Doesn’t mean much when all it takes in the playoffs is 1 great race to go on

[random violet]

in alot of racing things i do

you have to be consistent

the playoffs are so booty

Before I headed out of @TheThermalClub tonight, I checked on @PREMA_Team still working on the car. & impressively @shwartzmanrob was working w/ them! I asked if they needed anything & one of the crew guys said “Ice Cream” - so I found some and brought it back! Choc & Vanilla.

It always is worthwhile to watch NASCAR at Homestead.

All three series deliver hell of great races there.

And I will use this opportunity to argue that it should come back as the season finale.

[unique trout]

Yeah the xfinity race was great (I definitely didn't sleep through it whoops)

I will watch the cup race too tho

I'm guessing Thermal Club won't be that great

Holy. Shit.

[uneven coral]

When is the Green flag for Homestead?

I’ll be tuning in as early 3 PM track time, but it’s better to know when.

[unreal thorn]

I'm watching IndyCar and hoping I can do an Indy-NASCAR multiview in YouTube TV

Wishing for another McLaren win in Indy

[serene bear]

I have a question

Does the Thermal Club give points this year?

Or it's just the money prize?

[marble willow]

Points

It's a championship round now

[serene bear]

Ohh

Thanks

[unique trout]

Lets see which will be more boring, China or Thermal Club

[fading prawn]

Homestead in the other hand, surely must be a banger.

[unique trout]

This will be the first nascar race i'll try to watch in full

[fading prawn]

Good luck!

[marble willow]

Wow, I'm surprised Max Papis was Alex Rossi's favorite driver as a kid

[fading prawn]

I'll start blasting my eurobeat now.

[uneven coral]

My arse is not watching IndyCar @ Thermal.

[fading prawn]

That might just enhance the racing

[fading prawn]

Nascar at homestead tho.

[uneven coral]

Yeah, now that's a banger.

IndyCar at Thermal will be a bore.

[fading prawn]

NASCAR IS GOOOOO!

Bowman continues to lead Berry

[marble willow]

Command's been given for Indycar

Oh well

[fading prawn]

Blaney attacking for second straight away

[foggy fulcrum]

no way they clash

[marble willow]

They clash

Sadly

[foggy fulcrum]

same fucking network and they STILL CLASH

[marble willow]

And FOX is broadcasting the Indycar race

[fading prawn]

Blaney already second!

[marble willow]

Well, might as well be the only one here who's gonna watch the Indycar race.

[uneven coral]

I think the NASCAR race is broadcasted on FS1?

[marble willow]

Have fun y'all

[foggy fulcrum]

it is

[uneven coral]

And IndyCar on Fox Sports?

[fading prawn]

I am.

[foggy fulcrum]

main FOX i'd assume

[fading prawn]

Larson in the wall!

Barely!

[foggy fulcrum]

FS1 is Fox Sports lol

[fading prawn]

He got away with it.

Blaney attacking Bowman!

He takes over the lead!

(Y'all, Nascar is actually being awesome, where are y'all?)

[foggy fulcrum]

you know what Blaney starts with?

[marble willow]

i'm being a bore and watching indycar

[foggy fulcrum]

wtf is thermal btw

[marble willow]

don't mind me

[fading prawn]

Briscoe past Gragson!

[uneven coral]

GO ON Mar-... oh. 🙁

I miss him.

[fading prawn]

I do too.

[marble willow]

Eh, some track used by rich guys to drive around on or something

[uneven coral]

Quite essentially a track day track.

[marble willow]

And ALEX PALOU WINS THE RACE!

Ok, see y'all

wtf is this layout

[fading prawn]

My brain after a bullet has gone through it.

[foggy fulcrum]

bro that pitlane??

[fading prawn]

For Indy

[marble willow]

palou vs lundgaard

ericsson goes wide

mclaren barely manages to stay 1-2

[fading prawn]

LARSON RUBBING AGAINST THE WALL YET AGAIN

[marble willow]

one of the premas in trouble

[fading prawn]

Briscoe attacking Berry

[foggy fulcrum]

mclaughlin goes round

oh no.

