96th Indianapolis 500 (Full Race post #430)

[photonrider]

Dario wins Indy for the 3rd time.

Sato got the most publicity.

 

[Patrick]

Well this sucks.

 

[Doth1s]

That finish! Amazing race!

 

[IforceV8]

what a fool...

 

[Rossell2]

First time watching IndyCar full stop.


Sato you numpty.

 

[Earth]

You can hear the crowd roar when he tried to take the lead amazing race!

I can barely type Im shaking so much

 

[Niss]

Fking sato

 

[Antonisbob]

Oh boy, Franchitti has won the 96th Indy 500. Good race!

Bad luck for Sato though.

 

[GTPorsche]

I don't even know how Dario didn't get collected by Sato.

 

[Furinkazen]

Taku is still the crash!

 

[hawkeye122]

Totally gutted for Sato... Should have waited a bit longer. He had a great race.

 

[MustangManiac]

Great race, two down one to go

 

[Tornado]

That's the Takuma Sato I know and love. Too bad. I was pulling for him the whole race and everything. He only had to wait about 10 seconds and he would have had him, too.

 

[Earth]

Sato is my new favorite driver lol

 

[photonrider]

I'm a big fan of Dario, so happy today.

As for Sato - I can't fault him. He was racing his ass off. White lightning got him.

 

[Mic_Col]

How bad would Sato have looked if he had taken out Franchitti when he spun??

Could have easily happened.

 

[GTPorsche]

How did the tire marks get on the nose of Dario's car?

 

[Prince.M5]

Oh Sato. Oh.. WTF?!?

Really, he should've waited for the move but nothing can be done now. It's gone. Disappointing.

EDIT: At the same time, I can't really fault him for that. He was racing anyway just wrong place at the wrong time. Will he still be classified as 2nd or completely out?

 

[scarslasher]

I'm happy for Dario, but oh my GOD that was ballsy of Sato!
He's gained a new fan. That was crazy!

It sucks it didn't work out for him.

 

[The Bman]

Another great victory for Dario. 👍

But how the hell did he not get wrecked by Sato?

 

[neljack]

Must suck going out for a meal with Sato, not being able to wait........

 

[hawkeye122]

I hate Dario's wife. She seems to ALWAYS be on camera. It's not about you, *****....

 

[IndyWolf]

Poor Sato, I was cheering for him to win, should've hold off till turn 3

Props to Dario for the 3 straight wins 👍

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

EDIT: At the same time, I can't really fault him for that. He was racing anyway just wrong place at the wrong time. Will he still be classified as 2nd or completely out?

He crossed start/finish, so likely the last car on the lead lap, or first car scored a lap down.

 

[photonrider]

LOL. Crying over spilled milk.

 

[MustangManiac]

Two hours until the 600, time for some GT5 👍

 

[IforceV8]

Sato 17th

 

[Prince.M5]

I just feel gutted for Sato..

Congratulations to Dario. He drove a good race except for the pit lane incident earlier but yeah. Not bad at all winning the 500 for the 3rd time.

 

[Rossell2]

Sato 17th

He still improved his record I think.

Not a consolation when you had either first or second in your sights.

 

[Omnis]

Indy Car allows driver changes now? Because the #15 car had Yuji Ide take over on the final lap.
