blue flags wont be good at ovals
fuck no
Plus how’re you supposed to see a blue flag at 220?
marcus lost because of his wack ass defence
The dash
Blue flag rules are stupid in the first place
I don’t think most racing series should have them
Traffic management is part of being a driver and that includes lapped traffic
yes
And Martin brundle agrees with me so whatever
alex will soon be the first driver in 15 years to win the title and the indy500 in the same year
at this rate
tires locked up. nothing much more to add to it
nothing was wrong with the car
Feel bad for Schwartzman feel worse for his rear right tire changer
Closest was Montoya in 2015. Without double points at Sonoma, Juan would win the title
how on earth did this guy get pole? 😭
skill
how do you even lock up entering the pit box
If shwartzman didn’t turn the wheel to the right he would’ve broken his leg I bet
Indy 500 so good I put on the 2007 brickyard 400
Palou is already a top 10 IndyCar driver of all time arguably top 5
because he’s good
📰 | Full race results from the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500
He lost because he couldnt get a run with the lapped cars infront giving palou a draft
Prema had a really good quali setup and bot a good race setup
Well the 83 did at least illott was way down there
yep
they’re all in a tow there just in f1 terms a big drs train, palou didnt have to make a move so he didnt and kept behind the two
watch him leave indycar tho before that’s even possible
I FUCKING LOVE MOTORSPORTS SO MUCH MAN
😭
yes
never thought Palou would have ever been anywhere near this good
also iirc this is Palou’s first oval win
palou didn't have this problem when he passed ericcsson
He took a chance he had a good run then made a suprise move before the turn
If you rewatch it there was nothing he could of done to anticipate that move
It suprised the shit out of me i know that fs
¯_(ツ)_/¯
they both had the same tools
palou just executed better
was it the most exciting ending no but it was completely deserved and I'm not gonna start calling for blue flag rules because of it
Ericsson didnt have a great race setup either he got where hw was because of a botched pitstop earlier on
Which is rare in its own case
Yeah he aint goin nowhere
📰 | Alex Palou finally gets that first oval win with the 2025 Indy 500
📰 | Marcus Ericsson left pondering lapped traffic moves after Indy 500 heartbreaker
Okay so there's a bunch of not so good reacts on the announcement that Palou won. Is this anti-Indycar hate or anti-Palou hate? and why?
palou has won every race but one this season
and he's done it by being straight up better, no gimmicks or dirty driving or anything
Lundgaard p9 on a oval. We take that
People are bored of him winning presumably
Thing is tho, A: he's without doubt the most deserving driver of a 500 win coming into day B: he wasn't dominant in the race and had to execute from not the lead
There is an inevitability about him and a lack of drama which makes him somewhat boring but imo its just very impressive
Got me watching my first NASCAR race just to hope Larson fails 
Maybe Larson will complete 1100, but kilometers of 1100 miles
i dont hate larson personally i just cannot stand hendrick motorsports as a team
f all of em equally
does Larson have to finish both races for it to be considered completing the double?
yes
HE SPUN 
He already failed
Wasn'thim
Him
Oh announcers were wrong
So literally Matt Kenseth?
I saw this in the r/indycar Today isn't his day
Can we just give the IndyCar 2025 title to Palou already
No Malukas is still in it
You're so right
My goat Juan Pablo Montoya would never do this
i know ty
ofc
i'm disappointed that the indy 500 ended the way it did
but at least he finished p3
yeah a podium at the 500 is still huge
Today could’ve been better tbh
Norris and Palou won
But Larson is getting the runt of it
this is the only thing i filmed that matters from the 500
imagine if O'Ward won the Indy 500, Zak Brown's teeth are going to be dry from smiling all day long 
you were there? that must be really awesome, I wish I can go to any race in the Europe or US
it was really great. i’m not sure if i’d go again anytime soon but it was a good experience.
Ross Chastain wins the Coca-Cola 600 after starting Dead Last
William Byron leading over 280 of the 400 laps comes up short in 2nd
the wild thing is even leading that many, he still he led 109 fewer laps than Truex did in the 2016 600; he led 272.5 more miles in that race than Byron did in the one last night
man, everytime i see Monaco E-Prix clips it makes me just wanna watch it instead of Monaco GP
that was just

Lowkey glad Ericsson didn’t win the 500 now
Imagine the shit storm if he had the win stripped after everything
Also that moves sato and castroneves into the top 10 finishing spots
What happened to Ericsson
gah damn
If only Palou could have gotten DQed too, Malukas would win
P2 is still better than I imagined and I'd rather not win on post-race penalties anyway
Glorious king Conor Daly gets 8th
is alex palou the indycar version of 2023 max verstappen
yes
hes won every race except 1 so far
yes definitively
yup

