I'm surprised that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. We saw with Franchitti's accident how minimal crowd safety was. Everyone there was seriously lucky.

It started raining again at Woodcote Corner and just as Jarier passed the chicane, he came off into the catch fencing in front of the main stand where I was sitting. One of the wooden poles holding the fencing broke free had sailed into the audience and hit this woman spectator on the forehead, with fortunately a glancing blow. It all happened in slow motion and I can still see it today. These things do happen but fortunately not that often. |

It looks like Andretti will be fielding a 5 car team at the 500, as TE Connectivity are announced as sponsors for Simona De Silvestro's car.

I presume you have first hand stats to confirm that Mountainstar?
Considering they pulled all their motorsport sponsorships I would suggest that the decision was bigger than Indycar. |

So you would be happy to provide the report to support your posts?

I disagree with the term "penalize". Chevrolet got points docked for doing engine repairs. Itś not like they were cheating.

Plus if they're the manufacturer of the Championship winning team, then that kind of makes them the de facto manufacturers champion. Even if they finish the season with negative points. |

The 12th engine apparently has to get its valve springs replaced after the next round too.. so another 20points off the manufacturer's points table. Yet Chevy will probably still beat Honda... |

Here's a link giving more detailed information. Sponsorship in NASCAR and Indycar was a complete flop for the NG.
