Laguna Seca isn't wide enough for the current IndyCars, and I highly doubt it has something to do with Mazda considering that Long Beach is still sponsored by Toyota (or is it the Toyota dealers of the area?).


I'm pretty sure CART cars and champcars were much wider then the dallaras.

I understand you probably won't know why, but this is quite possibly one of the funniest posts I've read on this site.

Oh hello, made it at last I see!

Add Road America, Cleveland and Laguna Seca (coupled with a better car) and suddenly everything is right again with the world...

For the 50th time. Chicagoland owners are more interested in NASCAR and everything around. They don't give a shit about IndyCars.

Piccard is always a legend.

But anyway, would be fucked if it wouldn't be on the final calendar for next year. That race is like Talladega or Daytona only for IRL, and always enjoyed the races there.

For the 51st time the owners rather had NASCAR there instead of Indycars.

The owner of Kentucky Speedway doesn't care about Indycar either, considering the attendance last weekend. But IndyCar still added three more of his tracks to the 2011 schedule.

I always enjoyed the races at Michigan, too. But no one came. So that track is gone.

Racing is a business. :wave:

It is entertainment business, but the entertainment becomes less and less important.

ISC = Int Speedway Corp = NASCAR = Grand Am (I know they aren't equal, but for the purposes of this discussion, it is close enough)

Road Atlanta = Don Panoz = ALMS

ALMS and Grand Am do not mix, ever.

I don't like the fact that there is more road courses than ovals. And none before Indy either... Although I guess if you class the twin races at Texas as two, you get the 50/50 split.........

Well, everyone seems to say that 1995 was the last "great season of AOWR". 11 Road/Street Courses and 6 Ovals.

Of course, one can argue about the quality of races the Dallara's provide in road courses.

After all those years it's way clear that forming IRL didn't have anything to do with bringing AOW back to it's oval roots whatsoever :wave:

Imax are going to make a new 3D film around the Indy 500.
http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.co ... m-project/
Quote:
The Stephen Low Company is pleased to announce the development of a new IMAX 3D motion picture project focused on the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, which takes place annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the evolution of motorsports.

The 3D film will be directed by giant-screen filmmaker Stephen Low and produced and distributed by The Stephen Low Company in association with Ralph Hansen of Pegasus Marketing Group. Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials endorse the venture and will consult on the content of the film and companion education outreach program, and also provide access to the world-famous racing facility for filming.

The production will be an independent documentary celebrating the auto racing experience and its historical and enduring connection to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis 500. The Speedway was constructed in 1909, and the first “500” took place on May 30, 1911.

Low also produced and directed the critically-acclaimed 1997 IMAX film “Super Speedway,” featuring legendary IndyCar drivers Mario and Michael Andretti.

Anticipated for release in October 2011, plans call for the film to be distributed worldwide to IMAX theatres (3D, 2D and Dome).The motion picture will be filmed at the Speedway and related story locations, capturing unique 3D track action and highlight key moments in the track’s remarkable 102-year history and 100th anniversary of the first Indianapolis 500.

“This project will reach and attract new audiences to IMS and to motorsports, and create an important link to museums, science centers and schools by providing a meaningful science and technology learning experience,” said Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation president and CEO. “The film will create a memorable and lasting tribute to ‘The Racing Capital of the World’ and its many contributions to society. The planned timing of its release will provide a fitting conclusion to our 100th anniversary celebrations.”

The project is to be funded by producer investment and major corporate sponsorships. Participating sponsors will benefit from worldwide brand presence on the film credits and in the content and marketing of the film, as well as through association with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500, the racing community and prestigious exhibiting museums and science centers worldwide.

The Stephen Low Company is a Montreal-based producer of the IMAX Experience and leading 3D entertainment and a distributor to IMAX theaters and other giant screen theatres worldwide. Award-winning filmmaker Stephen Low is the director of more than fifteen giant screen films including the just released “Legends of Flight (3D)” and “The Ultimate Wave (3D),” as well as “Across the Sea of Time (3D),” “Mark Twain's America (3D),” “Beavers,” “Titanica,” “Fighter Pilot” and the giant screen racing classic “Super Speedway (1997),” among others.



The Imax stuff like this tend to be pretty good so Im looking forward to it :)