The final race of the greatest day in racing
Might be a hot take
But it was the best of the 3 in my eyes
Though I admit the bar wasn’t set as high as it often is from Indy
sigh
To quote Alonso on what happened to Larson
"Karma"
For what?
What did Larson do to deserve that
He called Scott an idiot after his crash
Where was that

“Someone just crashed, fucking idiot.” - Larson radio

︀︀#Indy500
📰 | Exclusive: Alex Palou “woke up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep” after Indy 500 win
What an egregious interpretation.
First- That was @TylerMonn saying someone crashed, not Kyle. Listen to any race on Sunday and this is their normal banter.
Second- SM and KL have a ton of mutual respect, he was rolling by with a curious 👍🏽 to see if he was ok.
Do better X.
People are loving this Kyle Larson hate train I see
https://www.reddit.com/r/INDYCAR/comments/1kwsxrf/alex_palou_made_an_incredible_save_during_the_500/ wow!
Yeah Larson had no ill will towards Scotty in that incident
for the record I don't know if I believe the thumbs up was a checkup
but I do think it was the spotter saying those words
if you look closely larson pressed the PTT button with his thumb
it was larson not the spotter
I meant Larson saying someone crashed and his spotter saying idiot
sounds like different voices to me although shit quality
I think the general sense of sportsmanship from Larson wasn't great, particularly with the thumbs up, but I also think this incident is way blown out of proportion because plenty of people don't really like him
like drivers call each other idiots all the time, particularly when they're stressed and about to begin a major race
it was fucking appauling when you also consider he crashed at indy and charlotte.
but i dont blame him either he wanted to make sure he got the full 500 miles fly to charlotte and then do another 600 miles
I try not to judge drivers by what they say in the cockpit
actually the reason why I don't like Larson that much is because he said throwback weekend was lame like damn bro you're such a debbie downer
it was still kind of out of pocket
I agree but it only got blown out of proportion like this because it's larson
i get its heat of the moment but its like dude someone crashed
its like accidents happen
end of the day I'm not a big fan of Larson but the double is a cool thing to attempt and I don't agree with using this incident to invalidate his skill like I've said
i myself would have viewed it the exact same way if it was any of the other drivers
KL is my favorite nascar driver
and this shouldnt absolutely invalidate his skill what drivers crash all the time
good for you but I don't think it's incorrect to assume that a significant chunk of people wouldn't be as consistent
oh 100%
particularly in this server where that interview question about max is still being repeated
oh
No it was confirmed to be his spotter
The voices are very similar once you chuck the radio filter over them
But the voice is the spotter
Not Larson

Anyone other than Rowland plz
Bruh 3 wide there never gonna work
I don't trust FE drivers rn
Why
because of all the contact
I think that’s just FE things
it is
The cars just crunch like a good ASMR video
That’s a good thing no? Just means the lightest taps doesn’t break their suspension unlike f1 cars
No I'm concerned of someone getting taken out
Well it crunches and the bits fall off
FE kinda turns Formula racing into contact sport lol.
Müller the 1st to come in for the pit boost

