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

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.

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.

It's not too dissimilar to the Shield. It will be interesting to see how dizzy Scott Dixon gets after he tests it at IMS, next Thursday.

Notice that the Ferrari implementation curves downwards at the front while Indycar's is a flat line. Ferrari's design intrinsically lends itself to more optical distortion.

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

The latest on Belle Isle, per Crain’s Business Detroit:

Quote:
Organizers of the Detroit Grand Prix are facing a new obstacle to bringing the event back after this year.

The site that landscape designer Piet Oudolf has chosen for the garden he's designing for Belle Isle is located where the grandstands are set up during the Grand Prix.

"If the Grand Prix continued, we obviously wouldn't be able to put a grandstand there any longer," Race Chairman Bud Denker said Thursday.
Note the organizers haven't yet submitted a proposal for 2019, though they promise to make a decision about the race's future by early June, when the race is this year.

From what I hear, Detroit has a hipster problem at the moment. Of course, it can and has been worse.

Some good momentum with naming rights sponsors joining the Indycar ranks at the moment with DCR and CGR in the last few days.

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...

Looks like camping opens at 3 pm Thursday afternoon. But looks like Indy weekend is more than Petit and close to 250 bucks to camp and get the paddock pass.

It might be a day trip down on Sat for me, see practice, qualy and PWC for 40 bucks, 70 with a paddock pass.

That's a bit pricy. May be worth it. I looking to buy tickets to a show Friday night but it's already sold out. He is also playing on Thursday so, yeah...
