Who was AFDC with?
Man if he gets even a half decent full time ride he would be an automatic contender. Self EDIT! Rahal Lannigan. Last edited by chunterer; 4 Nov 2020 at 13:28. |

That's good news. RHR has always been a top driver in the series

For me, lap records aren’t necessarily there to be broken. The lap times should be similar though. However we will see how quick they go at Laguna. I would be surprised if they go anywhere near the one minute mark, but they should be around the 1’10 mark

I'd say records are there to be broken, otherwise why bother to set them in the first place?
The outright lap record for Laguna Seca is 1:05.786, set by Marc Gené on May 19, 2012, in a Ferrari F2003-GA F1 car, at the 2012 Ferrari Racing Days, which was an exhibition event. The official lap record is 1:07.722 set by Hélio Castroneves, on September 9, 2000 in a Reynard 2KI-Honda HR-0 during qualifying for the Honda Grand Prix of Monterey. With the return of IndyCar to Laguna Seca last year, Colton Herta took pole with a lap time of 1:10.140. |

Or put Helio in it for a 6 race program, Barber, Long Beach, Indy 500, Indy road course, Portland and Laguna Seca.

Best of luck to Helio, one of the best Indycar drivers of all time. Indy 500 should be fun for him, although it's likely to be one of the most competitive fields there. But he should be able to show his magic on any circuit and I can't wait to see it

Not sure the number of titles he racked up agree with you there
He hasn't won a season long title, surely the harder achievement of an Indycar driver despite the prestige given to indy And of his TWO Indy Victories, he had the luxury of womping over a fairly thin field for his first too. No, on the same day when you see up and coming talents like Askew saying their short indycar career is already over, the announcement of a 45 year old Jump Starting has-been is perhaps the most underwhelming of the season If he had any grace he'd become a team manager and give the car up to a young gun. Kanaan too. Their best years are behind them. |

When it comes to the Indy 500, Hélio is definitely up there. He won it three times, with back to back wins in 2001 and '02. His third win was in 2009, starting from pole and he has taken pole 4 times. However, he has never won the Driver's Championship but was runner up 4 times, in 2002, 2008, 2013 and '14.

I think we’re allowed to debate. Whatever you may think of the 02 event, it doesn’t diminish Helio’s achievement. He probably deserved it more than Trump deserved his presidency. Anyway, there are still question marks over whether Tracy did legitimately take the lead when the yellows came out

I was always a CART fan. The only 500 I watched during the IRL era was in 2007, when Franchitti won after the race was stopped due to a big crash with Dan Wheldon and Marco Andretti. Prior to that the race had initially been stopped because of rain.
