St. Petersburg.......The race!!

[Charlie Spencer]

Rahal gets by but Herta determined to get a yellow in that corner.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I can’t imagine what it’s like for your body when the frame hits the track like that. Absolute shot to the back

I’m honestly shocked these guys aren’t injured. Their asses are so much closer to the ground and I can’t imagine there’s a lot of cushion in their seat/floor area.

Aric Almirola was out for weeks after his Cup car bounced like that, but it was a lot heavier.

The weight and speed on oval in a stock car had to of created so much force when that happened

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Sad for Andretti when their best runner is the stunt car.

How's that even possible. Colton walls it every time they're on a street course.
Not his fault this time though.

 

[JW1]

Jumping those cars like that -out on the track- it's really not that big of a deal.


We used to do stuff like that out on the back country roads when I was a kid, in my buddy's 1954 Chevy station wagon.

Yesterday-at the check-in tent.

Will Power has been quiet today.

He sure ran into some folks down there.

Rosenqvist is back on track 40 laps behind. Points racing.

3 spots possible.

One of the things to look at when you watch this race-- notice how beautiful the city of St. Petersburg is. It is without a doubt the most gorgeous city I have ever been in. All new condos and buildings downtown where they are racing. The harbor right there is beautiful. I am just in awe of the architecture and pretty buildings when I go for a ride downtown.


San Diego in the 1960s was a close second.

You're right. Those seats aren't made for comfort.

 

[JW1]

I can't get the thought of Ryan Hunter Rey in that DHL car every time I see Grosjean driving it.

Just Will Power doing Will Power things...

 

[FLRacingFan]

Drama!!!!!

 

[JW1]

Well boys!! Rubbin's Racin'!!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Two dummies.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Brutal, brutal day for Andretti Autosport

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Saw that coming once they hit the straight

 

[Hotrod]

That was awesome but just WOW !!!!!

 

[Magicmiler]

Frigging broadcast sh1ts the bed at the best part...

 

[donthaveanickname]

What the hell is this race.

 

[Mispeedway15]

My God this race is a 12 out of 10. I jumped out of my chair there

 

[JW1]

Ryan Hunter Rhey is ready to get back in the DHL car.

 

[HoneyBadger]

If I was Romain Grosjean, which I’m not, we’re fighting right now.

 

[Mispeedway15]

If I was Romain Grosjean, we’re fighting right now.

They both had eyes far too wide there. Both went full send into such a tight corner. Plus you have the adrenaline carryover of those intense lap by lap battles before the stops

 

[Hotrod]

What the hell is this race.

Its the new Indy version of "The Daytona 500".
First race and everything gets crashed.

Grosjean has the run, and gave McLaughlin room.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is the best street course race I've ever seen. No holds barred all day long.

For sure. Is there anything we haven't seen yet?? Good thing they started 27 cars.

 

[Greg]

I wonder if they could put a small spring under the seat or some type or bushing to absorb some of the impact in order to protect the tail bone on a hard landing. It could possibly prevent putting another racer in a wheelchair.

They could also go just go with a Hank Hill ProstheticAss for cushioning to compliment the HANS device.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Man, these guys are almost wrecking just coming to green now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Grosjean has the run, and gave McLaughlin room.

Race control agrees. Drive thru penalty for Mac.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Grosjean has the run, and gave McLaughlin room.

He’ll be penalized for that

 

[Mispeedway15]

Man, these guys are almost wrecking just coming to green now.

I feel like we need air titans to clean that front stretch off

Yeah do they not have a sweeper this weekend or what? Pretty much every shot shows marbles everywhere. With all these cautions I would’ve thought they’d do a cleaning in a few places.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Romain wants the rules to change so everyone will let him through

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ericsson might make this interesting
