tail wagging the dog syndrome, but the speed isn't as high so it's not so disastrous as it is on the ovals.
of the video's I saw of the Sebring tests, the car acts the exact same way on the road courses as it does on the big ovals, i.e. tail wagging dog on corner entry & squatting arse down on exit.

The car still suffers from an extreme rear weight bias and is reportedly tricky to drive on high-speed ovals. But, as Indy car legend Rick Mears wondered, what's wrong with that?

"So it's not planted and completely stable," Mears said. "Haven't we been complaining that the outgoing car was too planted and stable? That my ex-wife's mother-in-law could jump in one and keep up with the pack?

"The new car really brings the teams back into the equation in a big way," Mears continued. "Some of these teams have never gone through the hard work of developing a new car. You can call it teething troubles or new car blues or whatever. We used to experience it all the time when we brought out a new car every year. The biggest teams aren't always going to be the ones that get it right and there could be some surprising results.

"It's going to shake things up and make IndyCar a lot more interesting."


But apparently not Milka :D

His ex wife's mother in law? Wait wouldn't that be his mom? Of course Rick Mears mom would be faster then Milka.

That's actually an Easter Egg on the 1980s Indy 500 Legacy Series DVD.

Oh well. Unfortunately, this means that the only American driver in the field that casuals will care about is Marco Andretti.

She's made her bed so to speak, if I were running Indycar, I'd tell her she's welcome back when she's fedup with having her arse handed to her by the good old boys, but until then, not to bother even thinking about it, there's plenty more where she came from willing to fill that "lead girl" void.

Would be ironic if one of the other girls won Indy this year.

maybe it's because I haven't experienced the US media hyping her to the point of people hating her but I wouldn't mind handling her ass
