I'm sure Leena will do well, she's a very good engineer and could certainly make a difference

I'm not a big fan of hinch (whines too much) but love leena gade. Ill miss her commentary at the endurance races though.

IndyCar says the aeroscreen is to be tested at Phoenix next month but doesn't necessarily mean it will be used in competition in 2018 - if at all.

At least they are giving it a proper test, unlike with F1 and the halo saga

Image of the new aeroscreen, it looks good to me, but looks just like the one Vettel tested last year in F1 that he said made him dizzy after one lap.

I am not quite sure what they were going for with that. Maybe they were going for the Halo. |

Yes it looks good and in my view is a better option than the halo. Hope it meets with their satisfaction

PNC Bank to be primary sponsor for IndyCar driver Scott Dixon
http://www.espn.com.au/racing/indyca...er-scott-dixon Some good momentum with naming rights sponsors joining the Indycar ranks at the moment with DCR and CGR in the last few days. |

Glad it's met with approval so far. Hope they develop it to where it needs to be

What a contrast between IndyCar's test and Vettel's three or so laps round Silverstone last year. F1 and the FIA should be ashamed of themselves.

Seems as this is the only place i can ask here, but things are about to start heating up with my schedule (as it does in the Spring, but especially with kids).
I tried to check the actual event schedule for Barber and it's not available. I assume it'll match last years with the track time starting Friday, but when would the gates open for campers? Anyone here ventured to Barber recently??? PM me if we don't want to take up space here... |

Doesn't look distracting for the driver at all. Is f1 not technically savvy enough to figure this out?
