VikingSkull posted:this is actually true, the Wood Bros really did revolutionize Indy pit stops, teams were doing ~50 second stops and they cut it to 20 Explain how they did this. Keeping in mind that: a) The Firestone compounds that year were so hard that cars completed the race without changing tires b) The Wood Bros. only had experience with gas cans in NASCAR, while the new Indy rules required gravity-fed fuel tanks & hoses. and c) The Wood Bros. only appeared on race day. The fuel tanks & hoses were installed by the Lotus mechanics earlier in the month. dsriggs fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Apr 27, 2017 |

VikingSkull posted:also there was a reason Ford sent them there and also had them help with the Le Mans program, unless you think that Ford wasn't really serious about racing in the 60's and weren't interested in providing the best tools available to their teams. the Woods literally did the same thing to pit stops in NASCAR, as well It was a PR exercise by Ford after a pitstop the year before. Both Lotus cars were given 2 sets of tires for the race after being assured by Dunlop technicians that their tires would last 250+ miles under race conditions. They planned to have 3 stops for fuel with the 2nd stop being a tire change as well. Gurney came in at around 50 laps in & the Lotus team was ready for a fuel stop, only to see flat spots & chunking in the tires. They realised they couldn't make the distance, and took time to work out what to do with the tires, settling on changing to new ones & seeing what happened. The IMS Radio Network didn't know this & accused the Lotus mechanics of being amateurs who "don't seem to understand what pitstops are for" and were "having a spot of tea" during the stop. This was picked up by newspaper reporters using the radio broadcast for assistance. Much embarrassment for Ford, who insisted that people who knew how to do pitstops were sent to Indy the following year. The change in tire compounds & fueling rules made the change largely irrelevant. e: it was Gurney, not Clark. dsriggs fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Still can't believe that Grace Autosport gave themselves A YEAR to set-up an Indy entry, then a couple of weeks before practice said "Oops, we forgot to get an engine, we're not racing". Embarrassing.

Kinda funny after all the "ALONSO P1 AFTER FIRST PRACTICE!!! IT'S SO EASY!" posts F1 fans made on social media, he's scrubbing around in 20th, 3+mph off the pace.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remark on how awful Pippa Mann's run was. Ed Jones qualified 10th, Bourdais probably would've put it on the pole, she was 2+mph slower than Lazier.
