Matt : Well $20 per beer may have been an overstatement . Lets just say Including Tax $19.99 per pop
Certainly hope they don't charge for Bumps and Potholes . |

$$$. But if this race happens I do hope they learn from Baltimore and deal with the pavement and railway tracks properly.

Whether they sponsor the race directly is another matter, but the city itself has a thriving economy. Also the GP organiser states the funding is from private sources. |

There have been some changes, to both Chevrolet's and Honda's aero-kits.

Won't that create more drag? Like parachutes behind each wheel. I'm sure they know what they're doing

An interesting article, with Chevrolet saying there's no quick fix to the aero-kit problems that occurred at this year's Indy 500.

Maybe F1 2003? Montoya did have a strong run that season. His results don't reflect how well he drove - his car broke on him at the A1-Ring and Suzuka while leading.

No he didn't lead the title that year. Certainly what also hurt him was the late season rule change that favoured Bridgestone.
Watched both Detroit races, exciting and taught F1 a thing or two |

The aero-kit saga continues, as Chevrolet say there's no proof of cars crashing and becoming airborne is linked to their aero-kit.

Marshall Pruett posted this article talking about Honda struggles. Teams want mid-season changes to be made to the aero kits to make them more competitive. Quote:

They were told they'd have to qualify what they raced (in the 500), actually.

Between the end of last season and the beginning of this, was the longest off season in the history of AOWR, why couldn't this time have been used more effectively, to design and thoroughly test the aero-kits? It seems to me the IRL didn't get started soon enough and did a rush job with the aero-kits. Don't forget they weren't going to be used at the original season opener at Brasilia. Both Chevy and Honda were required to qualify in race trim. |

But now, Indycar are in trouble. If they don't do anything, the Honda teams will get angry. If they allow Honda to upgrade their kits, Chevy will get angry. |
