Re: IndyCar 2013
Who else is going to watch the second race in the Triple Crown?

I'm watching, but I fear it might get boring. Don't care much for oval racing except when it's Indianapolis.

Pocono almost seems like a road course. All three turns are different.François wrote:What

Re: IndyCar 2013
Sato just kamikaze'd Hunter-Reay in the pits.

Re: IndyCar 2013
I was a month old when Indycar had last raced at Pocono. Although I don't think the race was thrilling, it was interesting throughout to see how the strategies would unfold. Also to have the top 10 cars so close together throughout the race was great.
I can't wait for the second double header weekend now.

Re: IndyCar 2013
This should be exciting though I am worried that the excitement could be anticlimactic. If race control needs to abort the start, then the cars will proceed to do another formation lap followed by a rolling start. I'd say the chances that one of the drivers stalling are high considering this is the first standing start for the DW-12, and that would necessitate the standing start to be aborted.François wrote:Standing start!

Apparently Dario has narrowly beaten Bourdais (!) to claim pole. These two in a class of their own.
Re: IndyCar 2013
Anyway. Dixon has won from Bourdais, and Franchitti crossed the line in third - before receiving a penalty (he's standing on the podium and still doesn't know about it).
Bourdais was so happy. Then his trophy broke on the podium.

Re: IndyCar 2013
So... the standing start was aborted. But they're trying again today!
So happy for Bourdais. I know he's been (understandably) down this year and the podium meant a lot to him.

Re: IndyCar 2013
I couldn't watch the race but apparently Dixon has won again, leading Castroneves and an elated Bourdais (who had earlier received a replacement for yesterday's broken trophy).
Where did Will Power finish? Why, in the wall again of course!

Re: IndyCar 2013
It was a great race though. Very fast with few incidents until the end. I prefer to see races where the best drivers win.
Re: IndyCar 2013
Sato hasn't done so well lately.
