Does anyone think all this charter bullshit was spear headed by Rahal because of that happened at the Indy 500 last year? I think Rahal and his dad lost a shit ton of money when they didn't make the race and now suddenly they are all talking about guaranteed spots in the Indy 500.

Also when Prema announced their entry Rahal went on record bitching that series didn't need new teams and used the "supply chain issues" line as a cover for the fact that more entires means more cars likely to put him out of the Indy 500.


You worked really hard to find something to moan about today, we are all impressed.

The teams have wanted charters for a long time. Andretti was vocal about it a few years ago. And guaranteed 500 spots won't be included.

--------------

Legge the fastest of the slow 4. Siegel still the favourite to get bumped.

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.

charters aside, Indycar still must address the elephant in the room, the racing product is getting poorer with a focus on saving fuel and so, also fine tune the package to make cars run better on road courses

The racing is fine. There have been 4 championship races, 3 of them were a bit processional and those 3 are almost always processional. The tyres will start wearing out as they should from Mid-Ohio.

This is starting to shape up for a surprise Siegel bump on Rahal.

Kanaan standing by Siegel, trying to help is just great. Not that we didn't already know that, but the guy is awesome.

Looks like the Fast 6 will be Penske, Rossi, Larson and Ferrucci.

I like McLaughlin and Power, and I want to enjoy the impressive performance Penske is putting on, but I'm struggling.

He was given the white a lap early or is the timing screen off?
