Alonso joins McLaren (again, perhaps that should be re-join) for the Indy 500.

Great news! But seems a bold choice, picking McLaren over Andretti.

Andretti are Honda powered. Honda vetoed it.

The IndyCar iRacing race is proving to be very good.

I've watched F1 on shoddy NowTV streams that looked worse & there are some camera angles / shots that look pretty realistic.

Plus the 2020 IndyCars with the aeroscreens look really good.

Show just how bad F1 2019 is, I haven't seen a good Codemasters racing sim since the 2 TOCA Touring car games of the 1990s.

1) Choosing a good stable multiplayer platform.
2) Having all professional racers, no celebs.
3) By mimicking a real race day they have an established routine and look to the race that doesn't seem out of place.
4) Taking it seriously.

Indy 500 practice iracing on now - Newgarden stream - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWD_yGzNMkQ

Looks like Norris qualified 6th.


Newgarden was told two cars low into T1 and still turned down into them, airborne. Terrible start too.

Pagenaud did that deliberately and Ferrucci proves himself to be a moron as usual.

I was watching McLaughlins stream. His guys were telling him to sit in 5th as it was all going to kick off in front and how right they were. Rahal (and others) did not seem happy about what Norris was doing at all but I couldn't really see what was going on from Scotty's car.

Egos are getting bruised as they get shown up. Rahal is a habitual moaner, like Rossi but since Rossi has been nowhere he has had nothing to moan about.

Is that it though? They're not moaning about Scotty and he's right there coming from a completely different type of racing which he is also at the front of in the virtual world.

Scott wasn't about to win the 2nd of only 2 races he's taken part in and the blue riband oval one too.

Norris did nothing wrong it was Rahal's fault. It he had kept his line nothing would have happened but he turned right into Pagenaud.

[FourWheelDrift]

Well I won't bother with the race, looks to be just one line around the corners, go above that and you get Sato'd.

Just watched the 5 min highlights on youtube, apart from Andretti's great outside double pass on Rosenqvist and Hinchcliffe that Rosenqvist tried to copy and failed it's seemed less crashy than expected.

They still talk over team radio though.

I guess Wisonsin is Coronavirus free then.
