I swore part of the deal when they built this Lights car was that it shares a tub with the Indycar. Any team that wanted to move up wouldn't have to buy a new tub that way. Seems odd they can scrounge together more cars. I guess money is just tight everywhere.

This is great news, expecting more overtaking.

Damn these cars look so badass on track. Happy that Foyt finally figured something out with their cars, hope they can keep the pace up for the race.

I think it's a different tub but mostly the same design for the cockpit & seats so Lights drivers can save costs when moving up.

A shared chassis would be a good idea for the 2021+ car though. Seems to be working well for Pro Mazda & USF2000 so far.

USF2000 race coming up.

Considering it was a last minute deal, a car and track he doesn't know, qualifying 7th is pretty good for Jamie Caroline.

TFW the battle behind the cars they're showing on the stream is the intense one and you have to squint into the rear of the shots to see it :lol:

Unfortunately they never use the full cameras for the lower two series on the ladder on the stream.

You think this support race commentator is ever going to work out how long the races he's covering actually are? :P

They should let one of the commentators switch between those static cams. Might be a bit of a learning curve to multi task, but it surely couldn't be worse than what we see now.

It's not often in life you look at something and think "I could do better than that myself"

It's very easy to say, especially on an internet forum like this, it's obviously said too much

But dammit, I could do better than that myself lol

Goddamnit, Race Control, the way the video just pops up on the top on the browser as you scroll down to see the standings, is so annoying. Whoever thought that was a good idea, should be made to wash toilets for a month