[fading prawn]

McLaughlin got hit

[marble willow]

thanks, devlin defrancesco

ilott damage

and ilott's in the pits.

prema once again getting the short end of the stick.

[uneven coral]

I keep forgetting that Blaney didn't win a race yet this season.

That could change for today though!

[fading prawn]

Could change, he's leading after all.

Well, took the words off my mouth.

[marble willow]

o'ward extending his lead

[foggy fulcrum]

as usually he's found 5 different ways to lose em instead lmao

[marble willow]

defrancesco drive through

[fading prawn]

BERRY VS BRISCOE

[uneven coral]

Go on CHASE!

[fading prawn]

Power just about avoided disaster.

[marble willow]

penske's still shit out of luck for this race

[unreal thorn]

You know the Ferrari meme I made

I also made one for Blaney

[foggy fulcrum]

in 2025??

[uneven coral]

Only need Byron and Bell in here.

[unreal thorn]

He's been unlucky this year

[foggy fulcrum]

Ryan Blaney didn't even get to win his own championship race

[unique trout]

Somehow the Thermal Club is weirdly more entertaining than St Pete so far

Idk for sure tho

[fading prawn]

Chaos.

That's why.

[marble willow]

Don't be too sure of it

[unreal thorn]

I'm happy that two McLarens are in front for Thermal

[foggy fulcrum]

He's had hilariously unlucky races routinely since 2022

[marble willow]

anyways, Alex Palou wins the Thermal Club Indycar Grand Prix

Goodnight everybody

[uneven coral]

Who else has a last name that starts with B?

[marble willow]

Bowman

Wait, shit

[foggy fulcrum]

Bocevar

[unique trout]

Rooting for O Ward tho

[uneven coral]

Already in there.

[foggy fulcrum]

[sudden void]

Horse shit graphics still

[uneven coral]

OH YEAH. 💀

[sudden void]

Wheres the timing

[fading prawn]

Elliott attacking Hocevar

[marble willow]

I'm calling it rn that Palou's gonna win the race after Mclaren fucks up the strategy

[uneven coral]

I feel so bad for forgetting him today.

[unique trout]

F1 type bottle

[fading prawn]

Somewhere, defo not where it should be tbh.

[uneven coral]

Usually, he had a solid track at Homestead when he was with JGR.

[marble willow]

Palou
Herta
Lundgaard

That's my top 3 for the race

[foggy fulcrum]

Christopher Beltram Hernandez "JJ" Yeley sorta has a B name if you don't think about it

[fading prawn]

"JJ Yeley"

[foggy fulcrum]

2009 F1 Champion

[unique trout]

haven't fox sports invented the picture in picture mode or smth

[fading prawn]

WHERE does the JJ comes from, like at all?

[unique trout]

if they need to play ads

[uneven coral]

Beselowksi.

[foggy fulcrum]

I think it's a reference to his dad's nickname iirc

[marble willow]

boey bogano

[foggy fulcrum]

He is nicknamed "J. J." (Jimmy Jack) after his father and a close family friend.[1]

[unique trout]

Okay is long beach going to be a good watch

[uneven coral]

Yes.

[unique trout]

cuz the thermal club effect has hit

[fading prawn]

Cool

[marble willow]

A lot better than St. Pete and Thermal that's for sure

[marble willow]

You can't spell Thermal Club without two l's

[fading prawn]

PITS STOPS

AT NASCAR

[uneven coral]

OHH, The Penske car hit each other in pit road.

[fading prawn]

Cindric and Logano.

O'Ward 4.5 clear

[unique trout]

I love the little circlings the commentators do at nascar lol

[marble willow]

rasmussen gets by graham rahal

[fading prawn]

We got a overtake at Indy.
Rasmussen

Past Rahal

Another one.

[foggy fulcrum]

the telestrator?

[fading prawn]

Ericsson past Foster

[uneven coral]

Blaney is still in the net lead!

[fading prawn]

Elliott vs Larson

Who's very, VERY CLOSE to the wall

O'Ward 5.5 clear

Lundgaard too is very much gone if you are Alex Palou

6.4

[uneven coral]

The Progressive scheme is such a good look.

