2023 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix

[FLRacingFan]

That’s an embarrassing one.

 

[Hikaru Kitsune]

I hope this isn’t the part where it gets stupid.

Robb may want to start looking at other career paths.

Narrator : "It was."

Graham

 

[Greg]

Power

 

[StandOnIt]

Power, street fighting man

 

[FLRacingFan]

Power has pulled off that dummy three times today already. Fantastic move.

 

[gnomesayin]

Not enough for a blocking penalty call there.

 

[West]

That straitaway looks like a roller coaster.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Just tuned in, didn't watch practice and based on the comments of you all before the race I was surprised there were already 60 laps completed.

This track is about twice as wide as Nashville.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That straitaway looks like a roller coaster.

Someone this weekend likened parts of the track to Supercross whoops.

McLaughlin and Grosjean seem to find each other on track very often.

 

[West]

Some great passing moves

 

[gnomesayin]

Some of this minor contact could have panned out much worse, but this has been really racey and not embarrassing. Much better than some other street circuit attempts.

Didn't Detroit have a very nice track years back?
** Belle Isle now that I remembered it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Parts of this track kinda look familiar to me. Wasn't the old F1 layout in Race Driver: Grid?

 

[Doc Austin]

I hope this isn’t the part where it gets stupid.

It's been stupid for awhile. Que up the twilight zone theme.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Grosjean has been so quick this year but just can’t quit making mistakes.

 

[West]

Andretti has to let go of RG, the guy is just too expensive.

 

[gnomesayin]

You're telling me that Dixon just experienced bad luck and Rossi good luck? That can't last.

 

[Hikaru Kitsune]

Another Rick Ware Racing Yellow.

 

[Tony_K]

Sting Ray

 

[gnomesayin]

This is starting to look more like a Saturday night short track oval race the way it's being raced up front. The cautions at the back are wearing thin though.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Likely not Sting Ray's fault this time.

And who's that guy in the Power shirt they're showing all the time?

 

[FLRacingFan]

A guy named Sting Ray being successful would be cool for the sport but he’s gotta be having one of the worst individual IndyCar seasons I’ve ever seen.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Zak Brown has to be pissing himself.

 

[Tony_K]

Good job Rosenqvist!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Likely not Sting Ray's fault this time.

And who's that guy in the Power shirt they're showing all the time?

Flavor Flav, rapper.

 

[West]

Looking forward to Palou in F1 next year

 

[FLRacingFan]

Despite all the doomerism that was a much better race than I, and many others, were anticipating. Really hard-fought street fight with a lot of ballsy passing. Not as crashy and chaotic as I thought either, mostly stupid single-car stuff.

 

[donthaveanickname]

For a track with lots and lots of 90 degree turns, this one didn't put on too bad racing.
Palou is looking great this year, that gap in the championship standings is gonna be tough to close.
Glad to see no team orders at McLaren.

 

[West]

For sure, great race, made up for that F1 snoozer.

 

[donthaveanickname]

For sure, great race, made up for that F1 snoozer.

I agree that this one was good but F1 was one of the Top 3 Barcelona races I have seen.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Looking forward to Palou in F1 next year

Has it been confirmed he'll be racing in IndyCar for McLaren next year? Wouldn't be surprised if some F1 teams are watching him closely.

 

[SneakySwede]

Marty Snider definitely gonna dig in on the teammate drama

 

[West]

McLaren Indy car would be a step down from Ganassi I would think.

 

[SneakySwede]

Strange take for Scott Mclaughlin… he felt the 28 took some track away from him??

Scott wasn’t even with him until the 28 entered the corner

 

[Marcingak]

Just gotta say the Indycar website is absolutely terrible. The top story is Palou winning the Pole. If you want to see who won the race you have to scroll all the way to the bottom.

 

[Doc Austin]

Grosjean has been so quick this year but just can’t quit making mistakes.

That's kind of why he flamed out of F1.

 

[Doc Austin]

Looked like Scott simply rear ended him.

 

[Doc Austin]

Sorry about the previous doomerism!

It was better than I was expecting too, but then again I wasn't expecting much. I was impressed the carnage was as limited as it was.

I still thought it was awful. The place looked like a dump. I get it they want races with the "charm" of Monoco, but this place really fell short......badly.

 

[SneakySwede]

Looked like Scott simply rear ended him.

Thats what i saw too.

I did a double take listening to scotts post race… he ended up trying to say 28 didn’t leave him enough room
