2017 Indianapolis 500

[FourWheelDrift]

First 23mins of the race onboard with radio only (no engine noise) with Alonso, if you turn the volume up to hear the radio be aware there are a couple of adverts inserted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhOs-eFtmZk

Makes up so much time on Carpenter entering the pits, almost gets taken out by Veach on the pit exit lap.

It looks like he's not really impressed with Honda and also interesting are the remarks referring to him coming back - most likely looking for a different seat in F1 for next season?

Indycar have now put the full race online - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V21Z_po0Ooo

Probably wait a little for it to finish rendering for better quality.

^^^^^^ It's now ready in 1080p HD and although I haven't checked they are uploaded without advert breaks.

Maybe he should stick to Geology then. He didnt seem to know the sport at all.

Great for Sato. I remember him in F3 in 2001. At Brands he was so quick- the only driver to take Dingle dell flat, without lifting. I have been following him since then, so very pleased for him

Another Sato fan here -in nearly fifty years of watching F3 I have never , ever , seen anybody drive a F3 car harder or faster than Takuma at Croft and I have been a fan ever since. I remember also watching him at Silverstone in the BAR in tyre testing - the only driver as quick as Sato through Copse was Schumacher - heart in mouth stuff . Flawed - of course he is , like all the most interesting drivers, but a very nice man and a ferociously committed driver . I am overjoyed for him - let 2012's tilting at windmills moment be forgotten ...

FOM have been uploading their own recently - including interviews, and historic material.

Their issue is probably that they will have made commitments to the TV companies about control of the content.. so as not to undermine the Pay Per View market, so until they get a chance to renegotiate the contracts it doesn't look like an overnight fix...?

Since Bernie left the F1 clips which have been released have been much better quality. Seems they don't want to be as strict over their clips any more which is a nice change.

It was on youtube for a while though. And since this is Indianapolis 500 we're talking about here and IMS are known to do everything to make as much money as possible (that included killing one of the best racing series in the 1990's and turning America's open seat racing into a stehole that they never really recovered from) I'm not surprised it was taken down eventually.
