Good session with quite a few little incidents. More IndyCar tomorrow...

amazing tast car

Ten laps in FP2 wasn't enough for Duno to even get in the same ball park as her FP1 time?

At least there are 25 cars, moreoever, 22 of them are within 2 seconds off the leader. Thus on this positive note, with a better economic perspective for the future, the cars count looks not bad.

For Fucks Sake, Milka, Get the Fuck off Indycar!

Notice how Cosworth never did appear on that livery. I guess Honda said "ha, fuck off".

IndyCar FP2 Highlights:


Note Rahals close call to potential disaster at 2:38; missed that one yesterday.

does practice start in 5 mins? if not when?

can someone answer asap please.

I am really not sure how the times on the first post could be made any clearer but oh well.

Indy Lights FP2 is on atm.

IndyCar FP3 is just starting.

Who are these commentators?!

Briscoe in the tires. Just switched to his onboard and he was already there

Haha its WILSON commentators!! WILSON!!

I think they may have had some of those drinks offered to them already. This is just BAD commentating.

Matos just spun it, right infront of Milka.

Baguette collects a cone from somewhere, the commentator guy tries to figure out which car it is whilst staring at its back wing with 'BAGUETTE' on it.

'Thats errr... thats.... .... Bertrand Baguette isn't it?'

He just called Danica's car, Simona's car.

Also just said Hideki Mutoh is in the Lotus...

Power back on top today. Very close field, but Power still seems to have the edge over the rest of them.

Qualifying later on in the day.

Milka was always bad, but I think the never was THAT slow.
What the hell is up with her?
Seriously, Baguette was sitting in an IndyCar the first time ten days before and is 10 seconds faster than an experienced Milka. I don't want to bash her, I'm just curious: How can that be?!?

She probably don't know how to set up the car and therefore not being confident with it. Street course makes it probably even worse.

It bothers me that she still keeps on trying, doesn't she see a problem with the fact she's always the dead last by a huge margin? What keeps her driving?
