Schedule (all Sat 06/06, all times eastern):
Practice: 1 pm - 3:30 pm
Quals: 5 pm - 6 pm
Race: 8:10 pm, 2:10 am in central Eurpe

Entry List (thx to RtN):

The race will be held without spctators and with restricted staff count
This is the first race with the new aeroscreen
This is the second fastest and imho the most dangerous track on the schedule
Firestone was not able to provide left side tires secified for Texas and Indy tires will be used
A set of tires can only be used for 35 laps
It's an evening/night race but there is no night practice
All this will undoubtedly lead to a setup chaos
There will be mayham of all sorts
No spectators will die

Oh yes

That tire situation seems sketchy, especially with the extremely short practice session.

finally the first race under Roger Penske ruling the whole stuff

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.

They need to hook up some remote controls so Scotty Mclaughlin can win.

Best news of the week for me.


Also, always love to watch Indy at Texas live on a saturday night. Even more after they ditched Fontana night races.

I get the reasons why, but I'm so disappointed they couldn't do a diecast of it

photo of the real deal

That s one very sexy car. Just like a very sexy lady. With very much oversized sunglasses.

Nice pic!!!




Seem like a job for @ziomkris96

In fact, I've just made road course wings for current spec in 1:18 scale xD But not thinking yet of making full car, actually I am making a lot of changes to champ car car once again

The good news about this situation is the amount of racing that is going to be crammed into a shorter space of time

The bad news from a European perspective is NASCAR and INDYCAR races that start at 2am in the goddamn morning, UK time

Also, its Texas, with a brand new spec of indycar and tyres they're not sure are gonna last with the new pressures on them

Eeeesh, we're entering the scary territory here people

I'm hoping for the usual Texas parade, otherwise it could be too much.
