No, not "What A Race" at all.
'What a last 13 laps' is more accurate, unfortunately you had to sit through 1hr 45 mins to get to the exciting bit.
Still, i'm surprised the drivers boll0cks can fit in the cars.
Disagree entirely. The race to get to that point was very good....simon may have lucked out a bit on fuel but that’s racing'What a last 13 laps' is more accurate, unfortunately you had to sit through 1hr 45 mins to get to the exciting bit.

That's the 'chess' part of the race. I love how they evolve the setups of the cars throughout the race adding downforce in traffic etc, taking it off near the end, until they end up being completely trimmed out. Great stuff.

Only started to watch the Indy series since Sky have been showing them so was my first Indy500! What a race was expecting to turn off after the first few laps but always something going on!
One thing though, how many adverts does the US have! My god their actual coverage must have been around 15 min! Glad Sky was able to carry on the feed from the circuit and put in Brundle and the other chap.

You should have seen the St Pete race at the start of the season before they had British commentators...it was utterly dire. The Americans aren’t too happy since Indycar switched channels the coverage has been awful. Not great for a paid channel! One thing though, how many adverts does the US have!

Brilliant finish. Pleased for Pagenaud, would have been just as happy if Rossi or Sato had won.
Just finished watching it at midnight. Unbelievably the race is not shown live on TV in one place, Indianapolis! If you don’t go to the race you don’t get to see it until the evening.
Does the blackout help attendance at Indy or - like Le Mans - being a blue riband event that transcends the sport is enough of a sell?Just finished watching it at midnight.

At least there's Paul Tracey in his element as commentator. Shame about what he does on social media.Gassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
