Now BEHAVE!Scary crash in the Indy Lights race in Toronto - driver thankfully ok, but horribly similar to Jeff Krosnoff's accident back in 1996.

The crash at Monaco F1 this year with Verstappen could have been very similar if he had gone to the left not the right.
The similar WSR crash at Monaco this year could have been worse when you see how close one car came to going over the barrier with nothing to stop it going further into the building and spectators/photographers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWgsvkZzraAMartG said:
Another car going backwards and taking to the air is a concern.
Just caught up with the race, had to record it due to a BBQ. Wow, what an enjoyable race! Fantastic pack racing, everyone mostly tempering aggression with sensibleness, got a little messy at the end but that's probably down to general fatigue after 450 odd miles.
Will Power is still as mad as a sack of owls and a great win for Graham Rahal, who won on his Indycar debut aged 19, then never again since until now.

I still don't get why the fuel hose thing didn't get a penalty. They usually get one for driving over an air-hose....Will Power is still as mad as a sack of owls and a great win for Graham Rahal, who won on his Indycar debut aged 19, then never again since until now.
Caught up with this over the last few nights. First Indycar Oval race I've watched in full, and it was pretty compelling, although I always had that feeling of impending doom whenever Sato rocketed into a gap. I was surprised that there wasn't anything major for so long, the racing was so clean for the first half.
No penalty for Rahal was a bit of a joke to be honest.
With all the comments about getting away from pack racing, surely that is the spectacle of an Oval, so if they take steps to reduce it, will that be the end of open wheeled Oval racing?

The 'pack' racing issue really came more to the fore before, and of course after, the 2011 Indycar race in Las Vegas in which Dan Wheldon was killed. The general concensus being that 30-odd cars around a short, fast oval averaging 220mph could and indeed did lead to disaster.
Since then the high speed ovals have always been under a bit of nervous scrutiny, especially when cars are running 3,4 and even 5 abreast, ducking in and out of gaps.
Although it is monumentally exciting, risky and exhilerating to watch and is what oval racing should be as long as people don't drive like idiots. At the moment the calibre of driver in Indycars is very good compared to a few years back.
