Your cars are 4 of the last 5 and the only one guaranteed a start in the race is the 40 something Brit who hasn't run the race in a decade.

It is go fast time. Fast 12 will run once with 6 eliminated, last row shoot out with 1 car going home, then Fast 6 go one more time for pole. Chat here or in the discord!

So what did RLL to do put themselves in this spot? Any reason in particular they're so slow?

PotatoJudge posted:So what did RLL to do put themselves in this spot? Any reason in particular they're so slow? They've run the same speed the last 3 years with largely the same cars. I think everyone else has increased mechanical grip in the shock package which lets you peel off downforce, reduce drag, add speed, and reduced parasitic mechanical losses in the gearbox, differential, etc. There are a million other small things teams do to reduce weight and drag (replace every single steel or aluminum bolt or nut with titanium, fill every single crack with filler before the wrap, contour the actual bolt heads with air flow etc), but RLL's problems aren't those little things imo. I personally think its mostly the gearbox and mechanical losses.

I will admit I have not paid close attention to 500 quals in the past, but I really liked the format this weekend. Lotta quick cars out there. Hoping for a good race. Thanks for the effort post above on the issues with Rahal Letterman

Did anybody even spin in qualis? What happened to the days of trimming out almost all the downforce and using just the breath of baby Jesus to get you through your qualification laps?

There were several runs over the weekend where the cars were clearly on the absolute razor's edge. I think the weekend being clean was a combo of all the dice rolls working out and most of the field being legit good divers, which did not use to be the case.

Sato and McLaughlin at various times very nearly hit the wall where the safer barrier fades into concrete. There's a clip of Scotty on youtube but I only saw the one of Takuma on the video boards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1XNCoZWEUA Canapino actually did smack it, and then somehow managed to keep it from spinning. Dude is gonna be great once he learns the car more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isNzFaKFqS8

Wilson medically out of the race. Presumably while Rahal's car is out he could in theory take a drive in Wilson's ride if offered. Legge doing her teammate a solid there if so.

seemed to me like graham wouldn't want to take someone else's seat based on his comments anyway

Buy, no. Take when it's offered to him, apparently yes. He just got announced as the replacement driver in the 24.
