Wow, these guys are really a bit shit in wheel to wheel racing at times.

Scott Dixon is going to be pissed off at the team debrief after that.

[kiroquai]

I mean seriously, you couldn't have scripted this to be more amusing if you tried. First his youngest driver causes a crash, then his second-youngest drives into his team mate and wipes him out.

3 yellows down, 1 to go!

I could be worse, the I can only get the radio feed and that's all about american skin cancer adverts

[JPR]

That was quite amazing though, it was as if he completely forgot there could be other cars on the track.

[Dudley]

Wait, what the fuck did Kimball even think he was doing?

[kiroquai]

Bourdais vs. Montoya vs. Sato. What could possibly go wrong?

Sage fucking Karam

Okay, no more yellows please.

[Dudley]

Okay, no more yellows please.

You're not allowed to post anymore

[JPR]

Okay, no more yellows please.

That's not how things work in these parts.

[ryodi]

its a miracle when these guys can manage a restart without crashing into each other.

[Dudley]

Oh dear god that's the exact same fucking stupid thing he did last time.

[Sidewaysbob]

I'm told american marshals aren't allowed on the race track when the track is under green. So they have to throw a full course yellow to allow the marshal to drive up to the debris clear it, then drive off.

America. you do love your cars.

[JPR]

In fairness, would you want to be on the track with these drivers?

[Count Buffalos]

Amateur hour.

[kiroquai]

Wasn't I saying earlier today how much I hate Will Power and Penske? I am sure I was.

[Sidewaysbob]

Good point, i think being in the same state might be risky !

[thesnwmn]

Sigh. Shit. Just completely shit. Good to see the pinnacle of single seater racing on the west of the Atlantic

[Sidewaysbob]

oh a red flag for variety

[kiroquai]

oh a red flag for verity

I'm not sure even Verity wants this race to carry on much longer

Edit: curse your ninja correction Bob

[thesnwmn]

So bloody artificial too. Shit, caution near the end. Best go red so we can go green at the end.

[ryodi]

Despite it being amateur hour and being repeatedly subjected to 'The Ladbrokes life', it's been a very entertaining race to watch. Do you need a Super License or equivalent to race in IndyCar like you do in F1?

[Dudley]

Sato could win this too, he's ahead on fuel and the red rather than yellow does not help JPM or Seabass at all.

[JPR]

Great by Sato, a Sato win would just top the day off now.

[kiroquai]

I must admit being able to chat about it as it's happened has made it a lot more fun. Hooray for RLLMUK!

[Dudley]

How can you not love Sage Karam Adventures?

[Count Buffalos]

It's an entertaining formula of this type of stuff. For all the artifice of full course cautions and the occasional clumsiness of the drivers, it's fun to watch, especially at circuits that F1 wouldn't dream of racing at - Watkins Glen, for example.

[kiroquai]

Texas next week, too. Batshit track made thankfully slightly less terrifying by the cars now not running three-wide for every lap.

[Dudley]

To be fair, this is considerably more clown shoes than normal.

[thesnwmn]

Despite it being amateur hour and being repeatedly subjected to 'The Ladbrokes life', it's been a very entertaining race to watch.

Do you think so? Since lap 37 we've had six yellows and 7 laps of green flag racing out of 27 laps. The occasional touch during a pass is one thing. But right now this is like touring cars where after a while you're so used to the "rubbing" it's just not interesting.
