Cracking race throughout

I can't believe we've had nearly 2 full seasons with the new screens & no rain. I am interested to see how the screens perform when it's wet.

Was only half listening when Chief Penske guy was talking. Did they say not all races to be televised next year?

Cheers all

Two seasons with no racing in the rain. What are the chances.

Enjoyed the season.

Just watching Eyes on the Target and it's reminded me we're just three weeks away from the new season. Winner!

Man oh man!

Third season with screens & they've still not driven in the rain. What's the chances?

Great drive O'ward

Wow. Scary biscuits

Hearing Brian Herta's instructions reminded me of a crash course I went on. Apparently in a road crash where the car finishes upside down the most common serious injury is after the car comes to rest. People tend to undo the seatbelt then fall & break their neck.

It was scary even though just a simulation. They put me in an A3 on a spit type device. They then rotated the car so I was upside down & taught me how to get out without undoing the belt.

Jimmie Johnson really needs to give it up.

Decent weekend for Jimmie. Ovals are unsurprisingly better for him.

Josef must be the coolest geezer in USA.

Jimmie drove like a man possessed, properly entertaining. It was cool to see him push the car and put the willies up some of them.

Astonished the team didn’t tell him to drop back behind Ericsson at the end, that’s not how you win Championships

Perhaps they did! I don't think he would have listened.

I was surprised at the stat last week that Scott Dixon has matched the all-time record of Indycar wins with 52. But he has won 6 championships. Seems like a low wins:championships ratio which may indicate how unpredictable the races are.

If you are comparing it to F1 (say) there are more drivers & fewer races in Indy.


But yes, there's a greater spread of winners.

Is this Saturday's Gallagher Grand Prix at Indy road course not live on Sky.

Indy schedule shows race start as race start midday, which is 5pm in the UK? Sky coverage is 9pm on Sky F1?

Based upon the countdown to the next race on indycar.com I agree with you; race starts at 17:00 UK time, but I too see coverage on Sky listed at 21:00.

I wonder if the Sky schedules might change? I've also looked at the other Sky channels, as they have been known to swap from the F1 channel.

I used to watch Indycar on Justin Tv. Quite often Justin’s wife would come home and switch to the shopping channel

Sky planner still showing 21.00

Doh!

Sky would cover the F2 live they wouldn't cut from that in progress to go to Indy.

They've moved Indy to a different channel in the past.

Apparently the race will be live on the red button on Sky Sports from 5pm.

Ta. Not possible to record the red button is it?
