What a fantastic race, it was definitly wayy more exciting than the earlier monaco gp (which was very good as well). But it just shows the difference.
Mark webber was able to block as much as he want for almost 10 laps. Where in indy the regulation force them to leave a car length in the inside and look what we had. 30+ change for the lead!
Only thing I have to complain is the caution should be handled quickly, also the commercials man... At lap 20 when marco crashed I was SCREAMMING and pulling my hair out because the commercial ....

Watching the Detroit buildup now - oh my. Is anyone else finding the layout as terrible as I am?
Re: IndyCar Series 2012 *Indianapolis 500 | May 27*
lol it's actually "terrible"... on all accounts. The tarmac's coming apart and cars are crashing. o_o

Unbelievable. I'll be surprised if they go racing again, doesn't look like it's something that can be fixed quickly.

They want to patch it, gonna take at least 40min.François wrote:Unbelievable. I'll be surprised if they go racing again, doesn't look like it's something that can be fixed quickly.

So apparently the race was eventually restarted and ran to the 60th lap. Dixon wins from a late-charging Franchitti, with Simon Pagenaud in third.
