It's nice to have Indycar back but... zzzzzz. When the fuel saving starts as soon as the green flag flies it might be time to do something about it


Yeah, F1 got better when they banned refuelling, time Indycar did it too

Not sure i wanna see the size of the cars after a fuel tank that can run 500 miles, but damn, this is some WEC level "Cars battling 30secs apart on track racing to their delta" shit
Bet Hindy will be having fits at how all racing should be like this kind of racing.

Yeah, but what can you do about it? That maximum laps between stops was just dumb.

I dunno, will take until the next engine/chasis combo so they can look at how to stop them saving fuel all the time

If I was the race director though, i'd be throwing yellows at the least convenient times for the fuel saving runs.
Fuck purism when it comes to this kind of racing

How many commercials does American television shows have? I know I'm not paying for this, but it is still completely ridiculous

95% commercials, 5% everything else

(I wish Peacock had a IMSA type TrackPass option for ad-free live races for IndyCar)

What I also find frustrating is that they keep showing that P2P left, constantly rather than the secs between the drivers

Maybe a good rule to help with the fuel saving blight is that everyone HAS to spend their push to pass, formula E style, before the end of the race

5 laps to go and I just discovered the race is on Polish Eurosport 2. Talk about a shocker.

White flag. Palou catches some traffic but should hold on.
