there are 5 oval tracks on their schedule. I can name 3 tracks off the top of my head that should host a race:

The simple fact that there are more than 1 oval track races in the indycar schedule proves to me they're trying to be a racing series theyre not. Indy 500 is the only exception because of its historical significance.

Let me know when Indycar is doing anything relevant to current motorsports tech.

slow news day?

I think this has been reposted at least 3 times now...

Can we collectively stop using the phrase "near miss"? It's such a horrible misnomer that it use annoys me to no end. If it was a "near miss" then there would have been an accident, no? Instead, use the phrase "close call" or "near collision". I'm not even trying to be funny... using near miss just makes you sound…

Who was dumber: the lady stopped in the left lane to round up ducks, or the bike rider with their 16 year old daughter on back doing well over the speed limit?

I will never understand the culture that exists on the internet that is so hell-bent on finding any and all faults in the victim of a freak accident so as to point fingers. Every time there's an accident, at fault or not, there are a MULTITUDE of things you could do differently to have avoided the incident. Thats why…

How is talking on speakerphone any different than talking to someone in the car?

Someone explain to me why this is even a thing?

I dont exactly think this was a serious comparison between the two. They're two completely different cars designed for two completely different purposes. Comparing them is purely for fun and entertainment.

Um. R8 and A8 arent even on the same chassis...

In fact, the two couldnt be any less related to each other, outside of the badging.

To be fair, the one performance stat Diesels excel at is torque. Gobs and gobs of limitless, sometimes pointless torque. Enough to stop the rotation of the earth, torque.

By my count, I had 86

This is fairly common. With the crumbling state of our road infrastructure nationwide, loose gravel and other road debris seem to be on the rise. I can't fault the guy for wanting to protect his paint over a long drive. Wouldn't you be pissed if you drove out of state, only to see your front end looked like it was hit…

WACKY WAVEY ARM FLAILING TUBE MAN!

Calling an internal combustion engine a MOTOR.

dont even get me started...

You can outrun a squad car, but you can't outrun the Internet.

I want to like this car... but of the 3 hybrid supercars to have come out, this ranks the last. It just lacks the striking supercar looks the others have.

Cry some more. Not Jalopnik's responsibility to censor thesmelves for the 5% at best viewers who had to record the race.

Tech definitely was listening to the radio and keeping an eye to make sure nobody was in the way of the car. Heads up and good work by the guy. I doubt they were "waiting" for Kimi to get out of the way...