[fading prawn]

Larson pits at last

Zane Smith penalised

Too fast on pit entry.

Lundgaard pits

WAIT, DIDN'T HE ALREADY DO THAT?

[foggy fulcrum]

bro is doing running comms for two races at once

[marble willow]

First round of pitstops for Indycar

[fading prawn]

Kinda

[fading prawn]

So Lundgaard really choked P2 on his own

[marble willow]

I guess

Palou P2

Won't take long till Palou leads

I'm telling you. Alex Palou is winning this.

[uneven coral]

Was that Allmendinger who got loose?

Well, not too loose but a little bit sideaways.

[fleet kindle]

Indycar?

[marble willow]

Yes. And Nascar

[uneven coral]

And NASCAR.

[fleet kindle]

Wild

[marble willow]

Indycar is at Thermal Club
Nascar is at Homestead Miami Speedway

[fleet kindle]

Any on YouTube?

[marble willow]

No

[fleet kindle]

Mk

[uneven coral]

Wait, I'll check.

[marble willow]

Very bad stop for Prema

[fading prawn]

Larson continues to run as close to the wall as possible.

[marble willow]

Kirkwood pits

Malukas P5

where's vertex when you need him

[foggy fulcrum]

standard 11 car strat call

[fading prawn]

That pitlane exit is pissing me off.

[marble willow]

The top 4 runners in Indycar has not pitted yet

[dark talon]

Region dependent

[marble willow]

It just feels so unnatural for some reason

Anyways, Rossi's chasing Herta for 3rd.... sorta

[fading prawn]

It hurts my eyes.

[lavish shard]

ima be so real

[old osprey]

why are indycar and nascar goin at the same time and why are fox broadcasting both 🤔

[lavish shard]

this track is buns 💔

[marble willow]

If you thought the lines at Paul Ricard were bad, wait till you see the pit exit at Thermal

[foggy fulcrum]

because FOX are even less competent than NBC and they clashed when they were both on NBC as well

[marble willow]

Rossi chasing Herta is the only thing keeping this race alive

[vale gull]

Watching "Thermal Club" 💔💔💔

[lavish shard]

is it even possible for nascar and indy to not clash at some point

[fading prawn]

Blaney lapping Busch

[old osprey]

how did they decide who gets fox and who gets fs1? coin toss? 😭

[foggy fulcrum]

oh yeah this is the first clash

[marble willow]

And Rahal gets past Mclaughlin on pit exit. Not that it matters

[foggy fulcrum]

it’s always been indy leading into cup so far this year

[fading prawn]

Today was the opposite.
Cup begun earlier

[foggy fulcrum]

It’ll depend on the contracts they have tbh

[marble willow]

Colton Herta pits

[uneven coral]

George, can I ask you where did you get that spotterguide last week?

[marble willow]

And now Rasmussen is up into P4

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah but they clash this week anyway

[fading prawn]

O'Ward is 9.8 clear of Palou

[marble willow]

Lundgaard P5

[fading prawn]

Yeah.

[uneven coral]

O'Ward domination may bore fans.

[foggy fulcrum]

like usually the indy has finished just as the cup race starts

[marble willow]

Nah. He ain't dominating this year.

[uneven coral]

I know, but let me hope.

[marble willow]

Also, Pato is definitely pitting before Palou

[fading prawn]

But this race, thus far, he defo is.

[foggy fulcrum]

why tf they’d choose to put the much less popular sport on the main channel I have no idea; maybe just because it’s the shiny new toy

[fading prawn]

PALOU PITS

[marble willow]

Oh shit, I second guessed myself

[fading prawn]

O'WARD STAYS OUT

[old osprey]

nascar is massive fr

[unique trout]

Probably in this case its the fact that the races are on the complete opposite sides of the country

[fading prawn]

WE HAVE A SPINNER

[marble willow]

Oh wh'se that

ERICSSON

[fading prawn]

ERICSSON

[foggy fulcrum]

the Cup race started half an hour earlier than usual too

[fading prawn]

Managed to keep it going

[marble willow]

Eh, no biggie

[fading prawn]

Just ran wide into the gravel and spun.

