101st Indianapolis 500- 28 May 2017Open Wheel

[Cowboy]

Yellow flag for debris on front straightaway.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I think somebody may want to get their missing wing back.

 

[BrainsBush]

Still didn't see any roof skidding but thanks highlights

true also boring just like Monaco GP

As of know you can't say that about Indy 500

 

[Vinylshark]

Where are you watching? Sport 1 us? DAZN is great, no ad break so far.

I don't have Sport 1 US. Watching a Livestream with abc feed.
Nice to see that the American commercials are just as awful and annoying as the German ones

 

[Milouse]

I always thought RTL was bad with their commercial breaks, but Jesus, abc really is handing them out left and right.

There's no commercial break on Indycar broadcaster in France (Canal +), but since it buy the video feed to the US broadcaster, we see the "away-to-take-a-leak mode" of the camera director during US commercials periods. (we can be stuck on scenery, or in a cockpit-view)

 

[Jimlaad43]

Alonso's just overtaking people for fun

 

[BrainsBush]

Yep spectacular every minute.

Did Alonso borrow DRS of is F1

 

[diesel97]

Quick question for all the F1 fans out there..., how many would love to see the F1 race 200 laps on Indy? I would

 

[Jimlaad43]

On the GP circuit, yes. On the oval, no.

 

[diesel97]

On the GP circuit, yes. On the oval, no.

Why? I think the F1 drivers could figure out draft and high-speed passing.

Before someone says ovals are boring you have to admit there has ben more passing in half a Indy 500 than all of the F1 races so far I kid of course maybe

 

[Brutaka]

I'm betting on Rossi winning. He's looking TOO good now.

 

[IforceV8]

Dont count Rahal out.

I would like to see it but wonder if F1 with all the rules is also that spectacular to watch at an oval track. Refueling and much more pitstops is taboo and what about DRS disablement? But yeah fun for one race per year

Ooh and please less commercials. Watching on ABC and that's full time commercials and now and then some racing footage . Yep money rules

 

[Leadfoot530]

Just got home; saw the wreck with Dixon and Howard. What a scary incident for both; glad they both walked away.

Cool to see 'Nando running near the front. Keeping my fingers crossed.

How much different is the DRS to "push to pass"? I don't think it would make that much of a difference, besides F1 change their rules every other week anyways

 

[IforceV8]

Next up Scott will explain why the sun moves in the sky.

 

[Cowboy]

Davison black flagged for loose front wing.

Edit: Wreck on Turn 2

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Lazier crashed.

 

[ryandtw]

Lazier crashed...another time Helio gets caught in a close call!!!!!

 

[Leadfoot530]

#44 in the wall. Power lucky to get away unscathed.

DRS can only be used on specific points on the track to pass when a car is less than a second behind. Drivers can't use DRS to defend position.

Push to pass can be used to attack or defend position and can be used almost any time.

No push to pass allowed in the Indy 500, right?

Okay, Helio was ahead of the crash...

 

[IforceV8]

Right.

 

[Kingofweasles]

Sage Karam out with some kind of driveline failure.

 

[Dotini]

Two stops remain for everyone. Alonso now in 2nd?

Penske have helped themselves a bit lot.

 

[Dylan]

Fingers crossed Montoya comes outa no where and steals the win! He's in the top 10!

 

[Cowboy]

Well, another caution. More debris.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

They're saying the 24 died due to a dead battery.

 

[Robin]

The amount of advert breaks you guys have in the US is ridiculous. Like every 5 mins!
