Annoying that actual proper support races like Indy Lights and the like aren't given a slot here in favour of fucking drifting

At night? So they have floodlights at LB now or are they just ok with streetlights? Would the streetlights be ok for an Indycar night race or are they not bright enough? I may have turned around on this issue now

Ohh I see, well, that's explained all the curiosity I have about that, back to not liking drifting at all

They added one from yesterday it turns out. Veekay at least launched over it but Indycar doesn't seem to have told the teams. |

Isn't this race usually a bit of a procession? Unless it goes full Indycar lol |

Yeah it usually relies on a few well timed cautions to mix the pack up a bit/stop them from fuel saving... |

Random track blockage at the hairpin that brings out a SC about halfway through, batshit crazy end OR Huge start pile up down in T1, depleted field means not much in the way of further yellows, fuel strategy race to the end. We'll see what we get. Also, I don't think it's ever rained during a Long Beach race has it? It's probably unlikely given the location, but hell, it's rained at Abu Dhabi before, so who knows. |
