And the apron into turn 3 during green, and the outside of turn 3 during green.

You go to tell Rossi he can't do these things.

Yeah, the rest is a bit of a bore. Here's hoping for 40 laps straight of commercials followed by a sweaty man drinking milk.

The cars are always a challenge to drive. The previous generation could not go full throttle either behind another car. But at least people could battle each other outside of the first lap after a caution. So it seems to me you're looking back to a time that never really existed.

I hate that they had to butcher the perfect cars we had, the races since the introduction of the DW12 have been very very good.

A pass for the race lead, whilst 2 other passes happened too. Someone needs to tell these guys passing is impossible! Can't be done. Cars a disaster.

Hard to tell what's going on here, cable box has gone loopy and looks like bad ota with a defective bit of foil. And what I get to see is a shot of qualifying I think, no ability to zoom out and show more than one car ABC?

Will Power finally doesn't bottle it during a major race!

Wilsons engineer was running the "lets see if fuel creates itself" strategy.

Did they replay Phoenix? Looked like everyone but Penske pitted with 10 to go? But then ABC had made the picture CR@P here so I have no clue

An understandable roll of the dice for Wilson and Harvey, I would've done the same in their place.
I would've quite liked a Wilson victory, for his brother if nothing else, but I can't be unhappy at Power's win.

Don't care what anyone says - good race that. Passes were not as rare as was made out and had to be earned, rather than gifted through the draft. Car was a challenge and those who mastered it (Rossi) were able to use and abuse it.

The TV coverage was so funny it was like a comedy act. My hat is off to the Americans who have to put up with that nonsense week in, week out. Even without the ads, the commentators were so utterly clueless it was great. It really was like some sort of weird parody.

Thank god we get RLM for IMSA.
