where is the ovale?

>>78022128
no more ovals this season for indy

if you want to see an oval watch the NASCAR race taking place after this one

>>78022128

But stick around for what will almost assuredly be a KINO Watkins Glen race.
Wet race and Indycar drivers go together like oil and water.

Red flag

Shit

>>78022220
what an anticlimactic end the lights season wew

Fucking Killnan 'fan favorite' threw a temper tantrum because he crashed his car and Chip wouldn't let him waste team money.

So glad that fuck has no car next year.

Hello
What level of performance are the Indy Lights comparable to? Formula 2?

>>78022694
basically yes
to put it like a college sat

indy lights is to indycar as F2 is to F1

This Telitz kid is good. Cool under pressure.

>>78022694
F2 are probably a bit quicker, but Lights have to run ovals cheaply too

>>78022694
Indycars have ~750hp while indy lights have ~500hp, chassis are ~1500lbs. So indycars are slower than f1 but faster than f2, but lights are slower than f2. indy chassis are spec (dallara) to control costs.

>>78022694

F2 is about as fast as indycar, pound for pound. F2 cars have 4.0 Liter V8s running 620 horespower or so. Indycar runs a 2.2 liter turbo V6 with anywhere from 550 to 700 horsepower depending on boost.

F1's performance is still absolute king. No idea on horsepower numbers since it's all so secret and they are hybrids, but they can do 330kph with a medium downforce setup and pull almost 6g's in turns.

Indy Lights are awesome thought because they are really cheap.

>Formula One's feeder series is faster than America's premiere series

How long until race guys?
1 hour or 2?

>>78022938
I think Super Formula is on par with IndyCar or approaching it, too

Guys to watch today:
Sebastian Bourdais
Josef Newgarden
Alexander Rossi
Scott Dixon

Bourdais is a good driver in the rain. It's his first road course back in the car and he'll be chomping at the bit.

Josef is our Points Leader right now. The prospective champion can't afford any mistakes, BUT he also can't afford to finish behind Scott Dixon in either of these last two races.
Alexander Rossi is our pole sitter. Rainy Conditions will throw everyone for a loop, he's not concerned about points so much as a win.
Scott Dixon, another year and another championship he's contending for. His main goal, like Newgarden, is to finish ahead of all of his championship competitors.

Buckle up gents, should be a great race.

Indycars today are about as fast as F1 cars from 2014.

Use that for reference, 2014 was a slow season for F1.

>>78022938
F1 and Indy are about the same HP but F1 is lighter, better brakes, and has hybrid boost up to ??? More hp.

They also cost 10x as much and maybe half truly perform at a level higher than Indy.

I hope this will be more exciting than todays F1 race.

Pretty substantial difference.

>>78024104
>this means that it hasn't had a large effect
The Founders were enlightenment thinkers, many of them believed in a God who was a hands off architect.
Disdain for religion is very much rooted in Marxism and postmodernism, which ironically enough was created through the evolution of the counter enlightenment in Germany designed to save the German Christian culture.

how did mah boy Urrutia did in Indy Lights?

>>78024110
would be cool desu, and always plenty of european drivers but im not sure they are very known over there

Russia defeated Germany, not the Allies.

It was Russia's military, not Marxism, that defeated Germany.

Communism proceeded to kill 100+ million people, starve their populations, and destroy the countries at large.

>>78024265

Russia's Military was literally built and fought for marxist beliefs

Marxism won ww2, no matter how much you don't want to admit it

I'm not very religious.
I just don't understand how you can't see the benefits religion has afforded every single population, tribe, and nation.
It depends on the religion obviously, but Europe would all be Muslim if the first crusade had failed, Christianity offers a rallying point.

>>78024212
Marxism and atheism was the reason Hitler came to power

>>78024351

Hitler was a devout christian, you dumbfuck

>text x number to give $10 to a charity for houston
I assume that means only about $2 actually gets where it needs to, because inevitably there will be some Jews towards the top who need to be paid

The Salvation Army makes most efficient use of its donations with the least overhead of any charity. They actually help people in the streets every day, unlike The Red Shekels

it's sad that us normal people are forced to donate to houston solely because drump and his republican cronies try to suppress as much federal aid money as possible so that the top 1% can get massive tax cuts

Glen Dogs are gonna go bad. :(

Engines fired!
>>78024607
Kek, yeah.
The "shield" was scrapped in F1 due to politics rather than engineering solutions to its two problems.
1. The disorientation that occurs with a curved screen at such an extreme angle.
2. The low pressure pocket of air it creates in the cockpit that pushes the drivers head forward.

Indycar has been developing its screen with Lockheed Martin who makes the F16 canopies.

Sad to see those half filled grandstands.

>>78024708

It was the $80 GA ticket.

Watkins priced themselves way too high.

Road America's Entire Weekend ticket was $100 for a long while.

Everyone will pit basically immediately

next time I go to the us would it be worth going to an indycar race, are they good spectacles from track side, and most importantly, how is the food they have around the track?

>>78024802

Yeah, Watkins Glen & Sonoma are up there in prices. Shit, it's like up to $75 for a grandstand seat, let alone for something up in Turn 2 or the backstretch there.

