That would be sweet, but IRP (Orielly's) is too small for the big cars.

DF, could you remove the "00:" thing next time you publish oval lap times? Outside North America we do care about lap times.

NaBUru38 · 16 May 2010, 22:49 (Ref:2692077)

That's why I said "other cars". Dunno which. They must be relatively powerful and cheap.

Missed most of but that's a very impressive time by Helio and particularly Will Power.

Andy Roberts · 17 May 2010, 00:33 (Ref:2692125)

WOW Helio is flying man!!!

Does anyone know if the 500 is shown or available on the web to watch after the race? Being in New Zealand is not on until stupid o'clock Monday morning and only on Sky why I don't have. If I can watch it on a website Monday night that would be great!

You could check out www.indycar.com, which is the official IICS site and I know they stream live and may have some info and there is also www.indy500.com, which is the official site for the IMS.

Thanks yeah, I guess they will show highlights like the do the current Indycar rounds, but was looking for a full race recap. I know iTunes had it last year, so hopefully they'll do the same again.

Can't wait!!

Should be good but it would be so much better if they go rid of those Dallaras.

Why does Tony Kanaan have FIVE cars to practice?

He's Andretti's Babylon 5.

marcostraz · 17 May 2010, 14:10 (Ref:2692561)

I like very much the spot "Shootout for the Pole" with Morricone's music that I'm seeing during the streaming view of practice...but is it a tv spot? Is it being televised?

marcostraz · 17 May 2010, 17:07 (Ref:2692677)

Watching these first two days of testing, I noticed that this year the trail looks very strong and many drivers took advantage of it to realize their best times...maybe this means that we'll see a more wild race this year?

Out of the entire Andretti table, he has the best ability in the set-up area of driver skills to give the cars a decent basic set-up baseline that the other drivers and their engineers can adjust to suit that specific driver's needs and comfortability in the car.

In a condensed Indy schedule that now will be even more compact due to a rainy forecast for most of this week, that was a smart move by Andretti Autosport to put TK in each of the five cars to give them a good benchmark from which to begin the dial-in process when they do get on the track.

mountainstar · 18 May 2010, 16:54 (Ref:2693422)

Dang I didn't even know the 500 was going on, too busy with other exciting things, guess a bunch of other people feel the same.

The weather sucked over the weekend (rainy and cold) and most of the track time was set aside for the ROP/Refresher teams and drivers.

Hell, I'm a hardcore Indy 500 fan who has missed only 5 races since 1967 (lived out of town at the time), but even I had no desire to sit in the cold and the drizzle and freeze my butt off just to see if Sebastian Saavedra was going to pass all four phases of his Rookie Test.

Not the first time he's driven all of the AA cars in practice. AA are using him to get a baseline set up on their fleet of cars before handing them over to their regular drivers.

NaBUru38 · 18 May 2010, 18:40 (Ref:2693481)

Curt Cavin said that Andretti wanted to make sure that all cars were fine.

Who is Sebastian Saavedra? Seriously have never heard of him. Should I have?

He drove in Indy Lights last year (I think for Vision) and he is with Bryan Herta's FILS team this year.

In addition the the lights schedule, they are doing a one-off for the 500 as well.

He is a 19-year-old Columbian driver who has done well in lower levels of competition, like Formula Renault, etc.

He has a website...Look up his creds for the full picture, but Herta thinks the kid has good potential.

Viso just hurt hisself. Hope it's not a bad back problem.

Anybody have a pic of the #19 car? I watched it on track today, not a sign of the Boy Scout's endorsement anywhere on it. I'm hoping that's a T car before getting my nickers in a wad about it.

I watched the #19 car roll out from the garage today, they are right across from Andretti's garages. I was talking to Danica's crew, I wasnt paying much attention, sorry.
