how's my homeboy doing

#

Felix?

weary stone
#

yea

daring nacelle
#

p3

weary stone
#

nice

short vortex
#

I think he's got a pretty promising future in IndyCar based on this rookie season performance

daring nacelle
#

i should hope so

short vortex
#

Granted, he's looked pretty stellar in anything he's ever been sat in

daring nacelle
#

if he can get a bit more patient behind the wheel (looking at mid ohio) he'll be set

#

Herta is back up to P6, that's impressive

i remember in 2017 he was pipped to join toro rosso mid-season as kvyat underperformed

not so good to see dixon so far ahead

u should have seen mid ohio

he almost won and had a battle for the win on the last lap

#

ended sbs

#

sweet thanks

#

i feel like anytime i've watched indy, dixon has been leading

short vortex
#

He's a solid driver, as much as it kills me to say that

daring nacelle
#

he's only won 2 races this year amazingly

#

but 6 p2's

#

Consistency is how he has pulled as many championships as he has

daring nacelle
#

indycar season is too short

#

Viewership and attendance has been a major issue

#

I worked concessions for the one of the KS Speedway races back in the day and I couldn't even figure out how they could break even. And for all I know, maybe they didn't

#

Oh shit, Dixon

daring nacelle

#

he hasnt had his trademark luck this year

#

But, we slaved in the heat from like 7AM until 5PM quali and race day and attendance was so low we basically got nothing for our fundraiser that we did it for

daring nacelle

how back in the day is back in the day

daring nacelle

aye

#

i think things are on the up now? but they weren't for way too long

short vortex
#

Jesus it didn't seem that long ago until I had to think about what year...

daring nacelle
#

its not that long ago in the grand scheme of things

short vortex
#

Yeah, things seem to be moving in a positive direction for the series

#

11 years ago, that's half vind's age!

what does (R) mean?

Battery failure, for real?

#

i thought rosenqvist was in indy last year, or was that indy lights?

daring nacelle
#

he did lights in 2016

#

was doing fe tho i think

short vortex
#

That's what I was thinking as well

daring nacelle
#

also if i remember he did have a contract last year or the year before but got messed about

#

or messed about chip ganassi i forget which way

#

also, i think you have to do a certain amount of races in the season to not get Rookie for the next year also

short vortex
#

I think that's correcct

daring nacelle
#

so Kaiser who did 4 races in 2018 was still a rookie when he did races this year

#

because he barely did any

And yeah, I realize that that's a bit of an exaggeration for the issue, but it did kinda feel like that for a while

daring nacelle
#

i dont remember that being a thing apart from kurt

#

i know lots have gone from indy to nascar because they want more money

herta's recovered nicely

might have to pit again tho

not a good stop at all

Got a pretty big gap though and I feel like Felix is a stronger racer than Power this year

power's had awful luck as well maybe thatll strike again

#

That was bold by Pagenaud...

daring nacelle
#

i dont rate pagenaud in these cars

#

he's improved for sure but im still skeptical

short vortex
#

Yeah, I just dunno

#

I suspect that Herta may not have quite so much trouble pulling sponsorship support for next season with some of the performances this year

Great lineup

short vortex
#

I honestly think this is a good move for de Vries. He's struggled a lot with tyre management, so I don't know that he would have ever been overly successful in F1 where tyre management is a huge component. But, FE has less a tyre management component and is more about efficient driving

earnest lagoon
#

actually Formula have tyre management too but it's different since the teams only have 2 sets of tyres per weekend

short vortex
#

I more meant for the tyres just straight up surviving the race more than whole weekend management

earnest lagoon
#

well if you kill your tyres in practice you'll be nowhere in the races

I agree, but the FE tyres are way more resilient than the F1 P-Zeros

Yes indeed they are made to last long

It is worth noting the there is by no means a guarantee they will use a Nissan. The SCG 003 used a Honda and BMW engine options

How did I only just find out that

  1. Laguna Seca replaced Sonoma as the finale race for Indycar
    and 2. The finale is this weekend

and double points for Laguna Seca as a consequence

yeah I figured

also 3 weeks until Bathurst 1000 weekend yeet

Ever tapped the top of someone's bottle of beer with the bottom of yours? Essentially doing the same thing, except using the force transfer from gravity through body to release carbonation

#

Pro-tip: if someone does this to you, put your finger over the top and spray beer (kinda like putting your finger over the end of the hose to control the spray) on them until all the carbonation has released

indy at 9 cest?

8:30 I think?

CEST is +6 to EST I think, and it's at 14:30EST

ah great

#

might watch it if theres a broadcast

how long is the race?

2ish hours

Oh, coverage starts at 20:30, but the race doesn't actually start until 21:15CEST I don't think

oh

2hours until race ?

short vortex
#

Bout 4

#

3.5 I guess

remote cove

that would be 22:15 cest

The race starts at 3:15EST, so whatever the conversions are for the time zone you're in relative to that timezone

It's currently about 12:15EST

so in 3 hours?

that would be 21:15 cest

which race?

Laguna Seca

lethal yacht

oh yes it's the finale

remote cove
#

Really?

limpid escarp
#

Is the championship pretty much over or is there a good chance of someone else winning?

lethal yacht
#

double points finish

#

so winner gets 100 pts ?

