2022 Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America

[FLRacingFan]

Simona de Silvestro makes her first road course start since 2015. Ilott was cleared to return as well.

 

[Kiante]

What a new contract does to the mind.

What a pole run from Rossi today.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I’d say definitely.

A 2011 Darian Grubb run from this team would be amusing.

Car in the fence in the Lights race. He's ok tho

 

[Speedbowl14]

Wow. Another curb launches a car. He destroyed the fence and 20 feet from spectators. I would expect that this delays the Indycar race later this afternoon. Lot of damage for a long length. Probably 15 poles destroyed.

I wish Simona could have been better. I was always rooting for her.

☹

What part of the track? There's several places in road America with no fence

They finished the fence repair 20 minutes before pace laps begin!

I guess I think differently than most people. While everyone else is excited about the start of the race- my mind wanders and I start to wonder who pays for the fuel that those jet use on all these IndyCar flyovers?

Ok. I'll be quiet.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I thought this was a 1:00 race? It's 12:57 and they're two lap and a caution in the books.

Depends on who owns the aircraft. If they're US military, you and I do.

 

[Hotrod]

These Pro Mazda guys are fun ........ oh wait.

 

[Speedbowl14]

What is Palau doing???

 

[Speedbowl14]

These Pro Mazda guys are fun ........

Sure looks like it. Who gave the ARCA drivers Indycars???

Ouch!! That's what I thought.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I'll be the first to say it.... time limit????

 

[Jimmy W1]

No offense but why is Chip Gannasi fooling with Jimmie Johnson?

 

[Jimmy W1]

Go Helio!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Phenomenal camera work on these restarts!

 

[Kiante]

Devlin... C'mon man.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Delvin... C'mon man.

Just ran thru him!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No offense but why is Chip Gannasi fooling with Jimmie Johnson?

He has a sponsor. Admittedly, that sponsor isn't as financially secure as when the season started.

 

[Kiante]

Palou has also learned mannerisms from Dixon, too.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Lol how are you mad Palaou????

 

[Speedbowl14]

Ah yes, indycar, where you can hit a concrete wall and continue but tire-tire contact puts you out of the race

 

[Speedbowl14]

Assuming it'll be 2 stop strategy now?

 

[Tony_K]

Frustrating race so far. Let's show your talent guys!

As far as the flyovers, I always figure these guys are taking daily flights anyway but I noticed it said they were from Tucson?!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Holy sh!t, a full lap under green!

 

[donthaveanickname]

DeFrancesco has no business being in IndyCar.

 

[Kiante]

Rahal in 19th with Lunguaard and Harvey in front of him.

Good, good.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Smokin' stop by the #2 team.

 

[gnomesayin]

They must be making up for last week.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Defrancesco making an impression. It's not a favorable one.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is pretty good now that they can keep it up out of the gravel traps.

Palou turned in. Weird to see him mad for once.

 

[Kiante]

Defrancesco making an impression. It's not a favorable one.

He's going to be an toss-around IMSA driver if he keeps this up.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Anyone else lose the network feed?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Wasn't expecting Simona to outrun Tatiana.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Holy hell, Pagenaud must be the first guy to ever go four wheels off at the kink and keep it out of the wall.
