>Dawson and his son, Simon, formerly of Risi Competizione, have secured sponsorship from Hasbro for the newly named D3+Transformers Racing Team.

>The popular Transformers franchise will serve as primary sponsor for the team’s three-year program in IMSA’s top prototype class. Drivers and its car choice have yet to be announced.

>Take it from Brazil's Victor Franzoni, the kid who just won the Pro Mazda championship, who summed up the MRTI's value in 18 eloquent words: "Mazda is not just giving the prize money in the Mazda Road to Indy, they are giving hope."
>The 21-year-old Sao Paulo product is following in the footsteps of countryman Tony Kanaan, who chased similar opportunities with empty pockets before Franzoni was born. Working 60-70 hours a week as a race car mechanic, Franzoni's busy life outside his Juncos Racing Pro Mazda chassis was dedicated to earning the income required to pay for Cooper tires and entry fees to vie for the title.
>With his father at his side, the two spent the season perfecting the art of finding the cheapest hotels, where they shared a single room, and ate at the least expensive restaurants. Unburdened by wealth, Franzoni channeled his inner Kanaan, who slept on shop floors and lived below the poverty line while trying to move up the open-wheel ladder, and was duly rewarded last weekend for demonstrating his immense natural talent.

Lots were sandbagging in practice. Possibly even Qualifying as anyone who's already locked in the chase likely won't want to be near the clusterfucks when it all kicks off the third stage. Everyone else is Checkers or Wreckers. 12th is safe to start from and the car seems to be fast but that Jones Boy is in 8th and may have the fastest car. Seemed to be the favourite from the beat writers. Kenseth is on pole but the JGRs have been inconsistent in finishing runs all season and Kenseth has to beat Clint Bowyer who gets bad fast on the end of a run. Might come down to a straategy call.
>YFW it happens again

>>78146634
All Kenseth has to do is get more points than either Chase or McMurray.
Those three are racing each other while you've got guys like Logano, Jones and Bowyer needing the win.

I'm sure they'll be falling over each other to take advantage of those special rules to brand their cars in a category that already has no restrictions on making new bodywork or branding cars.

I don't think anyone has even noticed that Dome could theoretically chuck a GT500 engine in the back of the S103 with Honda funding next year and Nissan could now sponsor a team to use the Cosworth V6 in a customer chassis.

Hah. Hillarious Follow up to the Smithfield going to SHR. Apparently it's not Amirola. It might be Danica as the main car and sharing with Bowyer. Also Kurt may be leaving but staying close to Haas and being replaced with Kenseth in the 41 (As Kenseth is likely taking DeWalt with him and should make the difference between that and Haas CNC without Monster). Also the shitstorm was because Smithfield didn't like a lot of RPM's ideas for the 43 driver as they might shuffle Amirola to a new 55 with a new sponsor and put Bubba Wallace in the 43. Bubba's a decent driver and works well doing the sponsor gigs but he's terrible at shilling them. That's why Smithfield wanted out.

lots of drivers still come over though or at least openly consider it when they see their chances in F1 die, this is an odd statement.

>>78208445
wish is was JEV instead but this is fine

>>78209417
Yeah, Vergne would have been the better option than a former Champ Car guy who never ran an oval.
Certainly a more popular Frenchman.

>>78209656
Gommendy does have the major positive of grabbing a podium for Jackie Chan at Le Mans.

>>78209343
Not really though. Yeah they say they will consider it because they don't want to refuse any possibility of getting paid to drive but it's only a real consideration for North Americans and South Americans that have a much harder time getting into F1 these days. The only Europeans in IndyCar this year are Bourdais who came over back when CART drivers got F1 rides, Pagenaud who is autismo for IndyCars and came over 11 years ago, Chilton who literally can't get a solo ride in Europe anymore, and Jones who got brought along with Carlin when he couldn't get a full season in Euro F3. You have Dixon who is the only internationally relevant Kiwi racing driver since Bruce fucking McLaren and came in even earlier than Bourdais, Sato who came because it's the only non-Japanese series he can race a Honda, and Power who came over 12 years ago. There's no recent overseas drivers except the most desperate of desperate.

The South Americans all come to Pro Mazda now and come up as American drivers because South American racing is currently fucked and they can't get to Europe. GUT is just a hispanic RSI with more money, Mexicans are no more noteworthy than Canadians.

>>78209938
you don't count Rossi? he spent his entire career in europe until his F1 future was certain.

>>78209993
That's like saying Hue V8s is a serious internationally appealing series because they have Barichello, Zonta, and Pizzonia.

>>78209938
Why do you imply it is a bad thing that these guys have been in the series for a long time? Isn't it good that good drivers are staying? I'd certainly rather have 40 year olds like Sato and Bourdais than have a rotating door of guys like Neel Jani and Robert Doornbos 15 years ago

>>78210446
I didn't. I'm just saying that someone who has been in IndyCar for 15 years is no indication of how interested overseas drivers are in entering the series now.

