Reynold posted:Dinner with Racers is an excellent podcast. They did a two-parter with Mario Andretti that I really liked, interviewed Robin Miller, etc. Definitely recommended listening. I've only listened to the first few so far (Pumpelly, Varsha and Legge) but this does remind me I wanted to ask a question. Katherine was asked who her worst teammate was and without the slightest hesitation she said Bourdais and called him a dochebag. They didn't really expand on it past that point, does anyone know if there's any specific reasoning there? harperdc posted:Chilton was with Carlin forever in Europe and I believe his family (brother Tom and sponsor/father) also have ties with Carlin. His father has been part owner of the team since 2009 yes. Wirth1000 posted:Any podcast that features Mario Andretti has always been fantastic. The breadth of his racing experience, all of his stories, surviving that era of F1 and racing in general, the emotion in his voice whenever he brings up Ronnie Peterson... Mario ambled into the booth during one of the Indy 500 practice days (or it might even have been Alonso's test). Either way it was just a beautiful thing to listen to him talk.

Reynold posted:My understanding is that they fired her before her contract was up and tried to site her performance and lack of racing ability in general, and the team got Bourdais to go along with it and make public statements along those lines. He basically threw her under the bus. If there was more reason than that, I didn’t catch it. Makes sense, and is entirely unfair given they signed her for a full season, dropped the Lotus, could only get 1 chevy and then proceeded to dump her with just the remaining 4 ovals after Indy.

IOwnCalculus posted:Gonna be edgy and say Danica DNS. Given that she hasn't even found a Daytona ride yet, I don't think any Indycar owners are tripping over themselves to give her a car she's never driven. The fact she announced she was doing those races without the first clue how pretty much tells you everything you need to know about her in general really.

CBJSprague24 posted:Truth be told, I figured it was a done deal/almost done when she said she was doing it and would've guessed Ganassi given he's the only owner who could give her competitive rides in both races. Yeah, it's incredibly arrogant to just assume people will line up to give you a ride. I assumed SHR were going to run her in at least Daytona but clearly that's not happening.

The best part of LeMans broadcasts was Lena getting angry at people 5 times her size in the Audi pits. That's a huge win for SSM and Hinchtown.

Cygni posted:Demelo and Fittipaldi officially splitting the 19 for the year, with Paysafe staying the sponsor all year. Demelo will take 10 races (assumedly the non-ovals?) and Fittipaldi the other 7 (assumedly the ovals plus one more?) Any reason you're assuming the guy from the series that runs ovals will do road courses and the guy from the series with no ovals will do ovals?

Cygni posted:I don’t know if Komen is a scam as much as it’s just a waste of money. “Awareness” and all. Pippa doesn’t take any money from any of them though, her family is ultra loaded. They raised last year about 1% of what it costs to run the car, I presume Pippa's paying to actually run the thing.

The argument for closing the pits was demonstrated by F1 (which doesn't) this weekend where the timing of the safety car essentially handed the race to Ricciardo and Red Bull. Of course those things will probably even out.

The obvious answer is for Coyne to put DeMelo in the car I guess.

KingShibby posted:Considering you can bring in your own water/food, I honestly don't think that's too much money. Especially for a once a year event. But then again since I decided to not have a bunch of kids and have discretionary income I guess that makes me privileged It isn't, if you have the attachment to go out there. Which it's difficult to get if you weren't allowed to see it on TV until the news and latterly, the internet had already ruined for it.

Feels Villeneuve posted:I'm fairly sure it's just a guy who owns a lot of Ferrari dealerships, kind of like the old Andy Evans Scandia team that ran like 69 cars in the 1996 Indy 500 before he ran out of money. (I always assumed he was some kind of fraud figure but apparently he had legit 90s Silicon Valley boom money that he pretty much squandered on racing) I thought you were kidding but no joke he actually ran 7 loving cars in that event. Got them all into the race too.

harperdc posted:That popped up a bit around the Canadian GP, but now that Force India are in administration, I’m expecting to hear some good rumors. Wonder where the cash would come from in that case, though. Force India has run very close on budget, but even in administration, purchasing the team would be $100mil or more, surely? More, you'd need $100m just to make up for the prize money that's currently being stolen from them.
