big nipples big life posted:Don't the trucks race there this weekend? yep, that would explain it. also for anyone that is looking for more racing, apparently the RedBull TV website/app will have Super Formula coverage live. Not sure if they'll have on-demand versions too, but it's more speedy open-wheelers that aren't Formula 1  [edit] vvvvv crucially for me, Red Bull is advertising I can watch it free in Japan, which I can't really do with The Race on YouTube. harperdc fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Aug 29, 2020 |

The best part of race 2 at Gateway was when they did a "First Responders" parade which was 95% cops from Missouri and Illinois with like two ambulances in the back. Everyone around us was cheering for them, so when they came by the start/finish line I put my hands up and yelled "Don't Shoot!" Anyway, I'll have a three piece chicken tenders with a biscuit.

That Braden Eves crash in Indy Pro 2000! I don't think I've seen a flip on the road course before, let alone int the middle of the Road to Indy ladder.

that was a bizarre crash. like, he touched his left front into the right rear of the guy in front, spun, and then his left rear wheel came off which sent him into the air? what? i don't understand.

They said he was reporting a vibration for at least half the lap prior, hard to tell with the camera work but I didn't think he made contact elsewhere, though he and Petrov got close at turn 1 at some point. A mechanical failure maybe? Slight damage that got worse over time? No idea. Edit: Reported right rear vibration, left rear came off. Even more ???

Vasukhani posted:dude almost died He put out a video the other day from his hospital bed while wearing a neck brace. Dude fractured his neck in a few places and his right eye socket, definitely out for the season at least. I still don't get what caused the wreck, but I hope they throw halos on these RTI cars for next year. I thought the halo/aeroscreen looked kinda bad and fundamentally altered the "classic look" of open wheel cars when they were first being introduced, but at this point a halo is practically invisible to me and I'd rather move forward with safety than not if it can keep up and coming drivers from experiencing life-altering injuries.

The last thing I remember Marco doing is surprising everyone with a pole position at Detroit in 2018. This Indy 500 pole is likely the high water mark for him. Six poles (?) and two wins in his whole Indycar career, spanning 15 years. And it's been a decade since that last win. I've never been a fan, but I can see how *~*tHe AnDrEtTi nAmE*~* sometimes pulls people in to cheer for him when he makes a few good moves. I think his time is done though, and would love to see someone else get a shot in that ride rather than watching Marco spend another decade floundering at the tail end of the points standings. Make way for Kirkwood in 2022 imo.

Marco is really bad when you realize he's had access to equipment his whole entire life to develop race craft and just... didn't.

i like marco and hope he races forever cause he adds a car to the grid if nothing else. he at least runs ok sometimes, lest we forget some of the backmarkers of years past (Duno/Roth/Boss/Dracone/Vitolo)

Who comes closest to Marco's career stats? Marco: quote:3 Indy Lights wins Alex Tagliani: quote:6 Atlantics wins A very good driver that scraped together good results with above-average racing teams. Compare to Marco who has always been on a top racing team, or at worst the best B-tier equipment at worst in AA's off years. So maybe not that far off? Can anyone think of another driver who has a similar career arc to Marco Andretti? Because we're not sitting here poo-pooing on someone like Tagliani's career even though he has similar results. Maybe the Andretti curse is just having the same name as your father and grandfather and being in the unfortunate position of only being a decent driver instead of a good or great one.

Rahal before 2015 would've probably been a decent comparison. Cogan is another guy I thought of. Multiple years at Patrick / Penske / etc yielded 1 win, 7 podiums, and 2 poles. Also numerous hilarious chokejobs at Indy, although '82 may not have been his fault. Servia's been around forever with 1 (kind of gifted) win, but has usually been on mediocre teams. Did very well on good teams when he replaced Junqueira at NH and his season with Forsythe. hunnert car pileup fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Drivers like Graham Rahal and James Hinchcliffe, who have a half dozen wins each in the series over their careers, are commonly considered to be journeymen, and no better. Comparatively, Marco's been in top equipment his whole career and hasn't managed to match their success. I would argue that Marco has shown flashes of speed or skill only a handful of times in his 14 years. This is a driver who has had more time and opportunity than most ever do to learn and grow in the sport with one of the best teams around him the entire time. The end result? A decade long dry spell. It seems like so many drivers in Indycar (or other top level series for that matter) only get a year or two to prove themselves, and if they don't pull off something great in that time, they get kicked to the curb before they really even have the chance to learn. Young drivers trying to make a name for themselves in a bad car are screwed from the start, and even veterans who are still capable of championship contention and race wins get led off behind the shed to IMSA or whatever at a certain point. Marco sucks because he has had everything in the world going for him and he never got good. It's a horrible waste of that seat.