[marble willow]

Rahal VS McLaughlin VS Simpson

for a position no one cares about

[fading prawn]

Palou rejoined behind Lundgaard

O'Ward pits

[marble willow]

Alex Rossi inherits the lead

[clear field]

@naive smelt late again for indycar 💀

im so bad at this now

[lavish shard]

she aint miss shit in these last 17 laps tbf

basically like just tuning in before the green flag drops

[marble willow]

Rossi leads, Mclaren 2-3

So.... Lundgaard net lead?

[fading prawn]

Only Ericsson losing it for a momment.

[clear field]

hows the commentary tho

[fading prawn]

Unsure.

[lavish shard]

its okay

[fading prawn]

He's on softs, and O'Ward on hards

O'Ward is ahead on track.

[lavish shard]

feels like just useless strategy yap

[fading prawn]

Rossi pots

[marble willow]

Eh, knowing how Palou is behind Lundgaard, he could take the lead and stay there

[fading prawn]

Lundgaard however, closed the gap insanely to Pato.
It's 3.1 now

[uneven coral]

Ohhh, Allmendinger hit the wall very slightly.

[marble willow]

Rossi's done pretty well for his first two races at ECR

[fading prawn]

Larson pounces on him.

[clear field]

as long as its not made up stories about anecdotes the drivers said "i was talkin to him last night and he said the car is to tight going around turn 5 and 11 but it looks like its not even an issue he is GLIDING through there, marty?"

[uneven coral]

NPOOOOO

[fading prawn]

BELL SPUN IT

[marble willow]

NOOOOOOO THERE GOES HIS WIN STREAK

CHRISTOPHER WHY

[fading prawn]

Ehhh, that went away last week.

[uneven coral]

It's already gone.

[fading prawn]

Berry won it.

[marble willow]

Oh yeah

that's right

Eh, oh well

[fading prawn]

Lundgaard is keeping tabs on Pato

2.9

[lavish shard]

nah ive not heard any of that yet lol

but they're really trying to make this race sound interesting

[fading prawn]

Palou is 11.4 behind Lundgaard

He needs a yellow to come back into play.

Or a masterclass in both strat and driving.

[dark talon]

8 seconds

[fading prawn]

Oh, that's just to the leader.

[dark talon]

Gap from first

[fading prawn]

Fucking awful scoring tbf.

[marble willow]

McLaughlin big problems

Hybrid unit overheated

[fading prawn]

He's out of it.

Bowman got out ahead of Blaney it seems.

[marble willow]

Power VS Siegel

Damn, Power's car looks nice

[fading prawn]

Power past Siegel

He power-ed past Nolan

[marble willow]

Duuuuuuuurttty side

[fading prawn]

Past Ferrucci too!

[marble willow]

I guess Power's the only Penske that's been doing remotely decent

[fading prawn]

NASCAR IS GREEN

Bowman attacking Blaney!

Ferrucci vs Siegel!

[marble willow]

Foster goes wide

[fading prawn]

Rasmussen past Santino

Nevermind, it was Foster

[marble willow]

Simpson VS Rahal

Tight racing

[fading prawn]

Those guys are so hard to tell apart.

[marble willow]

Woah, the footwell and the master cylinders

That's pretty neat

[fading prawn]

Bowman going after Ryan, but it's no use

[uneven coral]

Caution?

[fading prawn]

Ryan Blaney wins stage 1

[marble willow]

A weird and stupid one

[fading prawn]

We hate it.

[marble willow]

Siegel on Dixon

[fading prawn]

Dixon holds on.

[marble willow]

Dixon prevails

[fading prawn]

Logano is back to front in the pits

Berry also spun it.

[foggy fulcrum]

oh sick fox actually had a replay and it even caught most of what happened

[marble willow]

Power pits

[foggy fulcrum]

not like all of it obviously

[fading prawn]

They managed to conect, with Larson.

[foggy fulcrum]

it is fox

[fading prawn]

That's the weirdest thing i've seen for a while.

Lundgaard pits, and i've got no images.

What the heck.

[marble willow]

The FOX tv broadcast froze and went to commercial

Well, fuck.

[fading prawn]

Ehhhh.

We are screwed.

