Indy 500 2017

[tandino]

Qualification commences tonight but there's plenty of bad weather around so it's not looking likely at the moment.

Indycar are really on point with their social media, it's been a real delight watching top quality footage of all days of official practice and the Alsono test as well. The footage is going to make it to the internet anyway, you may as well control it rather than it being some shitty screen cap or stream.

Alonso has been impressive as hell so far, he's been up there in the top 5 or so for the last few days of practice, Honda have some engine reliability issues but they have the edge on the Chevys. And he looks like he is on holiday.

That Sebastian Bourdais crash reminds me of the Gordon Smiley one I've seen on yt. The big difference being Sebastian didn't have his brains splattered over the the track.

1st thing i thought of.

Lesson 1 - NEVER try to correct oversteer at 350 k's +

 

[hey shorty]

Nando is a big chance come race day. Seems to relish being back in a battle in decent machinery

 

[tandino]

Bourdais is one lucky guy.

 

[hey shorty]

Nando is damn near going to stick it on pole.

 

[hey shorty]

Down to 3rd with 2 to go.

Top 5 is a huge effort.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I might have to make the effort to watch Fernando in this.

 

[Team DJ]

Fresh reminder of why he is still the best in the world

 

[TheMase]

Alonso is a freak

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Can you guys with Foxtel confirm when this is on?

 

[tandino]

The telecast starts at 1am Monday on ESPN

 

[imadodgyumpire]

The race start?

 

[hey shorty]

About an hour later I think.

 

[darth_timon]

It would be amazing if Alonso could win this.

 

[hey shorty]

He's probably one of the GOATs but this would put him on a different level

 

[tandino]

Great day for motorsport, and it's going to be fascinating to see how the Alonso story plays out.

Does anyone know the exact start time? I'm trying to plan out when I should wake up to see the last half of the race.

ALSO - i had it set to record a few days ago, i checked the planner tonight and it had vanished , i had to redo it.

 

[NSWCROW]

Opera House on the inside of turn 4 lol


( they showed all the things they could fit inside the IMS )
Also , i love Lindsay Czarniak

 

[tandino]

Jeez Tony George looks like a corpse.

 

[Simple Jack]

Really enjoying the occasional sliver of racing I get to see to break up the ads.

 

[tandino]

This Alonso guy really has a bright future ahead of him.

It gives me the shits when they say 2 time F1 world champion because that really doesn't cover it.

He's so much better than that sounds.

So, how about those Honda engines.

At least these ones are quick though...
