Root for Charlie "Pinball" Kimball.
>>77725295
Well he could still root for Jack Hawks-
Oh wait

Took me a moment.
>>77725325
A good 1-Car team is like $6 Million. A 4-car team like Penske is around $15-20 Million.
An NASCAR Cup team, depending whether they build or buy chassis & engines and how many cars being run, can be up to $50-65 Million.

sato in 17th. exactly where he wants to be, he's got this race by the balls. everyone up and down pit lane are trembling right now, seeing how easy this will be.
So I did just think about it, Rossi has two extra laps of fuel in the tank.
If there is a caution, Rossi will get out of the pits sooner because of less fueling time.

webm of Hinch saving that fucking car please
>>77726264
Aleshin's save during Qualifying for last year's 500 was the one I remember. Townsend Bell has had a couple of really nice saves at Indy over the years too.

carpenturd needs to retire
is there a reason for doing burnout when going out of pit stop ?
heating the tires ?
Savaadra smooshes the #7
>saaaaaa-vedra
CAWSHUN
Maybe Alotion's car is cursed
SHOULD'VE KEPT ALESHIN
>>77726360
He needs to let Spencer Pigot drive full-time and just run the ovals in a third car IMO.
>>77726377
Yeah, it's to heat up the tires because Indycar doesn't use Tire Warmers.
Also, lol at fuccboi Saavedra.
welp newgarden just got screwed by the caution
>>77726377
To avoid stalling.
These cars have pitiful antistall and they produce almost no power at low RPMs.
>>77726377
I think it does warm the typres, and eaiser to just nail it more than enough, than to try to feather the throttle for a perfect launch, risking stalling the car.
>Saavedra
>colombians still defend him
Fucking indio from Congolombia.
>>77726409
good he's a villain now
>>77726377
heating ties but also they need to do it because the way the gears are set up, it would be really slow leaving the pits without breaking traction
>>77726409
Is he fugged?
I need him to take the championship.
>>77726406
>>77726413
>>77726415
>>77726429
ok thanks guys
>>77726430
all the other leaders were already on pitroad when the caution came out, newgarden hadn't stopped yet so he'll have to stop now. His car is good enough though that he'll be able to work his way back up easily.
>"Marco's been struggling all weekend long."
I feel like we hear that every weekend...
>>77726466
>Marco has been struggling his entire career after his first two years
>Sato in the same position despite pitting late
IT'S HAPPENING
>>77726466
We've heard that since 2010 at the least.
>sato back to 15th after pits
everyone else just go home. it is so obvious how this will end now, he literally let the caution happen before he pitted just to give everyone an extra sense of security.
>>77726466
Every race, every season
bt ads are funny

all keks
Its insane how much better the coverage and commentary is for this than for NASCAR
I'll be at Gateway, I'm excited.
>>77726526
Indy has been with NBCSN for a while now, it can only get better with time.
What happened to Sato after Detroit races? Wasn't he like 2nd in standings?
Was he just unlucky, underperforming or back to his usual self?
>>77726545
As much as I like Sato, he's kinda bad at his job. There's days when he performs well, but then he crashes or ends up in the back.
>>77726545
Back to his usual inconsistent self.
The guy is not someone I would consider a good driver, but he does show flashes of talent occasionally.
>>77726545
some crashes, lots of mediocre races which I think mirrors what all his team has had.
>>77726541
ESPN here could be way better if they had no ads, or at least side-by-side like NBCSN
please remember that Sato is still the best placed Andretti driver in the standings and this is exactly how it was planned from the start. In 50 years Indy nerds will be studying how expertly his 2017 championship happened.
>>77726449
You're welcome.
2018 cars looks are way overrated desu. better than these current cars though
>>77726566
>>77726573
He makes up for his lack of experience relative with guts. Helio has been racing in IndyCar longer than Sato's been racing cars despite being the same age.
>Dicks on is recovering
Man, fuck that fag.
>>77726614
Oh yeah? What elements exactly will the studies' target be?
The leader curse strikes again
>"AJ's not here this week he ran over some trees and hurt his leg."

>>77726545
Sato is the kind of driver where if the car is good and he doesn't feel like he has to push it, he's fast & consistent. When there's pressure on him to perform, you get pic related.
Also BIG JUAN.

