2024 Detroit Grand Prix

[FLRacingFan]

Couple of grid penalties for engine changes to the Hondas of Kyffin Simpson and Graham Rahal…earliest there’s been in a while. No one took their fifth engine until August last season.

Detroit grid penalties for two Honda drivers

Honda’s string of reliability woes with its NTT IndyCar Series engines in 2024 has hit two of its drivers at an unexpectedly early phase of the season. With the series’ engine lease and usage rules…

We’ve got practice beef.

We’ve got practice beef.

Too much drama for the starched shirts, apparently.

Too much drama for the starched shirts, apparently.

It seems like whenever there beef in IndyCar, either Santino or Grosjean or both are a part of it.

If tickets weren’t more expensive than the Indy 500 we would’ve went today. Should be Martinsville-esque racing out there today

 

[Kiante]

NXT race was solid.

Louis Foster wins, D'Orlando recovers to a top 10 after spinning and Rowe finishes 4th after starting 19th.

 

[Reck]

Is there a chance of rain? Looking dark out there.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Did she merge the anthems?

Very low. It’s one of those cloudy summer days in the Great Lakes

I hope not, or Kyle won't be able to make it to St. Louis in time.

Ha never mind. Sprinkles hit

 

[Hotrod]

This might be entertaining.

 

[Kiante]

Ha never mind. Sprinkles hit

It was raining near Romulus where the airport is, so it might be a slight drizzle or so. Who knows with the weather in MI?

 

[Speedbowl14]

Oh boy this could be fun...

Nice to see a race back home on the couch

 

[Reck]

Santino with massive road rage. lol

 

[Reck]

We’re going to see this a lot today. Pile up already.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Why are so many street and road courses designed with an un-navigable first turn?

 

[Blaze]

Why are so many street and road courses designed with an un-navigable first turn?

Yeah. That happens alot at road/street courses, no matter the series haha.

 

[2 Sweet]

I dislike Will Power simply because of his stupid name

Slap some wide right turns off trucks on them

 

[Blaze]

I dislike Will Power simply because of his stupid name

Hell, that’s part of why I like him myself. I love names like that, seems like something you see in wrestling

 

[Mispeedway15]

Yeah. That happens alot at road/street courses, no matter the series haha.

Best first turn in Indy without a doubt is Mid Ohio

 

[Reck]

Palou played himself.

But in Palou fashion, I expect him to be top 5 by the end anyway.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Tire strategies morphing like Power Rangers

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ferrucci making all kinds of friends this weekend

Ferrucci making all kinds of friends this weekend

You misspelled season

 

[Kiante]

Ferrucci making all kinds of friends this weekend

TIL that Townsend Bell is Ferrucci's manager.

 

[Reck]

Santino with the negative racing awareness.

His attitude is so **** too.

I was gonna say... definitely sounded like the crew is totally over his driving and Ferrucci took zero responsibility. That was definitely avoidable

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And there's the penalty

 

[Speedbowl14]

Maybe intermediate tires could be possible? Sprinkling more and more looks like a steady light shower

 

[Reck]

Oh wow. McLaughlin bins it from second.

 

[Reck]

Split strategies. Let’s go.

Getting spicy now.

 

[Reck]

Rainnnnnn

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I feel for people who don't like tire strategies. I'm eating it up.

 

[Reck]

No way Dixon stayed out.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Xfinity Daytona level insanity time

 

[Reck]

The extended caution is making things less exciting. The opportunity for true chaos is leaving.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Well, that's gonna be more than a three-position penalty for Will.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I feel for people who don't like tire strategies. I'm eating it up.

Okay, now IndyCar is just ****** with us.