How's Rasmussen survived that one

Is O’Ward in the net lead?
I have just tuned into this race that’s why I am asking.
no
Kirkwood
Thanks.
I still believe in Pato
Ilott crash
Left front gone
Not optimal
Oh, Ilott done and crashed it.
What happened there?
Oh, he just understeered into the corner and then crashed it on the wall.
loose wheel i think
I mean that wheel wasn’t on properly
Ew, Ferrucci leading
Brother if Ferrucci wins this
If nothing crazy happens, then we might have to settle with that. 😭
No fr, waste of my time if he wins
This is what? The 4th pit cycle of this race?
All that for a Ferrucci win.
PALOU CRASHED
That is not something you see every day
Nooo that's surely a penalty for Malukas then
Alex Palou is human, fellas!
The Indy 500 winners curse strikes
Malukas got stop and go
Never mind, this crash does not prove anything since you can’t do anything when you’re shoved by someone in the rear.
Nah. He should of just not crashed by being rear ended duh
Truth nuke.
You could have said anything besides that tbf.
That’s kinda neat.
Herta reporting gear shift issues
I don't think I'll ever root for Kyffin Simpson as much as I am now ever again
Please don’t let Ferrucci win
0 days since last Andretti Autosport fuck up.
Simpson was born in the Cayman Islands, right?
Kirkwood 2nd
what did will just say
You mean 3rd?
Kirkwood passed Simpson
I am really behind then. 😭
im on lap 98 mate
man and i just put my palou shirt on too
man
He touched part of his wing at Simpson's rear
Kirkwood is leading
He passes Ferruci
Fox scoring sucks arse.
it was a light touch from Malukas unfortunately it caused Palou to make a massive correction
If someone overtakes another one in the middle of the lap just update the positions on the timing tower, we don’t need to wait until they cross the finish line.
Kirkwood's right front wing flap is going more down than normal due to the touch
left
Can Kirkwood pull a Palou?
get rear ended by Malukas? i hope not
Given Ferruci, yes
Well, I meant winning with a damaged from wing. 😭
Power P3
ah
that makes more sense
I hate the FOX timing tower, man.
18 laps to go
it is hard to keep up
not to mention the tyre indicators arent even present
If they could just not have the pointless top 5 graphic there
Fox chose style over substance
Rosenqvist and Foster
Foster crashed as well
OH
Damn, Foster's suspension simply snapped
Ericsson was lucky
yikes
It's been a bit of a catastrophe for the rahals this race
yup
Every RLL car has had some car related issue
What happened Ericsson and foster yea?
Foster's suspension failed and fucking rammed into the back of Rosenqvist
Shiiiiii
Felix on the stretcher but he is concious
Next race is in 2 weeks at St. Louis
Red Flag
red flag?
shit are they okay
Can at least Kirkwood change front wing and tyres?
Last time they red flagged Detroit with a few laps to go, Will Power was also in the top 3…
…except his car did not restart
Nope. Under red flag you cannot touch the car at all
Strange, that in F1 you can do it
They have sensible red flag rules unlike a certain other series
they are both out of the car
Foster walked away
Felix is on da stretcher
F1 is like the ONLY series I can think of that allows that rule
thats a positive atleast
hope hes all good
Every other racing series pretty much the same, no work on the car during red flag
Foster needs to visit medical center
At the very least changing tyres under red is a bit too big an advantage
going to be an interesting last few laps
Ericsson won that race
This is marathon. Not a sprint
?? 💀
Who's driving the car with the insulin sponsor?
A lot of drivers go to the toilet in the car
Several F1 drivers admitted to it. In IndyCar I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more
Maybe Daly since I think he has diabetes
They can
they can
its great
Engine turned on
i love the sound of the indy radios
Cars out of pits now
Caution flag now
Laps under Pace for restart
Pace Car going out right now

Kirkwood pulling over 2 secs again
Ferrucci overtakes Power

BOO HIS ASS LIKE CHICK HICKS
because of stuff that happened in the past? yeah ok
When has he shown remorse bro?
look Ferrucci may be an ass and a pay driver but he can drive the hell out of a race car
simpson’s first career top 5 too
It's kinda hard to not discredit him when your reputation is so bad
I agree that he's not a bad driver
But as a person I hate the way he talks, the way he walk,
And everything else about him
Ferrucci probably has a messy bedroom and blasts loud rap music with all the windows down

Why are American motorsports officials so keen on keeping the cars' results after they failed inspection?
right? it's so weird
Tbf that didn't happen in the Indy 500
Well this year
he still kept it
most american motorsports do that
a little ballast probably doesnt warrant that to indycar officials
KKK leader gets to be 2nd what a joke
i was hoping he'd win for the absolute carnage online
You ever think Max did that against Russell so he could swap with Drugovich like Drugovich drives in F1 and Max gets his Endurance seat
max in the 311 cadillac would be terrible
action express are a terrible team
i am a cadillac fan i would know
he'd be raging for 24 hours
Look ok if he can drag that fucking RB20 to a win he can drag that Cadillac to a win as well
oh also i hear lots of people saying this is ferruci's 1st podium, this is NOT true at all
Anger fuels his passion to win
he got 3rd during 23's 500
first roadium though, yeah?
There are exceptions of course, but you can't deny it's a ruling they pretty much like to stick with.
I can name Meyer Shank Acura's Rolex 24h win in 2023 for instance.
the whole car met minimum weight but the ballast wasn't in the right place
if the car was underweight he'd lose his result
The car was 10 pounds under the minimum weight per the team's statement.
Wait, I forgot how to read.

