2019 INDYCAR Grand Prix at Indianapolis

[Charlie Spencer]

10-4

Yeah, I see you on TV! The guy in the hat and T-shirt, right?

Hey, how wet is it?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Effectively 2nd-6th there covered by a blanket.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'm hoping they can avoid that, but it's dicey and interesting out there.

I'm not hoping for that to happen, either. I just think the rain will come in.

Haha, no I am not there. If I was , that is where I would try to be sitting.
Over hang always good during a high rain probability.
These standings are going to turnover a few times I believe.

What in tarnation got into Jack Harvey this weekend. No one chases Scott Dixon down from six or seven seconds back.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is Harvey gaining by burning up PTP?

EDIT: he's only used about 15 seconds in this chase!

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is just so much better than F1.
No hybrid and DRS bullcrap, no team orders, different strategies and lots of passing.

Pagenaud is down to only 17 seconds left already. Harvey 68, Dixon 79.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

TK on rains! Lap 55

It's cool that this race gets a network TV slot. Which I just realized, because I'm finally not watching on my phone while away from home. I tuned into NBCSN and thought ok, what third tier channel do they have the race on today?

The Indy GP is usually just okay, but this is definitely the most interesting of the six races here so far. Still wide open.

Builds an audience for NBC's first I500.

I think those are going to melt at this rate. Still seems like slicks are the best option.

20 seconds slower. Too soon.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Oh Helio noooooooooooo

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Didn't work for Helio either!

 

[gnomesayin]

They need to come up with a better solution to prevent The Danger Zone pit timing oddities than just delaying the caution until everyone has had a chance to pit. Come on guys, can we maybe realize what that will look like with a car sitting in danger's way and them delaying the yellow for a minute or more?

 

[be9ak7ts16]

I haven’t watched an Indy Car race in years. I have so much to catch up on.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'll try to stay up tonight, but Cup can't get better than this. Just not possible.

 

[Hotrod]

Yep , love a race with 20 or so to go and have no clue who is going to win.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Cup will have enough to do living up to last night's Truck race.

 

[JW1]

It's pouring down raining here now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The strategies are fascinating.

I advocate for a Code 60/VSC type of rule, but none of the head honchos in American series seem to want that.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Penske sure did bungle this one.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

20 laps and rain. Make me a fan again boys.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Any chance of going back green?

 

[donthaveanickname]

What are they waiting for?

 

[FLRacingFan]

What the hell is Kyle Novak doing?

 

[be9ak7ts16]

I thought they had rain tires.

 

[gnomesayin]

This is an awfully long caution period for a single car spin and stall.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Cup will have enough to do living up to last night's Truck race.

Still have watch that in re-live on my favourite illegal Russian weblog.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

And we’re off.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Helio was clear 10 laps ago.

 

[FLRacingFan]

A Foyt car on the podium?? What a pass by Leist on the outside.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not sure that chicane is optional lol.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Simon is the only guy running 1:21s. Best on the track.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Simon is the only guy running 1:21s. Best on the track.

Not enough time / laps / PTP left.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not enough time / laps left.

He needs to get around Harvey ASAP if he wants a chance. Another half-second quicker that last lap, but yeah, time is running out quickly.

 

[Hotrod]

Let Pag go Harvey !


……… ok don't, make a fool out of me !