[cobalt meteor]

right

that would have been fun

[fading prawn]

Nascar is still going, under yellow, but still going.

No chance of Indy returning it seems.

Signal issues

[frosty meadow]

Nooooooooo

[marble willow]

I'm following the race through Indycar Radio right now

[naive marten]

The indycar is just ass

so is indycar just completely inaccessaible for everyone in the us?

[marble willow]

Yeah

[naive marten]

Worldwide*

[frosty meadow]

Grrrrrr

[old osprey]

aint no way

[marble willow]

Thermal Club was a big fat mistake

[old osprey]

when is indycar gonna release the statement?

[marble willow]

Goddamn you Indycar

[uneven coral]

It being inaccessible for everyone in the US means it is inaccessible everywhere.

[frosty meadow]

Need Arlington race to come sooner

[naive marten]

Apparently it’s an issue at thermal club

I NEED THE GRAND PRIX OF LONG BEACH PRONTO

[naive marten]

They lost all telemetry and stuff

[uneven coral]

Karma for hosting a championship race there.

[floral granite]

why tf is nascar on

instead of indy

[west notch]

indycar broken

[frosty meadow]

INDYCAR crashed

[marble willow]

Signal got fucked

[lavish shard]

on god

[floral granite]

omg.

[old osprey]

so it is thermal clubs fault? or fox?

[round vortex]

I can't seem to get indycar radio to work either rn

[floral granite]

🤦

[lavish shard]

when in doubt, blame thermal

[west notch]

wasn't watching the race anyway

[marble willow]

Alright, there's no point in talking about the Indycar race right now.

AND ALEX PALOU MAKES IT TWO FOR TWO! ALEX PALOU WINS AT THERMAL CLUB!

[frosty meadow]

When in doubt blame both

[dark talon]

Can we send the link to the timing page?

[lavish shard]

as long as its the official livetiming page

[marble willow]

This gives Chip Ganassi Racing their second race win of the 2025 season, and that Palou's championship lead extends over the rest of the field

[foggy fulcrum]

it is FOX though so

huge chance it was a FOX fuckup

[dark talon]

https://www.indycar.com/leaderboard
it’s on indycar.com

[lavish shard]

yeah but even if its a fox problem

[lost vapor]

This has been like every race this season, no? Even some broadcasters are better

[lavish shard]

im blaming thermal

[fading prawn]

INDYCAR IS BACK

Our INDYCAR production truck has an electrical issue. We are working to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, we have NASCAR bonus coverage on FOX and FS1 until the INDYCAR truck is back online.

Mclaren's made a little bit of progress with them performing well today, but it wasn't enough for them to escape the clutches of the multiple times, defending NTT Indyca

[round vortex]

Indycar app appears to be dead too although it might just be being the Indycar app

Terrible shame for Team Penske at the moment. It wasn't such a great time for them, despite Will Power's efforts this race

[marble willow]

I know.

[old osprey]

welcome to america

[west notch]

This wouldn't have happened if Malukas was still in McLaren

Thank you all for watching the Thermal Club Indycar Grand Prix on FOX.

I'm not Will Buxton, Townsend Bell, or James Hinchcliffe, and we'll see you in April around the sizzling streets of Long Beach for the Grand Prix of Long Beach.

[round vortex]

No comms Foster vs DeFrancesco from the helicopter cap is pretty fun honestly

On sky the no-comms broadcast is still on

[tepid elbow]

I am stealing this for the God forsaken Indy discord

Wish me luck!

[lavish shard]

Hes the only one who didn't pit last stop

[jaunty obsidian]

I have to turn on radio at indycar.com/leaderboard

[fading prawn]

More cameras

Onboard now

Ferrucci past Veekay

Renus was struggling badly.

[marble willow]

Goddamn, Blaney's car looks sick

[timber storm]

It does

[marble willow]

Oh wow, Newgarden and Power are in the top 10 now

[uneven hinge]

Fuck, I missed the start of the race.

[west notch]

How are we enjoying FOX so far in 2025

[timber storm]

It's fox

[marble willow]

Don't bother. The feed for Indycar at Thermal Club went to shit.