>>78024991
That's not -quite- right. They have a team of stewards to decide penalties like F1 but Barnhart is the race director like Charlie Whiting so he's responsible for shit like when they ran 5 laps with a huge chunk of wing sitting in the middle of the front straight at Phoenix last year.

>>78025111
>Did he

The electronics shouldn't allow him to do it, and I don't think he did anyway.
Electronics probably fucked up, which is why it went to 1st gear when it shouldn't have.

For me, it's Dancing with the Stars champion Helio Casto-neves

>>78025148

Fuck me. I'm amazed he hasn't fucked up harder this year.

Fucking kek, listening to it all the way through. The hard limiter failed.
>>78025153
Yep.

>By losing, he won

Fuck, Newgarden is falling back.

>>78025190
The hard limiter only keeps the engine from spinning itself up, not from being spun by the transmission

>>78024886
If all you're after is the abominations, get to texas. As a racefan, you'll enjoy pretty much any indycar race you go to. As events, they vary a bit in quality. Of course the 500 is the race to go to if you have the chance, but as a tourist it'd be hard to argue against long beach or saint pete either. Can really enjoy a city at the same time as a race.

>Sato
Noooooooooooooo

This is just as planned, don't worry. Sato will win with ease now that the field has let its guard down.

>>78025353

I would. 9 time out of 10 I have been able to predict who was going to win the Grand Prix after watching qualifying. (Only the insanity of Baku broke my streak.)

It's just insecure Trackforum posters, m8

Didn't the track literally not change at all from the 80s to like 2010

RHR had an insane pitstop; too bad he's slow and just in the way of faster drivers

Josef back ahead of Dixon.

Fucking hell, Dixon got around Josef again.

>>78025594

He's going to crash before then, m8

Poor taku san

Who are you pulling for? Newgarden and Rossi are my boys, and while I respect Dixon I would prefer he not win the championship. Also I rate Pigot

>>78025616
Anyone but Newgarden, Pagenaud, RHR and Kimball.

Why is Marco legit? Didn't follow his logic

I think he just meant that it's a proper pass for position, even though Marco is going to pit eventually.

How did the foyt cars go from the top 10 to last?

>>78025647

Oh right, him too:
>>78025636
For memeing.

>>78025634
I think they are paid to say positive things about Marco. It didn't make sense since Marco is only up there by being off strategy like Pigot and the others.

The commentators keep talking about the penske cars running more downforce, can't they adjust the wings in the pits to trim the car out? It clearly hurting them right now.

>Pidgeotto in 1st

That big rain blob is going to hit the track right at the 2 hour mark

>>78025678
Takes time in the pits, they'd have to adjust rear wing angles as well.
Some pieces are also interchangeable with lower Downforce aero pieces.

>>78025679
You know there is a pokemon called Pidgeot that is closer to Pigot than Pidgeotto.
Just saying,

Alex had an unscheduled pit.

Everyone remembers the snake pit at Indy but no one remembers the bog :(

>>78025821
No, it was a muddy field were anarchy reigned and people would just go nuts destroying and burning shit. Pic related is why they shut it down, some Brazilians chartered a bus from NYC to the Glen and the bog nuts stole the bus and burned it during the 1974 US GP.

As expected of the master, Sato-dono

>this race direction

Sato spun, the fix is in at Andretti to get Rossi back to front.

>>78025849
Do you lads have any real arguments?
>I don't like this opinion, make it go away mommy

Sato spins, stops, waits for the caution, then guns it

Smart, or just typical Sato stuff?

>>78025452
Allow me to summarize all the changes to Watkins Glen since the boot was finished

>ay we put some more guard rails close to the track in the esses because reasons
>woops someone went under the guard rail and died in the esses, F1 says we need to put a chicane in and improve the guard rails
>let's take the chicane out and move the guard rail right back beside the track again because WE NASCAR NOW
>shit a NASCAR driver died and TK turned his legs to paste, let's put in a new chicane because we can't be arsed to make the runoff level
>haha time to make the curbs 2 car widths wide and completely flat to make the chicane 4th gear instead of 2nd gear and the following corner actually faster than it was before
>let's move the guard rail on the inside of the esses back again as if that does anything
>haha time to pave half the runoffs and not enforce track limits so people pile into each other rejoining the track at one of the fastest and narrowest areas
>oh hey we had a 20 car pileup and a guy do like 10 flips in the NASCAR race, I guess we'll slightly straighten that guard rail out
>haha time to pave all the runoffs then not enforce track limits so people pile into each other rejoining the track at the other fastest and narrowest area

There's still like 150mph entry corners with 3' of grass for runoff the same as they were in 1972. Which maybe you could pretend to excuse because "loltopography" and "lolbridges" until you look at the Earth moving work Le Mans is doing to eliminate the pinch point they had where the Porsche Curves go over a bridge

>>78025873

That's amazing. I miss the old school racing athmosphere. It's so corporate and controlled nowadays, especially in F1. F1 needs to go back to old school stuff like Watkins Glen, primitive shit instead of the ultra polished "glamorous" stuff they do nowadays. Obviously not gonna happen though.

>>78025944

Nah, more like represent them proportionate to their population size.
