In the wake of Justin Wilson's accident, materials for better head protection are to be tested at today's and Saturday's open test at Phoenix.

Live T&S at http://racecontrol.indycar.com right now from Phoenix. Turn 1 camera on IndyCar Facebook page if you want to watch cars zoom by.
Anyone know why Gabby Chaves is testing in the #7? |

There was some footage on periscope as well (www.periscope.tv/indycar). Almost 188mph average speed, very brisk pace for a 1 mile oval.

If anyone's interested, IndyCar Facebook page has a Phoenix turn 2 live camera (also showing part of pit lane) right now.
T&S on racecontrol.indycar.com as usual. Helio's going fastest, 191 MPH more or less. Update: yellow flag with less than 30 min. left, Hawksworth apparently into the wall, Facebook camera feed now offline. Hawksworth info from comments in T&S chat so goodness knows how accurate it is, since I haven't seen anything official. Last edited by rwintle; 28 Feb 2016 at 02:44. |

He got into the marbles and drifted up into the wall, looked like some suspension damage.

In case anyone's still wondering: James Jakes to Manor's WEC effort this year. I suppose that's not mutually exclusive of an IndyCar seat, but I'd guess we won't be seeing him this year.

Thank you very much Mr. Turtle. Is this making anyone else wish for a Sebring IndyCar race? |

New Penske livery to celebrate the team's 50th anniversary: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/123194
Looks good to me. |

Ganassi had a silver livery for the 2014 Indy 500, marking their 25 year partnership with Target. TK's car had more red, to distinguish it from Scott Dixon's car. |

Yeah it's weird they haven't gone gold, unless silver is Roger Penske's favourite colour

You're right, silver for 25, gold for 50. Wonder if they'll run a diamond livery in 2026...

Thinking about it, Gold can be pretty garish. Though a light/white Gold I think would have worked. Maybe some one on rFactor could do a tasteful Gold livery?
