IndyCar didn't go to China because they suck at bringing capitalism down in London Qingdao was more interested in a beer festival than a major North American automobile race.

So IndyCar said "fuck that, we're heading to the Bay Area."

And thus, here we are, with 15 drivers still eligible to win the title (although more than likely it'll come down to RHR and Will Power with Pagenaud and Hinchcliffe trolling) and there's three races left and two of them roadies.

Also, new(ish) layout.

I want this to end up being RHR and Power neck and neck going into the last laps in California.

I really really want Ryan to get this years' title.

^^^ im with you. im sick of it being penske and ganassi every year. also im excited about this race cuz its been a while since the last one but im still kinda iffy on this track producing a good race even with the new cars

The 5 races in 5 weekends from Indy onwards has made the season go really quick

Feels like they should just be warming up to some classic circuits about now.

Road America, Laguna Seca, they were always around this time in the schedule, it hurts to see another year skip by without a race at those places...

*sigh* Memories...

The 2002 CART season had 21 races

And traction control, so it sucked compared to the 2001 season...

yeah 2001 was the last good season of CART.

And the mandatory pit windows which I always felt harmed the racing.

Oh god yeah, awful decision....

When will people learn pit stops ruin racing and the key to good action is to have as few as possible...

Pit windows in Champcar was complete bullshit....they came in because they were tired of those random lottery wins when someone comes off strategy because they're having a race then lucks into a victory because of the amount of Safety Cars..
.
Those were the BEST races! Idiots!

looks like the new turn 7 will be good for some crossovers

Power on pole. Bourdais starting 3rd.

at least Sonoma is also a good track, imo. But surely I would love to have Indycar in Road America again.

So the race is at 21:30 central european?
