Iowa is actually 7/8 of a mile. Shorter than Milwaukee.Current IndyCars look and sound almost preposterously goofy..... but then, you can pretty much say the same thing about F1 cars. I'm also not a fan of the 1.5 mile ovals like Texas and Iowa, altho it looks like they are the last of that breed left on the schedule. Everything else......... is CART 2.0.
I have a beautiful picture of him in the TR at the Indy GP one year. So nice my wife tried to take it to work to hang in her office, but her office mate's nixed that idea.It's a shame Scott Speed sucked out loud.
He won the one and only Champ Car Vegas GP. We stayed at the in-laws that weekend, and when I got back from the race Sunday afternoon, my MIL said, "The news says the race was won by a man named 'Will Power'. That's a joke, right?"Will Power still has to be one of the best sports names ever, right behind Dick Trickle.
So we had a huge potluck today, and the whole office has been effectively done with work since about noon. Looking at Google Maps, I see that the current satellite image of Sears Point Raceway was taken during the Indy Car event, and might actually have been during the race itself. How fun.
It was shot on Saturday August 23rd, 2014 during the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma.Hmmm... the cars look pretty closely bunched together. If it were a practice session, I would expect everyone to be more spread out. It looks like the cars are racing. Also, there isn't much of a crowd in the grandstands, but if it were just practice I would expect pretty much no one to be there.
My understanding of the rules is that the while line at exit is merely there to define the limit of the track for cars rejoining the circuit. It has no bearing at all on traffic already on the circuit at speed. If there is a rule limiting that, it's news to me.One thing I was confused about. Is it not against the rules to drive over the pit out white line to gain a position?
Well, he nearly murdered his brother and his ex-teammate by squeezing them almost into the pitwall as they tried to pass. The Barrichello incident attracted attention because the pit exit was right there, and they both drove through.My brain is telling me Schumacher did a bad thing with a pit line once but I'll be damned if I can place it. Monaco maybe.
Pirelli World Challenge officials have handed out a plethora of penalties following the chaotic and caution-filled race at Long Beach. In all, 20 teams were punished, totalling $61,000 in fines alone.
Race winner Olivier Beretta was penalized for three infractions, two of which were called 'driving conduct' and the last being 'movement prior to the start.' The most severe penalties reached fines of $5,000, starting from the pit lane, and a deduction of 40 driver points.
The FIA: "We want teams to use staggeringly complex "power units" with energy recovery systems, because technology, but we limit you to X number of them, because costs."I just learned that Ricciardo will be plugging in his 4th ICE for Barcelona. He won't be able to use any more engines for the rest of the season without incurring a grid penalty.
Because that's what the fans want.
