2023 Honda Indy Toronto

I was literally typing that this race is flying by due to lack of carnage, and then boom, it's Grosjean time.

Romain...

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Can they make it from here?

EDIT especially since Kirkwood punting Helio just gave them some more yellow laps?

Gonna need a couple more of these but it’s possible.

Don't try it again; Sting Ray is still out there.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This race just got flipped on its head for real. Wow.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Some really interesting strategy being called.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is gonna be good. Don't really understand the strategy by McLaughlin and Dixon. They're gonna need about 20 caution laps.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Kirkwood gets one penalty and then tries for a second.

Screw the strategies; Alex is just going to flat out pass them all regardless.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This race just got flipped on its head for real. Wow.

Palou will win this one, right?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Palou will win this one, right?

And I typed that before the restart.

 

[gnomesayin]

This is really feisty, good stuff.

I can't fathom how staying out will work for the front three, but we'll see.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Palou will win this one, right?

With a broken front wing, no less. I wouldn’t put anything past this kid at this point.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Kirkwood gets one penalty and then tries for a second.

And sure enough, second penalty for servicing the car while under penalty.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Lundgaard closing more than a tenth a lap. 1.2 down to 0.6

 

[FLRacingFan]

I’d like to see Lundgaard pull it off the most, first-time winner and it would be huge for RLL after such a tumultuous season so far.

There ya go! And the last of the front three just got out of the way.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ballsy pass around the outside on the current best in the business.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

WHY THE HELL AREN'T MORE PEOPLE WATCHING THIS ****???

 

[donthaveanickname]

Palou will win this one, right?

Maybe not!

 

[donthaveanickname]

WHY THE HELL AREN'T MORE PEOPLE WATCHING THIS ****???

Tbh IndyCar should have more viewers than NASCAR. It should have more than F1 as well.
Who cares these cars are 12 years old, the racing is awesome.

 

[Brentford]

WHY THE HELL AREN'T MORE PEOPLE WATCHING THIS ****???

If you aren't a big Indy Fan or don't know the schedule, you probably aren't watching this. I only use Peacock for WWE, so I definitely wouldn't know this race was on if I hadn't saw someone on here post that it was only on Peacock.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If you aren't a big Indy Fan or don't know the schedule, you probably aren't watching this.

Poorly phrased on my part. I meant why aren't more people watching this series, not this individual race. The guys deliver every stinkin' week.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Booth keeps hyping Power even as Lundgaard keeps pulling away.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Dixon back up to P9 after the strategy whiff. Has the benefit of running full rich at this point, wonder if he can get up to 6th or 7th.

 

[Brentford]

Poorly phrased on my part. I meant why aren't more people watching this series, not this individual race. The guys deliver every stinkin' week.

That makes sense. I'm just one person, but my reasoning is that I'm simply more of an oval fan. I know ovals aren't Indy's thing, maybe due to the speeds? But for that reason, I'll watch only if I don't have anything else to do and only if the race isn't happening at the same time as the NASCAR race is.

Would be great if they actually showed these battles.

 

[gnomesayin]

Dixon somehow all the back to 7th is impressive. Still question how he didn't lose more time than by pitting during the caution, but it's not as much of a calamity as it first appeared.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pato has been tanking despite pitting the same lap as Lundgaard. Some sort of fuel pickup/refueling issue.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I wouldn't stop for that front wing if it was flapping in my face.

 

[donthaveanickname]

How on earth is Palou still in 2nd? That wing is hanging on for dear life.

 

[gnomesayin]

Palou's wing situation looks like a reverse version of these.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hell yeah! That’s great to see.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Astonishing Palou finished 2nd despite pitting before the other contenders and having a broken front wing. Wth can’t this guy do?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The guys deliver every stinkin' week.

EVERY DAMN WEEK.

 

[gnomesayin]

EVERY DAMN WEEK.

It's been a great season even with Palou's dominance. Not sure what the answer is on the viewership / overall interest factor, but the the core fans have to be thrilled.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Completely flawless performance by Lundgaard and one helluva bounce back by RLL.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Wth can’t this guy do?

I think he's going to bypass the hauler and and drive the car back over Lake Erie.

 

[Kiante]

Palou has the Dixon horseshoe, I stg.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Palou has the Dixon horseshoe, I stg.

I hope he's comfortable because it appears to be lodged in place.
