Nashville IndyCar Music City Grand Prix thread.

No way, wish I’d known. Currently at the Nashville airport headed to Dallas, otherwise I would have tried to make it on Sunday.

 

friend coaching one of the GT America drivers: "T1 is going to be a cluster****"

 

transitions on and off the bridge are insane

someone’s gonna wreck from the wheel being snapped out of their hands

 

somehow I imagine he has strong grip

 

Also, this is the largest field for a race other than the 500 since 2013

 

O’Ward complained of the wheel being kicked out of his hands off the bridge, so there we go…

 

Pato crash-o

 

I thought that bridge was going to come with issues...

 

Like on a new road course in F1 you can sense the smart ones are upping their speed verrrry progressively to avoid time wasting damage.

 

The Phoenix!

 

I just have live timing here in the old world hope there is a stream Sunday.

 

can you get peacock online streaming outside the US? maybe with a VPN?

 

Thanks Hah! I have had no TV at all out of choice since 2016.
Cricfree was great until just weeks ago to watch F1,Indycar etc but it has obviously been sued to death by the pay per view channels. Someone kindly provided a link for Hungary Sunday, hoping for same in 48 hours.

Not sure about VPN unfamiliar with that as of now, any tips appreciated if it can be done with a laptop.

 

A new Long Beach in terms of popularity perhaps? As long as overtaking is possible it looks good.

 

Hard to remember a first time event bringing so much interest.

A close friend recently moved to Nashville and she's entertaining Miami friends there
for the race weekend.

Interesting bit about Nashville that was lost on me was they ran TransAm races there
back in the '80s. Sort of remember that but they were running to many races on street
circuits back then it kind of became a blur.

First video of yesterday's practice.



I wonder if the harshest points will cause suspension failures? At Monthlery near Paris in Formula Ford on the banking in 1988 I had reinforced wishbones...I saw another in front of me have double front suspension failure, just skid along on his undertray.
Herta says it is rougher than Detroit...but all drivers love it....should be a great race as long as there is no gridlock pile up in the tight sections.
