HVM will bring the T-Car and unfortunately that's the junk they've used post-Texas last year. It was a dog of a car on ovals and I don't think they can copy all the aero details that had been lost in the crash to fill the T-Car. Simona's chances of making the show are next to nothing. That T-Car is the 2003 Dallara, the oldest to date still out there except for Sarah Fisher's T-Car which is also 2003 junk.

Nice. Interesting what they could do with the not detuned engines and the knowledge and experience they collected.

Is there any chance of rebuilding the car she crashed? Or would that be a complete write off?

Nice to see Wheldon on the pace. What is up with Conway? :o

I really really hope they can get into the field.

Can they borrow a car from another team?

Like 1995 when Bobby Rahal supplied Penske with two backup Lolas when they were struggling to get into the field. I think even a Reynard was supplied to them by another team too.

There's apparently been a disagreement between Scott Speed & Jay Penske which may have seen Scott refusing to get back in the car having complained it was way too loose 8O

Looks like Scott won't be back in the car & Jay Penske may go looking for someone else.

Apparently Scott Speed has had a huge argument with his team and may be out effective immediately! :o

They just said he was angered with the car's handling (too loose) and just plain refused to get back in it.


-EDIT- Damn your faster fingers Stef! :lol:

Well if it's too loose then you're going to crash sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

By the way, there's a scuff on the wall at the exit of turn 1, but I don't recall hearing about any contact today. I'm assuming I've missed a little something?

Anyone know who are some of the drivers that are at the Speedway looking for a last minute ride?
