    This aeroscreen will be a game changer for INDYCAR I think.

    There certainly will be more crossover interest I think.

      Reminds me of some of the 70’s Indy cars.

          To call the Ferrari braintrust imbeciles would actually be a compliment. That’s how bad it’s gotten.

            It sure would be and for Ferrari to lecture journalists about strategy at a meeting called for the purpose! insane.

            Also, Alfa is coming apart as well. I wonder what the deal is there.

              Makes you think it’s possible for Williams to pass Alfa by the end of the season.

                I don't care who you are or what your background is, when you spin a car coming in to the pits, the owner will be unhappy about it.

                    Helio has had his fair share of brainfarts but this situation was all on James Davison missing his pit box and going well below pit speed limit.

                    The one-offs and rookies continue to ruin the Indy 500 for the veterans. Ericsson's lock up and crash into the pits causing the yellow flag totally ruined an absolutely brilliant fuel run by Dixon. He absolutely would have been a factor in the end (Rahal/Bourdais incident probably would have not happened) and now he's 40+ points out of the championship lead.

                    It was an amazing few seconds that flipped this race, as Rossi had his massive problem in the pits and opened the door for Dixon's strategy to work, and then seconds later Ericsson barfed at pit-in and it was game over for Dixon, getting caught out on the yellow and then being behind the Rahal/Bourdais incident and getting damage which sent him further back.

                    The pit issues in this race for many drivers were quite frankly unbelievable. Will Power had a terrific mess on his hands as well, hitting one of his crew and running over a hose.

                    Jay Howard almost killed Dixon two years ago. Ericsson (rookie) made a mess of the race this year. Davison also a factor this year. Oriol Servia blocking Rossi a lap down. Are you kidding me? How will Indycar address these issues in future 500s before someone gets killed? I know some one-offs do well (Daly!) and some veterans also get into trouble to be fair but... it does seem there is an issue that needs to be addressed here.

                    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                      Yes, the inexperienced drivers or just plain bad drivers will end up killing someone.
                      I believe that’s What led to Wheldon’s accident. Too many newbies or **** drivers in front of him.

                      And speaking of the danger, I think Indy needs to mandate drivers stop heading toward the inside of the pit wall on the front straight. That’s a disaster waiting to happen where a car flips up over the pit wall and fatally injured njures several people.

                          looks good! I've been quite some time in Italy and on my facebook feed the trailer is coming across in Italian.
                          also watch for " the art of racing in the rain", The book is worth a read.

                              Did you notice that in those clips the drivers' head were essentially the same height as the top of the roll bar. ?

                              There has been many changes since then, but at least safety has improved and not so many guys get killed.
