Wish they could go back to the old days where there was 4 chassis, multiple engines, 2 tyre choices and teams each had their own choice.

Downforce levels with these kits are going to be stupid. But hey, it's almost like they didn't think this new car through.


A while back I suggested the body kits were no longer necessary as it would merely create a performance gap between the top and bottom teams. As it has been for a few years the racing has been good, the gap between all teams has been minimal and every team has had a chance to win.

RIP Dan & Marco.

That was the first Indycar race that me and my wife watched together.

She still has some trouble watching them now even.

Yeah it's a shame that happened, that was going to be one hell of a race! I wish IndyCar would go back there now with the new car.

Wow, really nice the new look of the Chevy aero pack. Now starting to look like an real racecar ever since that IRL pack with the ugliest nose existed, from 2003-04 up to this new car.

How far fetched is it that Indycar will reach that level again? :D

Brilliant video, I never realised how awesome Indycar racing was back then, you tend to only hear about the Indy 500's of the time

There have been a few occasions when I have missed having Randy Bernard in charge. Not as many as I thought I would, but a few.

Now is one of them, simply because with the current state of F1 he would have his foot so far up Bernie's arse he could use his stomach lining as a shoe buffer.

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.

Season ending at Sonoma? That would suck, I want the finale on an oval, always drama for the championship in an oval race.

Nevermind Sonoma, but season ending in august again? What the fuck is wrong with these people? I try to understand the financial difficulties they go through but seriously 6-7 months of no racing and exposure seems a great way to drive sponsors and fans away...

Remember, this is the lot that got rid of someone for having too many good ideas.
