I go for a pee after someone stuffed it into the wall and come back to a red flagged race.
Was it that bad?

Think they've done it because there is only 8 laps to go and the race would have finished under caution otherwise as there's a lot of debris to clear up.

Take it they don't have green/white/checker in Indycar?

2014 Verizon Indycar Series Round 6 & 7 of 18: Chevrolet Indy Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans

15yvktl.png


Venue: Streets of Belle Isle, Detroit, MI
Track length: 2.385 miles
Race length: 70 laps (166.95 miles)
Lap record: 1:17.4371 (Mike Conway, Dallara IR12-Honda, 2013)

Overview: The Detroit Grand Prix began as a Formula One race in 1982, through the downtown streets surrounding the Renaissance Centre. Ayrton Senna won the last three F1 races held there between 1986-1988. It became an Indycar event under CART sanctioning from 1989 to 2001, moving to Belle Isle in 1992. After a 6 year gap, Indycar returned to Detroit for 2007-8, halting the event subsequently due to economic problems in the city. In 2012 the Detroit race was revived for a third time, despite historical difficulties with the quality of the tarmac surface and paddock\spectator areas. 2014 continues last year's dual 70-lap race format, and will be supported by the United SportsCar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge and Stadium Super Trucks.