[uneven hinge]

Why does it say in the program plan from Sky the race just starts in 25 minutes?

[fading prawn]

Enjoy is a strong word.

[tepid elbow]

Well it shit the bed in terms of its feed, so…

[marble willow]

Now I'm resorting to Indycar Radio

[west notch]

oh it's back

[fading prawn]

We tolerate it.

[marble willow]

WAIT HATGF NFEF

INDYCAR IS BACK!?

[west notch]

yes

[fading prawn]

Yes

[jaunty obsidian]

2nd race, 2nd technical difficulties

[fading prawn]

FOR SOME TIME

[marble willow]

The Cup Series was still showing for me on FOX

Anyways 25 laps to go

[fading prawn]

Palou hunting Lundgaard

[timber storm]

Then it's probably not a definite fix

[marble willow]

He's gonna split the Mclarens

[fading prawn]

Christian ran wide

Alex will surely reel him in now.

[marble willow]

And Herta is behind Kirkwood

[fading prawn]

Palou is within striking distance!

He's waiting for a mistake.

[round glen]

I’m out right now so I’m not gonna be able to see the end of the IndyCar race. I can only look at the Cup Series

Is Herta doing good?

[fading prawn]

5th

30 seconds behind leader Pato

[marble willow]

Damn, nice little battle between Lundgaard and Palou

[uneven coral]

WHAT THE HELL IS THE 11 DOING?

[tepid elbow]

So ladies and gentlemen what we’ve all learned from that debacle is FUCK THERMAL CLUB YOU SHIT PIECE OF TRACK.

[marble willow]

Cmon Lundgaard

[marble willow]

This battle between Lundgaard and Palou is the only thing keeping this race alive

[fading prawn]

If it's Hamlin, HE'S LEADING

He peels into the pits now.

SPINNER

SUÁREZ

In pit entry

No yellow

[marble willow]

Here comes Palou

So close now

[fading prawn]

He's not been able to send it yet.

Lundgaard is doing what he can to keep him back.

Suárez really just lost it while entering.
Silly mistake really.

[marble willow]

Palou is losing time to Lundgaard

[fading prawn]

Lundgaard is running away

Looks like Alex's pace is out the window.

[marble willow]

A pretty rare occurrence for such a thing to happen to Palou

[naive smelt]

Who’s winning?

[marble willow]

Pato

It's a Mclaren 1-2

Alex Palou is still P3 behind Lundgaard

[fading prawn]

Lundgaard 9 seconds back

[marble willow]

Pato is just cruising

[fading prawn]

He's been bulletproof thus far.

Nobody has been able to challenge him.

Palou closing in again

[marble willow]

Round 2

[fading prawn]

He's nowhere near enough in the breaking zones to have a look.

Pit stops!

Lundgaard peels in!

Palou stays out

[marble willow]

I think they are gonna bring Pato in after Lundgaard

[west notch]

oh brother

[fading prawn]

Palou might overcut Christian

[marble willow]

Yeah

[fading prawn]

Rosenqvist ran over his own wheelgun

Palou pits!

For softs!

[marble willow]

Wow, this could be a straight run to the checkered flag for Pato at this point

[fading prawn]

Has he done enough!

Nope!

[marble willow]

THERE IS LUNDGAARD

YES!

[fading prawn]

Lundgaard remains!

[marble willow]

HAHAA!!!!!

[fading prawn]

Although P2 might be lost

[marble willow]

Round 3, baby!

[fading prawn]

PATO PITTING!

[marble willow]

LUNDGAARD NOT ABLE TO CUT BACK

THIS BATTLE WAS AMAZING

[marble willow]

Incredible! Good racing at the front at Thermal Club!

It's a rarity!

[lavish shard]

that was a good battle

[fading prawn]

15 laps to go, and the gap is only 8.2!

[lavish shard]

its still going

[marble willow]

I'm not even mad that Palou split the two Mclarens

[lavish shard]

that was preem

[west notch]

Luundgard you're fired next race

[lavish shard]

but thermal is still ass

[marble willow]

Shut up, at least he's got a podium

[west notch]

I can never spell his name right

[fading prawn]

After that, i'm not so sure.

