A couple guys have touched 190 today for average lap speeds. On a one mile track.

Holy crap.

And that's with the reduced horsepower they run on ovals compared to road courses.

Speaking of which, Will Power wants them to slap on the superspeedway wings and run the road course horsepower levels:

I remember when they ran the superspeedway wings in Nazareth and Gateway in CART. I wonder how Power would handle those cars.

As a side note KVSH confirmed Bourdais for a year. Didn't even know that was an issue....

Low DF at Nazareth worked very well, they couldn't pass for a damn.

I love Phoenix so much <3

anyone has a camera-car video?

There isn't a recent one on YouTube, but Conor Daly posted a 3/4's of a lap on Instagram.

The only one with the DW12 chassis/post reconfiguration was Hildebrand from when he was at Panther

Have we seen a map of the Boston track yet?

From indylights.com:

Anybody had a read through this?

I wonder if it's just smoke, or if we are in for another cock up this may. I believe the latter, but maybe I'm too pessimistic being used to the way IndyCar managed and ran things the last couple of years.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Nobody has a clue what the hell they are doing. Just throwing shit at the wall until something sticks.

yeah they released it awhile back last year, somewhat like Monaco with a tunnel turn

rumor going around that Maldonaldo could be racing the #20 for Carpenter on the road courses.

#20 currently not on the Entry List for St. Pete

also COYNE DIDN'T HIRE TBA THIS YEAR

Maybe he could have taken a chance with the great Mark Plourde?

jesus what you just reminded me of

Maldanado and Ed Carpenter in the same team.

Not so much the stuff of nightmares as subject of the interrogation scene in a clockwork orange.

at least Maldonado will run at least in road courses, which could give a lot of yakety sax moments

If Maldonado does get the seat, it's a good job that he'd only be doing the road courses. The thought of him on an oval...
