These cars look goofy in still-shots. But in motion, in racing they look credible.
Hopefully that'll follow through with the oval version. |

There will be an initial testing session on May 3rd at the IMS for the new Superspeedway aero-kits, prior to qualifying on May 16 - 17.

IndyCar are currently showing the aero-kit testing session here, http://racecontrol.indycar.com/ but the feed is not great.

they look and sound good for 2 seconds, then stop for 2 seconds for buffering - brutal

It got better longer I kept it open. Honda's definitely seem to have a bit of an edge, nice to see Wilson up there.

Only day one and they are already in the low 220's. Can't wait to see how high they will get.
The stream wasn't great at all, they eventually switched to the YouTube stream. The session later today will hopefully be on the YouTube channel as well. |

Here are the times from the second and final practice session with Montoya on top and it looks like Chevy have the edge over Honda.

Seems like the manufacturer battle is a lot closer on the ovals.

Did anybody get a list of times without tows? I saw they had it on the live timing during the practices.
Also Simona really seems like she deserves a full time ride, I wonder how much the F1 foray last year hurt her sponsorship chances |

Is Ms De Silvestro still sponsored by nuclear energy concerns?

Jean-Eric Vergne's looking for a drive with Andretti Autosport.

As do Wilson, Brabham, De Silvestro and Speed.
In a few years, they could launch the Andretti Championship. |

Castroneves penalised eight championship points following a post-race review of last weekend's race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
He was was determined to have breached Rule 9.3.3, avoidable contact, when he clipped and spun round Scott Dixon. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118960 |

The man makes a good point. Drive through or "no further action" during the race, done. Please no more of this (seemingly-arbitrary) points docking after the fact. |
