Round 4: Grand Prix of Indianapolis, 8 - 10 May, 2014
An IndyCar racing clockwise at Indianapolis? Stranger things have happened, but not by much.



The course has a length of 2.439 mi (3.925 km). It has 14 corners and two very long straights.

(By the way, I'd name the course like this:

o- Oval corners: Foyt, Unser, Rutherford and Mears.
o- Straights: Meyer and Vukovich.
o- Chutes: Shaw and Rose.
o- Road course corners: Andretti, Tom, Vukovich, Wardm, Jimmy, Johncock, Fittipaldi, Lionheart, etc.)

Is it too early for a Franchitti corner, do you think?

Definitely should be a Tracy corner in there somewhere.
Perhaps as an official apology for the 2002 500?

Not really that happy about this race, think it will dilute the legacy of the 500 even more rather than add anything.
It'll just be a historical footnote in 20 years or so, not the beginning of a new tradition.

Are the lap times now comparable* with F1 lap times from the past?

*Or not actually comparable since F1 used 3-litre V10's back then.

The layout is 267 meters shorter and flow of the track different than in the F1 days so no.

And the generation of F1 cars at that time were the fastest things on wheels. Most F1 lap records are still from the mid 00's.

It was a nice surprise to see video on the Indycar website today for both sessions. I assume tomorrow will be the same. Unfortunately both audio feeds were cutting out - Paul Page on one, Bob Jenkins on the other.

Think they timed their laps well around intermittent rain, but it should make the race fun. A few road course experts down the field too - Wilson, Montagny and Conway having to come through the field should be fun too. Unusual to have a race on Saturday evening UK time but I'm sure there's a good reason.

Started to lose the feed at the start of the race but it looked like Saavedra stalled and there was a bit of a pile up.

FLGTFAN has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Kinda reminds me of the good old days in F1 when the drivers could go jump in the back-up and take their original grid position for the restart.