[west notch]

Don't be mad at me

McLaren mindset

[lavish shard]

you said you're 100% sure its ass?

i agree

[fading prawn]

Palou is eating away O'Ward's lead!

[fading prawn]

Nah

[lavish shard]

how much faster is he going to pato

[fading prawn]

PATO WILL HAVE TRAFFIC

[lavish shard]

at least 8-9 tenths right

[marble willow]

Oh man, this is gonna be spicy

[fading prawn]

INDEED

[marble willow]

Palou is wasting no time at all

[fading prawn]

The gap has been cut from 8.2 to 5.6

[marble willow]

Oh hot damn

[fading prawn]

In what, 1 and a half lap?

Palou truly is wasting no time

[marble willow]

That's just scary

Alex is flying

[marble willow]

Please pato, give me hope

[fading prawn]

Palou is running with it.

[lavish shard]

back to youtube

[fading prawn]

HAMLIN WINS STAGE 2

Palou 2 seconds clear

[lost vapor]

And it's gone again

[marble willow]

Pato still has more push to pass but it's too late

[west notch]

what is the likelihood of Herta winning

[marble willow]

0

[fading prawn]

Lesser than 0

It's in the negatives

[west notch]

oh

:(

[fading prawn]

Palou is 3 seconds clear

[marble willow]

8 to go and the race is his

Bit of traffic coming up

[old osprey]

wat happen to pato

[marble willow]

Passed by Palou

And now Palou is running away from the lead

[old osprey]

he has old tires?

[marble willow]

Pato pitted after Palou

[fading prawn]

Nope.
But he has hards to Alex's softs

[round glen]

Did Palou seriously take the lead

[marble willow]

Yup

Another clean sweep by Palou

[round glen]

God DAMMIT

[marble willow]

Alright, go home race is over

[round glen]

The dynasty continues . . .

[marble willow]

At least Mclaren double podium

[fading prawn]

And how did he.
That was a insane authority bash.

[old osprey]

here is ur future 4 time champ alex palou

[fading prawn]

He's spelling to the whole field.

[round glen]

Didn’t see it but I know for sure he destroyed everyone again

[fading prawn]

"Y'all are gonna need to do better, MUCH, MUCH BETTER"

[marble willow]

Power got past Rossi

Now into P7

[fading prawn]

Nah, he annihilated them.

In 5 laps he cut Pato's 8 second lead to pass him.

[marble willow]

Palou is gonna be equal on championships with Sebastien Bourdais at this point

[fading prawn]

Power?

[marble willow]

Damn, nice move by Power

[fading prawn]

Or Palou?

[marble willow]

I MEANT PALOU

Shhhhhh......

You didn't see anything

[fading prawn]

What..... you calling Palou Power?

Sure, I didn't see nothin'

[marble willow]

Huh? What? What are you saying

Also, to think the last Indycar race without a caution was in 2020

[fading prawn]

6.3

With 5 to go.

[old osprey]

and then grosjean joined and crashed everywhere

[marble willow]

Ngl, Power's pulled off a great drive this race, despite still being outside the Top 5

[fading prawn]

Now that he's gone, they managed to find peace.

[old osprey]

palou supremacy

[fading prawn]

7.2 with 4 to go.

[marble willow]

WOAH FRO OUTTA NOWHERE

[fading prawn]

Rosenqvist past Kirkwood

[old osprey]

so why does this track exsist again

[marble willow]

ROSENQVIST INTO P5

[marble willow]

just so rich guys can pop their track day cherries

[fading prawn]

For once, I liked this race.

[old osprey]

and how does a private track earn a right to an indycar race

[marble willow]

So did I. I didn't expect this to develop into a decent race despite the feed being lost

[old osprey]

it was cool

[marble willow]

3 laps to go.

