There is our RWR caution.

Another Caution

 

[donthaveanickname]

The day they get these cars to restart with the hybrid system in 2023 will be one of the greatest days in series history.

Plus they're gonna have 900 hp. Can't wait.

 

[FLRacingFan]

8 cautions doubles the previous season high of 4 at Road America. Impressive stuff.

And this race will still be pooch screw.

New tracks mean new unknown, unknowns.

 

[gnomesayin]

Romahhhn.

And this race will still be pooch screw.

Better roads than in South Carolina, by far.

Potholes deeper than the Mariana Trench.

In the Carolinas, we keep our racing where it belongs - on facilities designed and built expressly for that purpose. Nobody schedules a race through Malfunction Junction, or over the Ravenel / Cooper River bridge.

 

[gnomesayin]

I think they can improve the course and it's hard to imagine as many boneheaded incidents in the future. Passing is clearly quite possible.

A decent run to the finish would help smooth over how awful a lot of the race has been.

I still like the concept of the track.

It's a massive learning experience for everyone. They literally watched the Baku GP a few times and was like, "We want that." It's the first new track in nine or ten years... It shows a lot, no data or anything to go off of.

The quality of racing will improve next season because all the teams will have an idea of what is being worked with.

Miles "vision" of Monaco is a lie.

 

[Reck]

They should have made a swap like 5 laps ago. Herta is going to eat them both alive.

 

[gnomesayin]

Herta doing a Chase Elliott on the field here.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

8 cautions doubles the previous season high of 4 at Road America. Impressive stuff.

 

[donthaveanickname]

There'd be nothing more fitting than Ericsson winning after going flying early.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is really impressive from Ericsson even if he gets passed by Colton eventually. No one else has had anything for the 26 guys the whole weekend.

 

[Reck]

Herta is his own worse enemy.

Would be interesting to understand why he has more straightaway speed given that he should be having to save more fuel than Herta.

 

[Mispeedway15]

This is hilarious. Ericsson went with lower downforce and can’t be caught over the bridge

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Now they've screwed the Cup race for me, and screwed up my DVR schedule for IMSA, for this fiasco.

Not a fan of crashfests though.

The announcers are under the impression that they trimmed out to be quickest over the bridge. If so, pretty impressive with how sketchy that must be over the narrow twisty parts.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

Herta's in the wall!

 

[Blaze]

WOW.

 

[Reck]

Now they've screwed the Cup race for me, and screwed up my DVR schedule for IMSA, for this fiasco.

They've always done that. It's never a good idea to watch a race after the one you just DVRed. Specially when it's basically the same team.

 

[gnomesayin]

Herta is his own worse enemy.

Dammit, called it.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Damn, Herta was the class of the field all weekend. Hate to see that.

 

[StandOnIt]

The walk of shame

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They've always done that. It's never a good idea to watch a race after the one you just DVRed. Specially when it's basically the same team.

Yeah, you'd think I'd learn...

 

[Reck]

Herta is his own worse enemy.

And he finishes the job himself.

I feel for him man. Experience counts for so much in Motorsports.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That one’s gonna sting for a while. Best car by far this weekend.

 

[Blaze]

Man, I feel so bad for him.

 

[2019PensekeFan]

That was a hard hit. Hate for him he was the class of the field.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Oh my

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dixon is gonna make up major points in the championship if this holds. He’s never out of it, he hangs around all year and pounces

 

[Mispeedway15]

Is Knoxville Iowa next?

As I said earlier. This is Knoxville Truck Series level bad

 

[gnomesayin]

It was setting up to be a solid clean finish, who knows what chaos lies in store now.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Man everyone left lol

 

[FLRacingFan]

Can’t wait to see what kind of crash damage bill they can rack up in a GWC scenario.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I give up. Y'all enjoy.
