Indy is the first to use what the rest of the world has been using for years in flags and localised yellows.

Got to love the commentary.

First course in the US to use lights as well as flags, apparently… Didn’t Indy race at COTA last year?

[Tyre Smoke]

Yes. But apparently without flags.

It's about to get very wet.....

[Tyre Smoke]

Is it rain tyres or slicks? No inters?

[Sandpit Steve]

Here comes the rain.

Yep.

[Tyre Smoke]

Thanks

Jack Harvey has driven a good race - been along-time fan of Harvey's, from back in his days in the RSF funded cars.

[Tyre Smoke]

Ilott going well.

I feel he's a missed opportunity for F1.

[JonChalk]

This is going to be mad - they're all on slicks still.

[Sandpit Steve]

Lol, they all took slicks as the rain comes down.

[JonChalk]

JPM has somehow made his way up to 6th from the back of the grid.

[anonymous-user]

There’s no way this race is finishing green. Crackers that anyone is on slicks.

Edit: Thought more than 3 were on slicks!

Scotty Mc snatching defeat from the jaws of, perhaps not victory, but better than bloody 20th!

..and bins it.

[Sandpit Steve]

That’ll be that then, what a chaotic race!

Surely some time in a wind tunnel would fix this, rather than wipers?

Looking forward to Indy 500 qualifying this weekend.

Dixon running well, as he always seems to at this track. Along with Sato

Great to see Jimmie Johnson up there in the times too - whilst I don't think he has it for road and street courses, he could do well on the ovals.

Surprising to see the Andretti cars struggling so much - Herta, Grosjean, Rossi....maybe they are focusing on race setup?

Do you happen to know the times it's on Sky? I have a calendar subscription that shows me the start times of all the races but this weekend's entry is just a 2-day "whole day" event.

It's 12-6 ET, and we're 5 hours ahead, so 5-11 here, but Sky only showing 8-11 on the F1 channel.
