iospace posted:Which leads me to ask the rest of the thread, how much would you be willing to pay for it? MotoGP’s Pass is amazing and about $170 for a full season/$24 per month. The WEC Pass has been $40 per season the last few years, with races ala carte including Le Mans. Somewhere in-between is fine with me, but only if it’s region-free. If NBC is insisting on region blocks, then I’ll continue hoping that DAZN picks up IndyCar coverage in Japan (it’s $15 per month and has European and Japanese soccer, Japanese and MLB baseball, and F1).

Is Buddy fully confirmed? The last I heard, they still needed some more sponsor money and a new tub, though it's still "early" for them right now relative to when they usually get this sorted out.

Buddy is probably "mostly confirmed". JR hasnt been confirmed yet, but will be. So 34-35 at the moment. And theres rumors of a 36th engine available, a 17th Chevy, with Harding and Foyt supposedly close on snagging it.

So there was supposed to be IMS Oval testing next week but due to the expected bad weather it's being postponed. I plan on driving down for the Mon 4/30 open test, should be a good day for those in the Indy area to call in sick

http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/148267-belli-encouraged-by-indycar-safety-upgrades-after-sato-crashquote:The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver slid high in Turn 2, hit the wall with the right side of his No. 30 Honda, then veered across the track and hit the inside wall at a high rate of speed before sliding all the way down to Turn 3, where another slight impact was made before the battered car came to a halt near the middle of Turns 3 and 4.

Where's a good place to sit for the Indy GP? I wasn't planning on going to any races this year but my girlfriend is graduating in Illinois and I found out out her college is less than two hours from Indy. Now we'll be there on May 12th with the afternoon free. Seats near turn 1 or 14 seem like they would be a good bet or is wandering around the infield with general admission the way to go? Also how much time should I set aside for the museum? I'm pretty excited, I haven't been to a race since Detroit in 2015.

I wasn't planning on going to any races this year but my girlfriend is graduating in Illinois and I found out out her college is less than two hours from Indy. Now we'll be there on May 12th with the afternoon free. I've sat in both northwest and southwest vistas, and I think I preferred the northwest vista for turn 1, but it's a bit of a walk from everything else. This year we're in the paddock penthouse, so we'll see how that looks. I'm not optimistic but everyone else wanted to sit in the shade. The museum is cool, setting aside an hour or so for a decent walk through it is reasonable. Also I got four extra tickets in that there northwest vista deck I'm trying to part with at a discount, shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Makes me wish there was any public documentation of what tubs were owned by who. I'm guessing this one must have taken a nasty hit to be turned into a show car.

IIRC the original concept of the new body had the number placed on that aero bit behind the sidepod and in front of the rear wheel, IMO they should go back to that. Wing numbers are just stupid on the speedway wings, and sidepod numbers are nicely old-school in an early-80s CART way. e) this one

I miss sidepod numbers, the engine cover numbers were OK, as were the IRL's airbox numbers, but I hated when everyone switched to rear wing numbers. phwoar

Truesports were such a good team. They might have rivaled Penske in professionalism in the 80s, it's a testament that they and Rahal were able to drag a mediocre Judd-Honda to third in points in 1988 after they got hosed out of an engine deal as punishment for dallying with Ferrari.* If Ferrari had actually entered, they couldn't have picked a better partner to do it with than Truesports. Then again, Patrick/Nunn were a great team too and they couldn't do poo poo with the March/Alfa. *in retrospect, the poo poo Cosworth/Ilmor pulled with Truesports in '88 and Patrick in 1992 foreshadowed what would end up being one part of what killed CART, the power the engine suppliers had over the series. Then again, Patrick might have deserved it for allegedly sending an Ilmor engine to Alfa's engine guys. You can put in the poo poo the CART teams did to kick Porsche out of the sport as well.

Looking for some advice about Mid-Ohio. What all can you see/where can you go with a paddock pass, and is it better to get the Grandstand seats or general admission and walk around?

Fun fact, the lap records in pcars2 at Le Mans for the indycars are within a couple of seconds between the two aero kits, speedway and road course. I wish pcars2 had classic le mans to kill myself crashing at Maison Blanche in a speedway car

Apparently Long Beach ticket sales are up 6% from last year, which was up about the same from the year prior, etc. They had 85k for raceday last year, so this year could be 90k+. I think that will be the biggest crowd since the early 2000s.