[fading prawn]

[round glen]

CHASE ELLIOTT HAS BEEN DISQUALIFIED

[naive smelt]

Or wherever this is

[uneven hinge]

[foggy fulcrum]

At the cost of my SANITY, that’s what

[uneven hinge]

[marble willow]

Shoutout to Felix Rosenqvist and Will Power

[round glen]

No? Elliott had the highest average finish and Larson had the most points last year

They’re anything BUT washed

[old osprey]

i joke i joke

their playoff runs have been marred

logano really won a championship instead of anyone else who actually won

logano's 2024 champ is about as mickey as kyle busch's championship in 2015

AND ALEX PALOU WINS AT THERMAL CLUB, CAPTURING HIS SECOND WIN OF THE 2025 INDYCAR SEASON

https://tenor.com/view/chequered-gif-23429384

[old osprey]

hispanic 1-2 at thermal

lets goo

[west notch]

Pato isnt hispanic 🤓

Why is Palou so fast

[old osprey]

spaniard are hispanic

[naive smelt]

idk but he’s annoying me

[west notch]

Pato isn't from Spain

[old osprey]

wait

pato mexican

[west notch]

he is mexican

[marble willow]

He's inhuman.

He's a god from another universe wanting to torment each universe he passes through.

[old osprey]

mexicans are hispanic tho

[naive smelt]

He’s Mexican right

[marble willow]

Yes

[west notch]

latino

[round glen]

Mexican-American

[old osprey]

mexicans are hispanic and latino

[old osprey]

spaniards are hispanic and not latino

[round glen]

He resided in Texas half his life

[west notch]

mexicans latino

[old osprey]

they are both

because hispanic refers to a spanish sppeaking contry

[marble willow]

Well, at least Pato's gonna get a points boost in the driver's standings

"Ryan Blaney's car is always good on the long run"

GOOD DAY TO BE A MCLAREN FAN!!

[marble willow]

but pato lost to palou.....

[stray eagle]

Two double podiums!!

[stray eagle]

Still. Two double podiums

[naive smelt]

I think they’re right actually, it’s Spanish speaking countries

[tepid elbow]

Eh Piastri won today so

[uneven hinge]

Well, Latinos are Latin-Americans, as Spain isn't in America Spaniards can't be Latinos.

[round glen]

@uneven hinge If you ever wanna watch NASCAR, just keep in mind that Joey Logano = Esteban Ocon.

[tepid elbow]

Technically it’s just Spain

[marble willow]

And the best thing?

This race wasn't as boring as the Chinese Grand Prix.... although the transmission for this race fucked off midway

[west notch]

No one is saying spainards are latinos

[foggy fulcrum]

nope

[marble willow]

True. I'm happy with that.

[foggy fulcrum]

but quebecois can

[tepid elbow]

and technically you’d use Latino for Latin America and folks from there

[naive smelt]

Are you sure?

[old osprey]

and spanish speaking countries as well tho, i am hispanic and latino because i am puetro rican, a spaniard is hispanic because they speak spanish, but they are not latino because spain is not in latin-america

[foggy fulcrum]

they're wrong even if they are

[tepid elbow]

learnt it in Spanish class, somehow I remember that instead of usted

[west notch]

vosotros

[tepid elbow]

i really need to brush up on espanol

aka Español

[foggy fulcrum]

it's very possible it means something else in Spanish

[tepid elbow]

yeah

[uneven hinge]

most normal discussion about IndyCar

[tepid elbow]

im Hispanic American so 💀

[west notch]

I guess terms are always changing then

or i've been misinformed

[round glen]

Maybe we could talk about the ongoing Cup Series race then

[old osprey]

vosotros is mainly spaniard as far as i know, in latin american countries they usually say usted/es to refer to multiple group of people

[west notch]

I've never been given that definition

[round glen]

Still around 80 laps left

[marble willow]

You gotta be ready for the next round in April. It's gonna be the Grand Prix of Long Beach.

IMSA and Indycar are gonna be there

[west notch]

this is true

hablaeis

[naive smelt]

Ok im about to settle this for you guys, Cambridge dictionary says it’s Spanish speaking country

[old osprey]

why is indycar schedule so spaced out

aint no way

[round glen]

Still kinda mad that Logano had to be sent down

[west notch]

we already settled it

hahahah

hahahaha

[marble willow]

April 13. Mark your calendars

[uneven hinge]

As I can't trust Sky with the starting times, I need confirmation like the day before what the real starting time is.

[naive smelt]

But did you have a source because I do 😤
