Sorta like how Danica technically has to be a professional race car driver to get paid.

Was surprised with how good the lights race was. This might not be shit after all.

If they like short tracks so much, why not run Martinsville?

Townsend Bell is awesome, too. Great banter to set up some tension for the race.

NBC does a superb job with motorports broadcasting. Top notch.

>>77840697
It was, slightly tape delayed. Also livestreamed, weirdly.

It was a great race until Alberico #rekt himself on a Chad Boat. Still a great finish in the end, and more passing than i imagined.

Indycar generally stick to tracks around 3/4ths-7/8ths of a mile long for the really "Short" tracks (Richmond, Iowa, the old Sanair shithole up in Quebec).

Ovals are a lost cause and need to be deleted from Indycar. These dumbfucks are so used to running flat all the way around that when they have to actually let off the gas and downshift going into turns they crash like drooling retards.

Quick rundown of what's happened so far? I was out eating dinner.

>>77842773

That the race should never have happened because the car of that Era couldn't handle the track and Dan Wheldon is a Saint/Martyr for finally getting rid of pack racing once and for all.

>But what about Fontana 2015-

ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

>>77842790

Oh? Good for them. Santi needs to be in the car tonight instead of Fuccboi Saavedra.

>>77842793

Why is Formula E so popular then?

>>77842920
>Santi needs to be in the car tonight instead of Fuccboi Saavedra.

>Saavedra the spic in top 3

Tony Kanaan spun it into the wall on the warm-up lap, then Will Power choked on Turn 2 Lap 1 and collected Ed Carpenter & Takuya Sato.

The race since then has been single-file & strung ou, but at least the leader is fast enough to pass slower cars.

Not in a morbid way, Being at that race freaked me out for a number of reasons actually.
I mean in an I really believe LVMS could be a viable Indy race venue again way.
They race at Texas relatively almost safely.

*comfortably wins the Indycar Series Championship*

>>77843026

The biggest issue with LVMS was that the "Progressive Banking" job they did was really shitty, so much so that when you watch on-board laps in practice for that race you could see just how hard the drivers were having to keep the cars of that Era under control. Combine that with the fact that you had 34 Cas starting and over half of them were driven by rookies that had never even raced on ovals before and you've got a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Time for cawshun

>>77843246
It's not shitty if you actually use the entire track instead of riding the white line.

>Sato in charge of winning races

Holy fuck.

>>77843276

But even the NASCAR taxi cabs were having problems trying to run anywhere except between the white lines. That's why they had to re-do the surface again a few years ago.

Is not fair. He is young and has a promising career. He should suffer another 5 years like everybody else.

>>77843410
The track hasn't changed since 2011.

>>77843246
Judging by my eye watching them that day, the worst decision was the double file start.
The progressive banking made the fight for the bottom through through the turns impossible
especially 1 and 2
They were just locked side by side and everyone knew turn 1 lap 1 that something bad was about to happen. You could feel it in the crowd.
That's how I remember experiencing it.

>castroneves never will
>dixon will intentionally let helio finish 2nd in the points just to twist the dagger a bit

>>77843447
the fact that they were runing in red mist mode in the first 10 laps didn't help either

i remember at lap 9 when when briscoe and tagliani touched i sad "this is going to get ugly"

>>77843547
I think so, because they were just locked side by side lap after lap after lap Daytona/Talladega restrictor plate style
Everyone knew that it couldn't go on that way safely and then it happened.
Seeing Dan go into the fence like that, and the ball of fire, the crowd went silent.
Everybody knew someone had just died
