2013 Indycar

[NSWCROW]

Rd1 St Petersburg Florida. ( Half Airport-Half Street race )

Biggest question is which nobody will beat Will Power for the title this year.
Will has pole.

 

[stmookeyj]

Bigger story is the lack of Honda power in the top 6, both Dixon and Dario (and Hunter-Reay) well down the time sheets. Of more concern to Power is that Takuma Sato is alongside on the front row so there may be a banzai nose chop into turn 1. De Silvestro is in nosebleed territory for her too (P3), although this year her car has an engine rather than Fred Flintstone's feet powering her.

Hinchcliffe won.Dario crashed into the wall coming out after the 1st pitstop.Power was running 3rd late in the race when he got taken out by JR Hildebrand under caution.

JR Hildebrand

Puts even MORE pressure on Will on the ovals now ffs

Except Briscoe is gone.he's now driving for Penske in the American Le Mans series and won his class race last week.
BTW what's going on with his old car this year ?
The Dinger is doing about 4 races in it,including Indy 500,but is it not being run in other races ?

Dario's racing has gone the same way as his marriage - down the crapper.
BTW Briscoe has secured an Indy 500 ride with Ganassi Racing.

I think it was late last year.There's been recent talk of her entering federal politics in the USA.

He got hit by the car in the pit bay behind him as he came into his pit bay

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

James Hinchcliffe passes Sato on the final corner to win the Brazilian indycar race.
His 2nd win this year.
Will Power started 22nd , pushed through the riff-raff to 11th but had an engine fire and did not finish

 

[NSWCROW]

Indy Pole day a washout so far.
I assume this is just morning practice as coverage continues at 6.30am aest

Will Power clocked top speed of the month in the early morning practice.
229.808 mph

Ed Carpenter on pole
Will starting 6th

I watch that Indy Lights race and that was an amazing finish.Coming off turn 4 and the guy that won was well behind the other 3,but he got a good tow behind the white & red car.

Cmon Marco.

Hard to believe the Andrettis bewteen them have probably entered the event nearly 70 times. (My Guess: Mario and Michael 20 each. Jeff and John 10ish each, Marco 8ish)
Mario has 1 win. Thats it