ALOTION'S CURSE STRIKES AGAIN

>>77726700
Eh, they're certainly less draggy at least.
200mph trap speed at Road America is very likely next year.
Will Indy ever race at Daytona?
>>77726723
i haven't seen checklist/bingo in like 5 years here
>>77726800
it would be another Las Vegas '11
but a very fun one
>>77726809
I know. I miss it.
>>77726800
death
>>77726800
no, nascar would never allow it
>>77726800
Nah, if you wanted to see 250mph average lap speeds, that'd be an easy place to do it.
>>77726809
Dude checklist guy was active as recently as last year.
>>77726800
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAC_Daytona_100
>>77726800
No way. You'd get accidents that look like iRacing.
>>77726800
The 24h layout maybe. Even that might be too sanic fast.
>>77726854
>>77726809
>>77726823
BTW I love that guy.
>>77726800
not a chance Napcar would want people to see another series' cars go 65 mph faster on their home track
Pesky Penske's confirmed.
Does indycar need a Kyle Busch? Everybody's too damn likeable.
meanwhile in 9th place
>>77727054
Pls no
>>77727054
Scott Dixon's the closest one we got.
>>77726809
>>77726854
>>77726895
He was very good at predicting winners.
>Gabby Chaves
>"Competitive Drone Pilot"
Fucking KEK
>>77727054
They had one in Sage Karam, but then Trackforum got him fired.
Dixon needs to not be leading the points after today.
Who made a pit stop at the restart?
>Sato up to 7th
HERE WE FUCKING GO
>>77727054
>Krylel in Indy
>>77727092
In terms of constant winning, yeah.
In terms of being an unlikable car babby? not even close, desu.
Will power pre-aerokit era is a closer fit imo. But I've come around on even him. He's pretty damn funny and always shits on himself when it's his fuckup.
>Rahal and Kanaan keep trading 1st
This restart, lads. Wew
>>77727054
>captcha: FAST School
Pray for Rossi to win.
>>77727119
Absolutely Karam is a meme, but he's my guy anyway.
>>77727157
It was gonna happen this year, but either Joe Gibbs or Toyota put the brakes on it like a week before the official announcement was going to happen.
>>77727218
\o/ \o/
What's the fuel window here?
>latin american commentators hating on the Napcar stage system
>>77727054
What about Rahal?
>Never did anything remotely relevant in his carreer but acts like some kind of big shot
>Only got where he is because of his father
>Whines all the time, blames other drivers whenever he fucks up
>>77727229
Actually officially giving my energy to RHR
Nobody's been less deserving of the JUST year he's had.
>>77727248
27 to 31 i think
>>77727264
Has to be more than that because DIxon's been out 32 laps at this point.
>>77727251
you forgot
>wife is the bread-winner
>>77727220
Having talked with him casually online and off, he's pretty sensitive about stuff and is kind of a contradiction to his perceived public persona.
>>77727251
He's won more races than Marco and came closer to winning the title with the shitbox Honda had two years ago than anybody thought possible.
>>77727251
If he was at Penske or Ganassi he'd be the PERFECT fit, agreed. But he's at an overachieving single car team, so he can't really be a car babby, even though he's whiny as fuck and shits on his team all the time.
>>77727251
Graham Rahal and Chase Elliott need to duke out a race between the two. Too bad IROC doesn't exist anymore.
>>77727251
He has finally shown something these past 2 years.
He isn't even close to Marcotier.
>>77727054
>rahal
>marco
both shitters who wouldn't have careers if not for their surnames
Hello rising
Who /anyone but Dixie/
>>77727251
>as many wins in the last 3 seasons as Hunter-Reay, Hinchcliffe, Kanaan, and Castroneves combined
>>77727339
Same. Anyone but him or Gutierrez. The other spics are fine, I guess.
why are the other drivers even trying? Sato has this..
Bobby and Little Al's lead changes at the 1990 Michigan 500 https://youtu.be/IMuewsZBRE0
All these lead changes!
>>77727318
Graham's finally starting to get wins and race hard though. All Marco does is beat himself up mentally over every little goddamn thing that might be his fault and throw lavish parties to numb the pain that he'll never be as good as his dad, let alone his granddad.
>>77727339
I'm in.
>>77727379
>implying gutierrez is a threat
He hasn't even gotten a top ten or lead a lap, m8
>>77727360
How does it feel to watch races live on Monday morning?
>I'm you but I look like a nonce
Dicks in is in
>>77727407
Graham needs to embrace the 80's trucker hats and pedo stache.
come on newgarden get back to the fuckin front already
>Pagenaud in the back of the pack
>>77727407
>TFW Rahal looked like that when he was still a kid trying to get to F1
I think TK smells blood
Crash soon
Fucking Dixon can't win.
He's too good.
>rahole has fans
>clean clit
>we're almost at the bump limit
Man, indy threads have gone a long way this year.
>>77727518
Some races do better than others.
mmm fuck yeah slide jobs for everyone
>>77727518
the only good american racing left
maybe IMSA BoP series next year too
>>77727518
>500 mile race
Theres your answer
>>77727457
>Player's Navy Cut discontinued last year
100 Miles left to go boys
>>77727518
Longer races usually have more replies and ovals generally do better than road courses unless it's a meme race like Detroit.
>>77727518
It's a 500 mile race
seems like the chebbies are getting better mileage than the hondas
>>77727560
Which really just rides the coat tails of Indy.
Wait, wtf how is Power in the lead?
>>77727575
The whole damn sport only exists to fill the Indy 500 field nowadays, so that doesn't surprise me.
>bad guys winning
>>77727561
>>77727560
>>77727518
I don't have any good Indycar pictures on this computer so one of y'all is going to have to make the new thread.
>nbc acting like something crazy happened
>turns out they just forgot that Power hadn't pitted yet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BRv9wGf5pk
>>77727616
he went way off the typical pit strategy because he was behind anyway
>>77727644
but he did tho
>>77727575
Why is Indycar following THE RACE with 2 at Detroid? Is it just because they can do 2 there? Surely another oval, maybe even 500mile, would be better in attracting fans and having them stick after Indy500.
>>77727616
I think he made a stop under yellow
peepee
>>77727627
No need to, /sp/ is going to be slow as fuck until the NFL starts and we aren't reaching page 10 anytime soon. Also there isn't much left until the checkered
JOSEF IS RISING
>>77727668
When does he have to pit? (Lap estimate)
>penske car has aero "damage" and gets new parts
>suddenly setting fastest laps
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>77727686
this
Just take the post race discussion back to motor/sp/ort
Someone crash please
>>77727679
A Michigan 500 mile race right after the Indy 500 would be fucking awesome.
I agree, for recognition, it would make sense.
Detroit is Roger Penske/Chevrolet's brain child and Indycar is contractually obligated to have 16 races, so they race twice at Detroit to be sure.
