The end of a myth! Feel sorry for her but I am pretty sure Ms Gade will find a new well paid job quickly.

I think her experience and wins on the board more than show she cut the mustard as a race engineer. Hopefully some more opportunities in the Indycar paddock open up for Leena |

Oh boy, a puzzle.
Anyway... The position light boards were removed a few races ago because of a glitch and have not returned. Could this glitch be a falling out between the series and the light manufacturer? Has anyone seen anything about this or know the real answer? |

Anyone who expects any engineer in the world to move into something as specialised as IndyCar and be any good within 6 months is utterly deluded as to how complicated motorsport is. We've seen Formula One champions struggle in NASCAR. It's not because NASCAR is too hard and everyone is much better, but rather it's a completely different discipline. Attempting to discredit someone that quickly is poor form and shows a lack of appreciation for the sport. It's not just 4 wheels bolted to a car anymore. |

This is a close competitive series. Not that that's any reason to lessen other series

You mean the 5 Indycar races that Gade worked on?
I am trying to understand where the campaign against Gade is coming from? Plenty of engineers to INdycar have taken longer to find their feet and in contrast - where was Hinch on the championship ladder prior to Indy? |

It's not like she didn't have competition in sports cars. Often that were faster than her cars. This is also a more luck-driven series, depending on when yellows fall. Not that I'm bashing that, mind you.

Marshall Pruett says that Gade struggled mightly at ovals. Road / street courses were fine.

All this is academic, as she has now left.

Of course it doesn't make sense. Marshall is a fanboy of Gade. Of course he would come up with this kind of excuse.
