Having to manually connect a wiring loom during a front wing change is nuts.
These old school American circuits are dangerous.
that impact on the concrete made me wince. Was it that much of a freak runoff or does this still happen? These old school American circuits are dangerous.
The cars look terrible - they remind me of ned kellys hat or some kind of turreted ww2 scout truck. I know from F1 this is a tired old argument but we're stretching the point of open cockpit here.

How on earth do people compare it to F1? Driving standards in F2 possibly even F3 apear superior. Rolling starts ffs and they still crash.
And the concrete walls. Just wow.

Watched the last few Indycar races. The whole operation just looks amateurish.

Runs on a tiny fraction of the ludicrous F1 budgets and provides far more entertainment IMO.How on earth do people compare it to F1? Driving standards in F2 possibly even F3 apear superior. Rolling starts ffs and they still crash.

You can only really compare the driving when you compare how difficult the cars are to drive. From everything I've read about what the top drivers say about the new Indycars they are very tricky to drive. They don't have tyre warmers either so they drive out after a pitstop on truly cold tyres.

lets not do F1 v. Indycar. It wouldn't be fair on youYou can only really compare the driving when you compare how difficult the cars are to drive.

Seriously though f1 team budgets aren't really s
t to do with track safety - I've been to a few tracks in the UK (and Europe) and seen many more on the telly that host rounds of national level championships and they seem better set up... The American series have been often maligned over the years for a poor attitude to safety, if I'm talking st or out of date feel free to correct me.Gassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
