Grand Prix Rejects

Fake retweets from Ashley Judd are appearing on twitter, sayiing that Dan has died, but she never posted anything of the sort.
Still awaiting further info from IndyCar.

JohnMLTX

Tha- Huh- ah... oh my god... Cynon, that feel, after this and Greg Moore, just... Damn. I hope to god that Dan is ok.... And Dario won points in my book for not even mentioning the championship at all, I legitimately thought he might at least say it was anticlimactic or something of that sort, but a...

The two ChampCars aren't 2005, they're the 2007 Panoz DP-01s.

JohnMLTX

...you just found this? It's been in the news across the states for several years now. I went to the last event at Texas Motor Speedway to watch, planning to go next time as a driver.

JohnMLTX

Honestly, with the new car coming in, I'll be amazed if the Captain keeps three cars unless Simona de Silvestro's cash is enough to resurrect the #6 car. Yes, you heard me right. Simona de Silvestro as a legitimate candidate to drive for Roger Penske. I think I mentioned it here already though... D...

I picked up a pair of free tickets to the Vegas finale at Texas a month ago, now I have to decide 1) if it's worth going, and 2) how I'm going to get out of school.

JohnMLTX

I must add, Roger Penske apparently heard about the penalty for Franchitti through the race director radio feed, making the lack of penalty seem like a massive coverup. Conspiracy Theorists, you know what to do about this.

JohnMLTX

I stumbled across this little piece of whatever: http://bleacherreport.com/tb/baaLN

No idea how reputable the source is, but my gut tells me it's bathplugging garbage.

JohnMLTX

Just wondering, with Brian Herta's team and Dan Whelden employed to develop the 2012 package, will this have an impact on them entering the 2012 championship? They might after all be perceived as having a significant, (perhaps even an unfair) advantage, real or not...... Maybe, but this is a series...

Within the past 3 minutes, the resolutions concerning the Circuit of the Americas and the US Grand Prix passed 5-2 in the Austin City Council.

JohnMLTX

As I believe I did last year, I must cast my vote for Fox Broadcasting once again, as their coverage of the race on american television began at 11AM CST. That means the race started showing here two hours after it ended. I know I'm just bitter, but eh, there wasn't much to this race once again. At ...

JohnMLTX

Guys! I can be like Vettel, too!........ Guys?.....................Guys?

JohnMLTX

I MUST add this comment. In the US, FOX kept showing the race, even showing empty red-flagged track. It didn't move over to SPEED and interrupt the Continental Tire Whatevertheycallits race, no, it stayed on FOX and interrupted several hours of midday broadcasting, along with some paid programming. ...

JohnMLTX

Honestly, I bathplugging loved both races. Some really unlikely people were up there mixing it with the title contenders, like Sato and, imho the man who was most impressive all night, Mr. E.J. Viso. And, to top it all off, the random draw set the field up for loads of fantastic passes and battles. ...

JohnMLTX

OK, I'm going to the Twin 275s tomorrow, and I'm incredibly excited. Sato starting 4th, Tags on pole, Power 3rd, looks to be a fantastic pair of races. Also, at the autograph event held at a Dallas Macy's store, I got Takuma Sato to sign my Super Aguri shirt, and then got a picture with him! [img=ht...

I never thought I would ever say this:

At this rate, I'm going to miss the current spec Dallara-Honda kit. Today really rocked, and that car's final season is proving to be pretty awesome.

HWNSNBM has won the Le Mans 24 hour race 666 times in just less than a second from the Hungaroring, on an unicycle, blindfolded, using just one leg, whilst playing the Hungarian national anthem on both a guitar & a flute simultaneously with his hands behind his back and taking Gianmaria Bruni f...

Vettel, too.

JohnMLTX

Only thing I hate are those stupid rear fender-thingies on the cars, but I'll live with it. Sorry Cynon, but I gotta get up on my soapbox here. Those fenders are there to prevent cars from getting launched when they touch tires, a la Mark Webber in Valencia, Mike Conway at Indy, Fabio Leimer in Ist...

JohnMLTX

SATO IS LEADING!!! SATO IS LEADING! AND NOT JUST ON PIT STOPS, HE GOT AROUND WILL POWER INTO TURN 1!

He's got 2 SECONDS on Viso in 2nd, and it's a KV 1-2! WOW!

The last time they only had a letter of intent for a race less than 2 years off was the never-realized Indy Grand Prix of Turks and Caicos on Grand Turk. The track was never even built. Um, Champ Car in South Korea and China... and later, the Phoenix Champ Car race in 2007 that was forcibly closed ...

May 1st is upon us, and I'ven't seen any decision on the running of the "real" Bahrain Grand Prix. Is it safe to assume it's been officially canned for this year?

JohnMLTX

OK, with the race getting red-flagged AGAIN and postponed to tomorrow, I feel we may need to give this one the 2011 Bahrain GP treatment.

HWNSNBM once won the Oscar for best movie soundtrack. With a silent film.

Of course I choose this to be my first live Indycar race. Sky Sports filler is pretty much unbearable. Not as bad as versus. 20 minutes of Danica interviews and counting; clips from damn near every day ever run at Indy with Robin Miller ranting in the background, and random commercials. EDIT: Final...

THIS HAS BEEN THE GREATEST SPECTACLE IN MOTORSPORT.

15 SPINS AND CRASHES IN THE FIRST 8 LAPS.

FFS, IndyCar. You need to stop holding races in the rainforest during the rainy season at the time of day when there is a 110% chance of FLOODING.

JohnMLTX

Dr. Baker, you win.

Oh, god, by the end of the race, there were no fewer than 4 cars just sitting on the edge of the circuit. Bourdais' car remained just off to the side in pit lane. I mean, seriously, is it that hard to get an indycar behind the wall? But, I must say, the broadcast wasn't that bad. Sure, it wasn't the...

JohnMLTX

I know this goes against what many people are saying, but to me, the Jenson Button thing looked intentional. From my perpective, the McLaren mechanics had set up further back than normal, and the Red Bull mechanics further forward. The gap between was pretty small, and IMHO he probably just didn't w...

JohnMLTX

Great pictures, but Gastathan, the title's a bit... awkward?

JohnMLTX

IMO, I loved today's race, and would like to see this level of excitement more often. The new rules combined with the drivers all growing a pair has really made F1 glorious.

JohnMLTX

Marco Andretti got major points in my book for once for saying that the crash with Bourdais was entirely his fault and apologizing in a non-marco-like manor. If only this was the rule and not the exception...

Ana Beatriz is channeling the spirit of Lucas Di Grassi today.

1. Webber- Drove out of his bathplugging skull. Amazing fights on tract, and brilliant tyre stints a la Hungary last year. Aussie Grit all the way!!! 2. Kovalainen - Squeezed every drop of speed out of his car, and really proved his talent IMO. These may be the first signs of Lotus reaching the midf...

Could someone please explain this complicated quali system in terms I can understand? Thanks. No Probalo, bro. The cars are randomly drawn into 2 groups. From there, the first group gets 15 minutes to set a time. After that, it's the second group's turn. Then, the top 6 from each group are put in t...

I vote for formula 1.
Everything has really gone to hell in a handbasket this weekend already.

From what I remember, they planned to launch everything this summer, and start racing around October/November.