#

we still have 4 drivers in contention, even if it's likely to be Newgarden for the title

limpid escarp
#

damn, a 41 point lead, he'd have to crash out for someone else to have a realistic shot at the title

earnest lagoon
#

not really actually

#

just need him to score less than 59 points if 2nd driver wins

#

so below 5th

#

so if newgarden gets below 5th, the one between Pagenaud and Rossi claiming the win will be champion

#

for dixon it look very unlikely since he's almost 100 points behind, so he would need DNF from newgarden and bad result from the twon above on top of his win

remote cove
#

Going to be my first indycar race I'm watching

#

I hope I can watch the full thing without my dad going Poco loco on bedtimes

short vortex
#

Gonna be honest, I'll be a bit frustrated and annoyed if Dixon wins this one

#

By this one I mean the championship

daring nacelle
#

ye

#

me too

sacred geyser
#

It will prob be the most Dixon thing to happen

#

although if he wins this one then it's almost similar to his 2015 title where he came out of nowhere to win it

short vortex
#

While Dixon has managed to, IMO a lot of times, luck into 2nd place a lot of times. I really don't think he's been competitive enough to have earned this one if he pulls it off

daring nacelle
#

there are people who deserve it more definitely

#

i'd be up for a rossi or newgarden

sacred geyser
#

i'd kinda want Rossi win

daring nacelle
#

inb4 rossi hits marco again and loses himself the title 2 years running

short vortex
#

Hopefully not...

sacred geyser
#

Marco bad

short vortex
#

Honestly, Marco put in some performances this year that at least gave me the impression that a justified argument could be made for him having a seat. Then again the rest of the season he was basically a backmarker more likely than not to be in the way of the fight between leaders...

sacred geyser
#

Even tony kanaan who's been racing for like 22 years has got some good results in

short vortex
#

I think this year was pretty good prove that TK needs to hang it up

they have to mute the feed however

because america doesn't mandate to show the ads for international feeds, but the sound must be there.

I wonder how much Ziggo has to pay to get the footage during the ads...

remote cove
#

they dont even get footage they just get the sea

earnest lagoon
#

imagine having to pay more for having race footage during ad breaks for americans

short vortex
#

Those ad companies pay big money

#

This is 'Murrica, you pay for everything baby

lethal yacht
#

yes

remote cove
#

yes i noticed that

earnest lagoon
#

how is that relevant for out of country broadcasts

lethal yacht
#

if you're not paying you should be paid

#

that's how it works

remote cove
#

muh we get free tap water
no shit your tap water is literally bleach what the fuck

earnest lagoon
#

since they don't show american ads anyways

lethal yacht
#

like F1. If you're not accelerating you should be braking

#

(that's how it worked before the PU at least)

earnest lagoon
#

but pirelli said nope

short vortex
#

Our tap water is not literally bleach, there is not sodium hypochlorite in it. There is however chlorine added for disinfectant purposes

remote cove
#

it tastes like shit

#

no wonder you guys live off of bottled water

short vortex
#

That's area dependent, but also why there are things like water filters and RO systems

lethal yacht
#

i live off Brita stuff to remove the chlorine and lead from my tap water

earnest lagoon
#

I drink tap water as it is as a real man

short vortex
#

Note, depending on where you are in America, you really shouldn't drink the tap water...

flint

lethal yacht
#

lol

#

lots of places in my region are also like this

short vortex
#

LOL, everyone knows about Flint, but there are so many other places with water probably at least as bad if not worse

earnest lagoon
#

I guess the Alps gives us enough fresh river tap water here

lethal yacht
#

too much intrants in agriculture

remote cove
#

we guys in the netherlands are spoiled

#

i wish tap water was colder though

earnest lagoon
#

I get it in bottles and put it in the fridge

short vortex
#

You're also a much smaller nation, makes a big difference...

lethal yacht
#

you're technically 50 states

remote cove
#

much smaller nation but also a high population count

#

america is just 50 countries to be honest

#

size wise at least

short vortex
#

False

lethal yacht
#

the bible belt states aren't different countries

remote cove
#

i mean size wise

lethal yacht
#

ah

remote cove
#

its absolutely huge

earnest lagoon
#

compared to netherlands, maybe

lethal yacht
#

Texas is a bit bigger or smaller than France

#

Alaska doesn't count

remote cove
#

lethal yacht
#

remote cove

lethal yacht
#

earnest lagoon
#

PAGENAUD GO FOR IT

remote cove
#

the crew 2: lets make a 40 minute hypercar race

short vortex
#

The west is substantially larger in terms of state size than the east

remote cove
#

yeah the western states are giant

earnest lagoon
#

long races are enjoyable

#

you kinda get in a zone and limp around

remote cove
#

yeah

limpid escarp
#

Pagenaud is so close to the title right now, just needs to get Dixon first

#

Then hunt down Herta

remote cove
#

lap 34 already damn

earnest lagoon
#

if newgarden keeps dropping he doesn't even need to take herta

short vortex
#

Also, 4000km of driving isn't really considered crazy here. I do more than that for just weekend getaways sometimes 🤷

remote cove
#

earnest lagoon
#

remote cove
#
