Spicy Will is back

I'm waiting for the day Will has another two birds one race incident.

Simon is OK, brake failure.

Seeing that instantly reminded me of Greg Moore so I'm glad he's okay.

Unbelievable that this berm still exists on a racetrack today.

Unbelievable that this berm still exists on a racetrack today.

While it's probably not a good thing to have, I think it's what made this particular crash end a lot better. The berm started the roll, which made him lose all his speed and only barely hit the tire barrier. The rolls were fast, but not very violent. I think this was pretty much a best-case scenario for a brake failure at that speed.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Simon is OK, brake failure.

I don't see a difference.

 

[-Fred-]

I don't see a difference.

Andretti was clipped by another car while Pagenaud lost brakes but the result is exactly the same. The very big difference is that the Reynards, Lolas and Swift from 1998 looked at least 200x better than today's cars, but that's just me.

Daly .3 faster than Helio on blacks and .06 slower on reds in warmup. Rahal P1 on a drying track.

 

[Dylan]

3 in a row for Alex Palou with todays win. It’s wild he’s leaving Ganassi at years end.

 

[Veinz]

I hope he gets a shot at F1.

 

[IforceV8]

Does he want to win or be Lando?

Simon Pagenaud has not been cleared to race this weekend.

 

[JackRyanWMU]

 

[IforceV8]

He is most likely taking one of those seats next year so this is good practice. Maybe Helio moves back to IMSA and the Acura with a one off Indy 500 run in '24.

 

[IforceV8]

 

[Veinz]

There has been some really nice moves so far. Palou on Grosjean was a beauty.

 

[IforceV8]

Lundgaard is a wheelman.

 

[Northstar]

LUNDGAARD WINS!

Nice rebound by Palou as well.

 

[Veinz]

That wing was getting pretty sketchy

Toronto: 7,5/10

Nice race, good moves, good lols, good finish. What a refreshing Indycar season with the small bummer Palou running away in the championship.

 

[JackRyanWMU]

Palou with his front wing practically falling off, still gets a podium. Dude has a lucky horseshoe permanently attached to him this year.

 

[Dylan]

 

[JackRyanWMU]

Simon Pagenaud still not cleared to race for Iowa.

 

[Northstar]

When did Peacock start doing side by side? It’s still not great but certainly an improvement over the splash screen we used to get during commercial breaks.

 

[IforceV8]

The stream is only 1 lap behind the over the air broadcast too.

I think this is the first week cause they weren’t doing it during Toronto. (At least during the replay I watched)