im kinda new to endurance racing can someone guide me through
is there anything specific you want to know?
generally if you just watch the races comms do a pretty good job explaining what's going on but if there's something in particular you don't know
like the race calendar and stuff
personally i follow wec but i also see the upcoming gt races like 24h of nurburgring and spa and idk where their calendars are
le mans is in two weeks, n24 is the week after that, and spa24 is the week after that
n24 is technically part of a bigger series (NLS) but most people just watch it and not the other races
spa24 is part of gt world challenge Europe but again flagship event tons of extra entries etc
bit of abnormal scheduling this year they're trying not to have 3 24h races in a row in the future
I think f1 moved it's spa date which kicked spa24 around
it's really brutal for the teams
there's also Watkins glen 6h on the same weekend as n24
part of imsa
i think ive seen pier guidi and antonio fuoco participating in both 24h le mans and 24h spa right
it's led to a weaker field for n24 too this year which is unfortunate
there's a couple guys doing all 3
some of the bmw factory drivers like farfus and kvdl
oh wow

Toyota drivers predict faster lap times and “plenty of fighting” ahead at Le Mans
Officially released on Thursday evening by race organizers, the Balance of Performance (BoP) for the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans suggests, at least on paper, a fierce showdown between several Hypercar manufacturers. With Ferrari taking the last two victories at the endurance race, Toyota is looking to take advantage — all while approaching the BoP figures with caution, knowing full well they ...Keep reading
Fellas I'm new to motorsports, what's the best way to watch Le Mans in the US?
The entire 24hrs should be streamed on cable/live TV, alternatively you can buy a 24hrs Le Mans pass from WEC TV that'll allow you to stream the whole race through them
Including practice and quali as well
Yes you can buy a pass, though it'll be for all the races not just the 24hrs
1pm they'll be a press conference likely announcing the return of Ram to the truck series
Hopefully
It'll lead to Dodge in Cup and Xfinity shortly after
anyone excited for the biggest race in the world?
Ferrari and Toyota are Le Mans favorites – but what about Porsche?
Last year, Porsche arrived at Le Mans as one of the favourites, riding the momentum of a strong start to its WEC campaign. But when it came down to it, the real fight was between Ferrari and Toyota. In 2025, the German manufacturer comes to La Sarthe in a very different situation, after a quiet opening trio of races.
What Porsche needs to lean on, if it’s to chase what would be a ...Keep reading

Toyota narrowly leads Ferrari in Hypercar as 2025 Le Mans test day ends
Toyota topped the times at the Le Mans Test Day as track running ahead of next weekend’s double-points round of the World Endurance Championship kicked off on Sunday.
Brendon Hartley led the way aboard the #8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID Le Mans Hypercar with a 3m26.246s set early in the second of two three-hours sessions on the full Circuit de la Sarthe at Le Mans.
That gave him half a second ...Keep reading

Toyota sees "very strong Ferrari" despite leading last open test before Le Mans
Toyota was quick to play down the significance of setting the fastest time with its #8 GR010 Hybrid during the 2025 Le Mans Test Day. Still, Toyota sees areas for improvement.
Test Day ended with the #8 Toyota on top of the timesheets at Le Mans on Sunday, Brendon Hartley clocking a 3:26.246. But anyone familiar with the Japanese squad knows they’re not putting much stock in what remains a ...Keep reading

The differences between the two cars represent, said Aston head of endurance ...Keep reading

Oh if you watch the marketing video the CEO talks about how they screwed up removing the Hemi V8 option
They also would like to join the Cup/Xfinity with Dodge in 2027/2028 which will align with the year that they are considering bringing back the V8 in the new Charger
The EV/hybrid version has been a huge sales disaster in the half year it's been in sale

Peugeot downbeat after final Le Mans test: “We don’t have the performance”
Last on the timesheets after the first day of running at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, Loïc Duval did not mince his words when discussing the expected performance of the Peugeot 9X8 on the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Peugeot ended the Le Mans Test Day with their cars in distant 19th and 21st positions, more than three seconds off the benchmark time set by Brendon Hartley in the No. 8 Toyota GR010 ...Keep reading

BMW believes no one was sandbagging on Le Mans test day
BMW wrapped up a clean and well-executed day of testing, with its fastest LMDh prototype posting the eighth-best time, 1.374s off Toyota’s benchmark. Within the German camp, just as others across the paddock, there was little interest in chasing lap times or playing games.
Operating under the Team WRT banner and managed by Vincent Vosse, BMW focused solely on its own programme, keeping its ...Keep reading

Pink is parked: Why the Iron Dames debuted a new white livery for Le Mans
For the 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Iron Dames are arriving with a special livery that breaks with tradition: the iconic pink has been swapped for white.

