Goodyear commercial. Time for a caution.

 

[Blitz24]

Gordon picked up nearly a second during that midrace report. Can we have another one?

 

[GTPorsche]

He just took the lead.

 

[Blitz24]

He just took the lead.

Had a feeling he would. He was REALLY pulling up on Johnson. He has passed now I think 76 cars this race.

 

[GTPorsche]

Jr on pitroad, and Allgaier has a flat tire.

 

[Johnny1996]

Kahne is behind the wall.

 

[GTPorsche]

These cars are trying to bring out a caution now....

and there it is.

 

[Doodle]

Aaand Carl spins.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Failyear. Have they've learned nothing from Indy 2008?

 

[Gerarghini]

You get a flat, you get a flat, Everybody gets a flat!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Caution coming within the next five minutes.

 

[Jahgee]

Caution coming within the next five minutes.

Called it, debris

 

[GTPorsche]

Caution coming within the next five minutes.

Shocking.

Sounds like Goodyear are in the situation Pirelli were in last year in F1 - the teams are running more camber and the tyres can't cope. Maybe have to come up with a new construction or stop the teams from running so much camber.

Goodyear claims it's too low pressure in the tires.

It's just poor tires by Goodyear for this race.

 

[Adamgp]

Tire issues seem to be more related to the setups. Not the tires themselves.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

54 Laps to go - we're guaranteed at least two more cautions.

 

[GTPorsche]

Hornish is doing pretty good for not turning any laps in the car before the race began.


Edit: Commercial. We all know what that means.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Big damage to Gilliland's car, Caution out again.

E- Wise has lost a left rear too.

 

[Jahgee]

To quote Larry McReynolds
"And we have a caution"

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'm not watching the race, was that the commercial curse again?

Find it hard to believe it's quoting him. There's not enough broken English.

Of course

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Not necessarily. This race is like the tire fiasco at Indy ages ago except the rubber's lasting about 15-20 laps.

He just said it so unemotionally, it's way out of character

Not the same thing. Those were poor construction. This is teams using too much camber.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Not the same thing. Those were poor construction. This is teams using too much camber.

But same result anyways. The racing's product has been compromised.

 

[GTPorsche]

And commercial as the battle for the lead heats up.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

48 team says they've had no tire issues all day...

Loses tire and the race.