Its decent. Racing feels good since the AI races like a NASCAR pack now and will block, defend and take lanes. Career mode is grindy in you have to earn your stripes, though.

Spencer Pigot has been moved by ECR to the #21 car next year. Great news there.

This means that JR has likely got the boot. Kind of a shame, but JR was in the hot seat and needed better results this year.
Special Ed Carpenter is looking for a part time road course driver for the #20 now.

:( jr

Zach Veach taking over Sato #26 Andretti Autosport ride next season

So basically at this point at SHR

Danica is leaving the 10, and Kenseth isnt taking the 10
Kurt wont be resigned by SHR for his current money, but of he takes less money, Haas will continue as sponsor

Does Smithfield sponsor the 14 next year? Do we think SHR is trying to angle in some Smithfield money to the 41?

Is the 10 just shutting down?

>>78239366
Krut could use this sabbatical as an opportunity to drive whatever he has wanted, but never had the chance to.

>>78117018

Pushing pedals is not a sport.

>>78239494
you only have so many years at your peak. Kurt's money making years are limited, and he has a new trophy wife, and his old trophy wife (eva) took all his money before.

I think he comes back to NASCAR next year. He needs the money

Dean Stoneman is a Brit looking to get back to America's Indycar series.
He had good outings/victories in Indy Lights and had won the F2 Championship in 2010(not to be confused with the modern 2017 F2 Championship)

Stoneman had testicular cancer years ago, he has both his stones as I'm aware.
>>78239663

Or the 10, or the 14.

>Is the 10 just shutting down?
Good question. We know Krut can't drive unless he takes a pay cut, which he doesn't want to do. We know Bowyer was only signed to drive the 14 for one year. We know Danicrash is finally out. We know Almirola will not be driving the 43 next season, so maybe he will drive for SHR and bring his Smithfield money with him.

Of the 4 drivers currently running at SHR, it would seem that only Kevin Harvick is guaranteed to return to his seat in 2018.

>>78241493
Clint will stay. Tony likes him and wants a vet in the team and for the first year Ford. He was unlucky as fuck not making the playoffs. Harvick's guaranteed for next year but he seems like next year or 2019 will be his last season as he's been doing more broadcasting lately and he's got a second kid coming. Kurt will probably go but Gene Haas thinks the world of him and he already took a paycut to go to SHR after he nearly washed out of NASCAR. So he'll likely stick around the operation as a driver coach or possibly be hired for the F1 team (He did private testing at Abu Dhabi earlier in the year for Haas F1) and that experience could be valuable for Haas F1. Gene Haas has said Cole Custer hasn't been producing the results he needs to move up to cup. So he's probably never going to do it unless he gets a better car.

Kasey Kahne talked about doing a multi series schedule as a possibility for next year if he doesn't secure a ride.
His schedule would consiste of NASCAR, the Indy 500(and other Indycar races that interest him), sprint car, and maybe some sports car.

>>78247210
There's no way Krut starts on Haas F1 team.
He could be a test driver there at best, but even then you want a driver who can give good feedback for a car that is completely different than what he has driven all his life.

>>78247334
>There's no way Krut starts on Haas F1 team.

Driver isn't their issue anyway. Regardless, that's not going to happen. Hopefully Krut is just shopping around for the cash he wants and will still be able to drive for SHR if he can't find anything else. I don't see anyone offering him more money, though.

Helio's move to Penske's IMSA DPi program may not be as set in stone as previously believed.
It seems Chevrolet wants the current Penske lineup to stay since they're the only team that's delivering wins while Honda has Ganassi, Andretti, SPM, and even DCR delivering.

https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/castroneves-indycar-departure-not-a-done-deal-952591/amp/

Was it a done deal months ago?
Probably, but given his competitiveness, desire, drive, and interest among involved parties, it is entirely possible he stays with Penske's Indycar program for another year.

>>78250091
For my own speculation:
I think, if he does stay with Penske in Indycar, it will be to evaluate whether his competitiveness slumps in the lower DF, much lower drag 2018 car that will be more difficult to drive than the current huge DF, enormous drag car.

Never said he'd drive but F1 teams do bring in experienced drivers from other disciplines like WRC, MotoGP and Endurance in a consulting role from time to time. Kurt was already on the pitbox in Baku 2016 with Gene Haas. I could see him take a role in the org as an all round driver coach with a few excursions in Endurance.

Empty seats so far:

10 - About fucking time. I think she realizes she's not competitive
43 - Maybe Bubba?

With Smithfield going to SHR, does that increase the odds of Almirola taking the 41 or 10?

Is Hendrick going to stop running the 5, or loan it out? Chase will run 9, Byron will run 24, Bowman runs the 88, and Jimmie stays in the 48.
