please be respectful about it though. “coronabros” isn’t respectful.

i could suggest you try and talk to the guy at my work who lost his mum and call him a “coronabro”. he wouldn’t be very happy. i know more than ten people who have had it, and several teams here in the uk who have had outbreaks.

you’re entitled to believe what you want but may i suggest adjusting your delivery?

There is no denying that the only way this is transmitted is through close contact with a carrier. Hence the need for social distancing. Whether you think you are immune or not I would request a little more respect to those who are concerned.

On what planet, with any sort of logic would a foreign country allow a virus to spread worldwide, killing millions of people, tanking the economy around with world just to affect the US elections?

Truth? The truth is, cramming 500,000 people into a small space where they cant socially distance will enable the virus to spread....its simple logic.

If you want to talk politics, then look no further than Trump. Allowing places to open back up was purely a political decision to increase his ratings, going against scientific fact and is now being seen with the result of thousands of more deaths, with the death rate increasing on a daily basis while other places like Europe, Australasia have kept it in check.

You're entitled to your own opinion of course, even if it makes ZERO sense.

It's no longer an opinion when you make claims of having information. That's not opinion and factually you are incorrect in every sense of the garbage you post.

And no, the numbers in Indiana are NOT good and are increasing at close to 4x what they were a month ago and the testing rate is showing well over 2x the rate of positives. So no, all is not well and frankly you should read anything with factual information in it and not propaganda before you post.

Good to see that James Davison will have a seat for the Indy 500. He has had some good runs, finished 12th on the lead lap last year.

I hoped for a more surprising name, but good to see at least 32 cars at the Indy 500. DragonSpeed (hopefully with Maldonado and not with Hanley) will be the 33rd as it stands for now.

And Ed Carpenter has a new sponsor for the 500.

Yup, that's the Space Force.

Connor gets the better livery for his USAF car.



Many things in the livery for the Air Force, orange of the X1, car number 47 for the founding in 47 and the classic green of the old test pilot coveralls.

If they had the US Navy and USMC as well, then they'd have the set and the field would have 34 entries and we would have a bump day; if only.

Yeah, think we may see a few withdrawals now? Purse cut by 50% with no fans costing the Speedway 20 million bucks in revenue. The purse isn't much but would it cost a team too much?

https://racer.com/2020/08/07/indy-50...ces-austerity/

Penske has supposedly spent close to 20 million on Indy and the series, 15 million in the Speedway and a couple million on funding the Iowa and Road America rounds as the promoter.

He's run the 500 and Indy road course as guaranteed by the deal to run Penske sportscar program. So to say he have run is inaccurate and frankly a sign you just have to be right. You are incorrect and he has run as his contract allowed.

Well in fairness the new edict does not apply to them in any way so not really accurate reporting there. The edict, executive order is the reality but ok, specifically covers CERTAIN events only and outdoor events, as the article points out from Gateway management, were not included in the new restrictions. They are still restricting capacity and requiring distancing on site.

Good idea, give the circuit some money to keep it going whilst not feeling the need to put yourself at risk health wise

I second that, increases the spacing and supports the track. I would liken it to our support of restaurants in town with their contactless pickup options. Do what ya can to help and anything can help.
