IndyCar Road America TV schedule

And qualifying is on Saturday at 2pm EST on NBCSN

 

This is going to be good!

 

Yes, 'only essental racing personnel will have acccess to the Indycar garage area.' I think Road America has been consistent in saying they would do what Indycar wanted. The underclasses have Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday are Indycar and Vintage Indycar...only, I believe. IMO, RA is making special efforts to keep people safe by encouraging online ticket purchase, taking no contact temps of attendees, giving a mask and hand sanitizer to attendees, limiting crowd if necessary....and more.

 

Why should anyone be surprised they have temperature problems with that cockpit shut off from airflow with the windshield?

I don't think its a solvable problem without a cool suit system that could last 4hours.

 

I thought they had improved cockpit ventilation since the first tests with the closed cockpit?

 

I just read a driver's interview mentioning dirt and gravel coming into the helmet via some air supply hose but what about a largish monocoque opening with grille above the feet, that would shoot a lot of air in and be the same for all...

 

wtf is race coverage? I thought 2 and it's soccer, race at 4PM CDT now??

 

99 degrees F here today, tough it out!!

 

Chilly.
105 F in the backyard. Upper 120s F in the direct sunlight. Of course, when I told our friends in Scottsdale, they were unimpressed...T

 

108 degrees here in southern AZ. 113 not far from me in Phoenix...117 tomorrow.

 

Yeah, we text our friends in Scottsdale when the temps tickle triple digits here in DFW.
Makes it seem not so bad. Stay cool!

Scott Dixon always rockin' a Richard Mille...seems to have a new one each race. Those in total probably cost more than some of the Indy teams' annual budgets...

 

personal sponsor IIRC.

he'll clinch the championship by the Indy 500 at this rate....

 

Did you notice how the 'entertainment' no longer talks much about 'push to pass'? A big part of the strategy, but not for anybody but those in the paits.....why is that?

 

They mention push to pass every race.

 

Indy Car should run every race this year at Road America. Yesterday's race was much more entertaining than F1.

 

Indycar has been more entertainment than F1 for a number of years. I watch all the F1 and Indy plus IMSA races....Indy is way closer racing and more passing....love it!

 

No argument there. But, wasn't it mostly ignored til the closing laps?

 

It was. But as an attendee the two prior years, they were both parades. I think last year was the one with not one yellow....
