I remember Michael Schumacher saying years ago that drivers have to be crazy to race open wheel at Indy 500 - There is no run-off - nothing...
I remember one year Formula 1 drivers boycotted right before of the race because of tire compound and safety issues - They never went back - They left the fans sitting in their seats...F1 now races at the beautiful COTA in the U.S. Last edited by Dylan; 05-28-2017 at 11:29 AM.. |

Wow, IndyCar is garbage!
I keep turning the channel - When I turn back to Indy, there is a safety car on the track. The only reason I am watching is to see two-time F1 champion Alonso sit in that God-awful IndyCar. This is the first time Alonso has stepped into an IndyCar and he is running second with a bad road crew - Looks like his pit crew are rookies - no? Oh boy, bad restart for Alonso and he drops to P12 - Could spell trouble for Alonso now he is in a pack that races like amateurs. God Bless Alonso come back to Formula 1 - This sport is way beneath his racing talent...Oops another caution. Too bad McLaren Honda F1 car sucks - This is the reason Alonso did not race in Monaco today and hopped into a Honda IndyCar. When does the racing start? Oh Lord, car parts flying in the air again... Rant over. |

Another Honda is out of the race -
With all these cars stopping and starting - Hard to pick a winner... Alonso on the move! Putting on a clinic ... Save yourself Alonso, IndyCar is not worth your life. |

OMG! Alonso engine blew!
Honda! OMG - Alonso HATES Honda...Just like he hates driving for McLaren-Honda in F1. EDIT: Wow, 5-car crash! Open wheel should never race on this track - What a cluster. The back fillers are now leading... Yikes. Come On Sato! Win this race...! Former F1 driver Let's go Sato! Beat those IndyCar boys! Last edited by Dylan; 05-28-2017 at 01:58 PM.. |

Congratulations Sato! Happy for him...He did not see it coming...Former Formula 1 driver wins the Indy500. IndyCar is pretty exciting when they are not crashing out. Hey, eDave! Happy Memorial Day! |

My live report from Indy:
*Worst crash I've seen there in 30 years. Shocked Dixon survived. *Awesome for Sato *Alonso is a f**** stud. Looked to the crowd after getting out, raised his arms and got a standing O |

It was a ferocious impact - Remarkably, the drivers survived a spine chilling moment. As for Alonso, he performed brilliantly. It was amazing how quickly he learned the finer points of racing on an oval track. It was a shame - He was going strong battling with one of the fastest average lap times in P6, with twenty laps to go and Honda's engine fails. How ironic - McLaren-Honda's power units in F1 have been a complete failure. It was an exciting race.The battle between Sato and Castroneves went right to the wire - Nice to see Sato win a historic race. What a great race to watch live. Caution, Caution is out - Harvick hits the wall - Takes out Al Bundy's favorite driver, Kasey Kahne got to go... Best, D. |
