I think McLaren and Alonso getting bounced by a tiny team with no sponsors is certainly a bigger and more positive story for IndyCar then Alonso running 29th with a dog of a car (as evidence in this article) for 30 laps and then retiring after brushing the wall, when all is said and done.

No, they were talking about a driver getting into car at a place that WILL kill you for a tiny error in a car that was in the paint shed 4 days ago, with a setup he’s never tried from another team, with suspension and parts on the car hes never tried from another team, with a team with like 3 days of experience at the…

Provisionally is the key word. He ain’t in the field as of tonight, so I think it is an appropriate headline.

That was an incredible day to watch. I think Alonso gets in tomorrow (or Monday if it rains). My guess is Alonso, Hinch, and Karam make it. Chilton, O’ward, and Kaiser get bumped.

Or it’s in a metro area. You can’t get an 850sq ft condo in LA for $140k. Hell, you can’t get one for $400k.

Good for you bud, good for you. We are all so proud. We are clapping, actually.

The conditions are NOT going to be pretty for a lot of guys. The cars are going to be diabolical. If I’m not realistically looking at the Top 9, I’m going to add downforce. If i have to run for the last row on Sunday, so be it. Better than wrecking the thing.

I’m aware. The Tesla and Jag both use radiators at the front. I’m talking about an additional direct “air channel” style concept.

I’m not an engineer, but i doubt direct air cooling would be very effective compared to the baked in liquid cooling that both Jaguar and Tesla (and everyone else to some degree) use. Both the Jag and Tesla packs are super dense slabs in the bottom of the floor. I imagine whatever little benefit you could gain from…

A lot of rookies with wide eyes at Indy this year. Cars are diabolical compared to the 2017 aero kits it seems.

“But how fast it is and how narrow some places are, I don’t think it would be that exciting for overtaking – just my initial feeling.”

It wasn’t THAT long ago, 10ish years. It would still burn itself up until the Phenom days, I’m pretty sure.

You aren’t gonna fool me, that is very obviously a rebadged Kia Kona

“Good luck doing good things because bad things could still happen” is not an argument against doing good things.

Yeah, I don’t tolerate shit that sucks. Good looking out.

Actually he sucks shit.

Also worth pointing out that IndyCar ran at a street circuit in Sau Paulo up to 2013, and was actually trying to revive that race recently. Given the timelines involved here, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it is going to be repurposed and upcycled for F1.

No.
