Fantastic stuff. Pulled an all-nighter last year and it almost killed me.

I have a sneaky something something on Santino Ferrucci for the win, the kid is as mad as a cut snake.

**** man. It was a long time for Will Power to win the Indy 500. But now he could quite possibly win again?

TWO TIME WINNER!

 

[hey shorty]

No, but his teammate can...

Rookie of the year and top 10 pretty much all day. Not bad for a 150-1 shot.

I'm so so angry, sent an email to the local MP yesterday

It really sucks to lose such a large motorsport event when we don't have many.

 

[Klyntonius]

The corners look pretty flat, not banked as steep as I thought. Maybe an optical illusion?

[hey shorty]

Gonna sound really cold but I'm glad this style of racing still continues despite the accidents.

RIP young man.

It breaks my heart to hear this type of news but I agree with you 100%. Competitors go into events like this and the Dakar with their eyes open - they know the dangers - yet they still find the risk is worth it. In an increasingly sanitised world, it's thrilling to see these people really laying it all on the line.

Rest easy, Daley.

It appears Anthony West had lost his ride in the Brazilian superbike championship (which he was leading).