Bovy, Garcia & who?
Yeah it’s a really big blow for them
Bovy is fast at times but nowhere near Gatting
she was busted as a bronze driver but now that she's been upgraded she's mid
and I guess they don't have another professional woman on tap
In these situations they should maybe consider getting a man
to avoid completely putting them out of contention

What did we learn from the Le Mans Test Day? What pointers has it given us to the big race ahead? That’s always the million dollar question when the cars hit the majestic Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time each year.
Not a lot is quite often the answer. This time around we probably haven’t learnt who is going to win the double-points round of the World Endurance Championship this ...Keep reading

Here are all the former F1 drivers on the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours Hypercar grid
The lineup of drivers taking part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans has always highlighted the link between Formula 1 and endurance racing. Many former F1 drivers have found a new lease of life in the WEC, while others, such as Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg, have taken a short detour around La Sarthe before returning to their single-seaters.

Ferrari ‘clearly faster’ than Toyota at Le Mans - Sebastien Buemi
Ferrari had the fastest car at the Le Mans 24 Hours test day with an advantage that may be difficult to overcome, Toyota drivers reckon.
Brendon Hartley gave Toyota the quickest time on Sunday with a 3m26.246s lap in the afternoon session, just over half a second faster than the #51 Ferrari then driven by James Calado.
Toyota promptly played down the significance of the result, with its ...Keep reading

📰 | Adapting to Hypercar from Formula E is “so easy” for Wehrlein – here’s why
It's a new format this year
LMP2 and LMGT3 cars take part in a 30-minute qualifying session. The challenge? Only the 12 best cars in these respective categories will be able to take part in the Hyperpole sequence the following day.
The Hypercar class lines up for a 30-minute qualifying session. The challenge? Only the 15 best cars will be able to take part in the Hyperpole sequence the following day.
I’m pretty sure he was asking why is qualifying before 3 other FP sessions
Answer is the same
Hyperpole this year expands to all classes and LMP2 and GT3 go out at the same time - Hypercar in their own qualifying like previous years
It is so weird to me how many issues Iron Lynx are having with the Mercedes considering it is bulletproof in literally every other series
I know they said before they had issues with the torque sensors because the Mercedes had never ever run with them
But at this point you soon got to question if the issue is something else but the car
has anything interesting happened in FP1
i’ve been in class all day\
Dames qualified last 
merc reliability worse than alpine didn't think i'd ever have to say this
anyway letsgo
Chadwick is in the 18 IDEC right?
The iron dames are not last in qualifying they're 19 out of 25 lmgt3. And yes for Chadwick
Yeah I forgot about the rest of them
quite the unfair qualifying but it happens
Double Mercedes causing DNF’s but 🤷
Other than F1 last 3 races...
No it is about as fair as it could get
Did someone cut the Mercedes racing budgets?
Well yeah but I meant the Mercedes GT3 
I’m glad I never wanted to buy a Mercedes 
last minute program with a team which has never run these cars before with torque sensors that have minimal testing with this car
things were never going to be smooth
In any event Iron Lynx had problems with the Lambo’s last year, Mercedes this year…
A common factor 
the dames had issues with the Lambo the other car had no issues
if it was some chronic operational issue you'd think it'd show up in both cars at some point
Manifesting another double non-TGR hyperpole 
all my homies hate TGR
actually the #7 can go through because of the nicer livery
its joever
I have a question regarding the hypercar grid what happens when there’s load of manufacturers on the grid do they increase the limit or start to remove privateers teams?
It feels like privateer teams don’t have long left
By the time McLaren, Genesis and Ford join you’d be running out of track space
And also say if Acura or Lamborghini come as well
Lambo probably not considering how poor their program ran last year, Acura is an unknown
Maybe if they time themselves well when Max leaves F1 being Honda
Cause surely the grid is fantastic and how well the regulations have done well to attract so many manufacturers to hypercar I can see them extend the regulations a bit further
They would probably start by cutting the customer teams
It’s not a simple thing to add one more manufacturer, let alone 3
then maybe start limiting the GT3s to one car per manufacturer
Nah they’ll keep 2 GT cars
And 2 Hypercars per team
Privateers will be the first cut
for the vibes they should do some rounds with just hypercars
and then add the ability for customer hypercars to run in ELMS
they would also not do that
customer hypercars are way too difficult to run
no manufacturer wants to provide the support
and multiclass is a defining part of endurance and is why the racing is so good
Imagine if the ford hypercar is the RB17
don't ruin the fun
hypercar in elms I am here for it
JACK AITKEN
Proton will be with Ford, and AF Corse will only run factory Ferraris starting from 2027
That's my prediction
2027 we will probably have
2 Toyotas
2 Peugeots
2 Porsches
2 Cadillacs
2 Ferraris
2 BMWs
2 Alpines
2 Aston Martins
