Indy Car

Good race in Texas, just a shame about the rash of yellows in the middle of the race which left it stuck behind the pace car for a long slog. Hopefully now NASCAR has moved to the Next Gen car we can end all this PJ1 nonsense and see the second groove widen out.

Beautiful pass by J New for the win. Rossi just keeps finding those cartoon anvils whilst the Andretti cars in general didn't seem to have what was required.

That got muted here.

That woke my wife up! Whoops.

Cars and planes on the TV don’t wake her up, but bad singing does.

Is it just me, or does that curved pit lane look bloody dangerous?

I got through to the weird grunty bit and bailed. Thank god I don’t have to watch sport on a US tv channel.. the constant adverts would kill me.

She will get a big pat on the back for that.

I love the way in Indycar they can just randomly close off a city centre and have a race round it. Imagine if we could close off Bromley and have a BTCC race around it or something.

I know they did that in Birmingham back in the day but nothing like that happens in the UK nowadays.

Been there forever, no problems. The flower fountain though...

Some very familiar names in among the rookies, for those who follow F2.

Lol at the course worker driving the forklift in to the tyre wall to try and get them back in to position, before driving off with a “That’ll do” attitude…

Coventry motorfest do a closed road event, and there are closed road rallies in the UK.

Just hit it with a forklift until it looks alright

Surely one of the F1 teams signs Herta for the Vegas GP next year?

[Sandpit Steve]

LOL at American TV taking an ad break, just after the leader pits and comes out 3rd.

Would be great to see Colton Herta in F1, but not in a back marker team.

And now he's binned it
