IndyCar 2012

Only just managed to catch up with the race (bloody recording clipped the end due to the delay :().

Was quite an eventful race with the retirements. Felt real sorry for Dario when his car decided to **** itself before the race had even started.

Another win for for RHR has really closed the gap to Power now.

Was also great to see TK get another podium and Rubens get a decent 7th place finish.
 
It seems to be set up for a close Championship at the moment, those no results for Power and Hinchcliffe have made it really tight!

Will be interesting to see who can keep the momentum on the upcoming circuits.
 
Just sat down to catch up with the action to find my recording was all messed up... Oh well have to watch it from where it is and Sky Sports 2 is all messed up too.

Rubbish :(

Will have to try catch a rerun.
 
Sounds pretty good, although I imagine it always would when I can't see it :p

Would be great for Pagenaud to get a win, he's having a great season for a Rookie, would like to see TK have another good result.

Oh well will have to keep my eyes open for a rerun of the race, hope it's a good one for you, enjoy it mate :)
 
Managed to catch up tonight... Luckily the recording of the rerun was alright :)

Was getting ready to type how it was a race with very little in the way of incidents, and then the last few laps happened :p

Felt sorry for Wilson he was having a good run, same for Bourdais, was on course for a decent finish after that restart.

Good to see that one remaining Lotus car proving to be a contender... feel real bad for Simona now, she can't look forward to racing at the moment, even when the car does run it's dog slow.

I suppose if nothing else the last few results have certainly shaken the championship up more!
 
Now if the commentators would just shut up about his diabetes :p

Oh god yes, it's getting a bit ridiculous now :p



It's unreliable too - 6 mechanical DNFs in the 9 races so far.

It's been a total disaster when alls said and done, can't see them being around next season... Or the end of this season even!


RHR's made zero driver errors and had high reliability, thats usually a pre-requisite for a championship challenge :) but he's also a lot faster than the several years he's spent in the upper midfield eking out the odd win. If he does take this year's title, he'll be the first American driver to do it since Sam Hornish Jr in 2006.

It's pretty amazing, Indycar seems so American in some ways, but isn't dominated by Americans, it's quite nice really that it is totally international when it could have ended up quite different.
