>New literal whos like Enerson

on hey Indycar, how much i missed you

Green flag lads

Oh yeah, forgot about the meme starting procedure since the start finish straight is so short and not really straight.

>Meme Chilton is still a thing

Dubs and someone is going to do a repeat of michael andretti in '98

how many races has the racing god chilton finished consecutively?

Why is Montoya so invisible this season bros?

He's literally JUST: the racer.

Which lap does Montoya drop out of the race?

Lap 50-65.

I love Mid-Ohio. I've gone to this race a few times, always sitting in the big grassy area.

It's more fun to watch a race on tv when you're really familiar with the race track.

THE CITY OF SCOTT DIXON.

>dixon

>dicks on

>The City of Dixon

Aussie fans have it tough watching indycar
(its monday morning there)
DICKSON

>Dixonn
you fucker almost take out Helio

>Dick's son

He was blocked.

im glad the other driver wasnt taken out in that, that was a pro piece of a defending, looked like he opened the door but he didn't at all and dixon fell for it completely

About 30 laps after RHR does.

not a chance, it's not Helio's fault Dixon forgot where the curb was

IF YOU NO LONGER GO FOR A GAP THAT EXISTS YOU ARE NO LONGER A RACING DRIVER t. Ayrton

How is that not a penalty? Looked like blocking to me.

>fuck all happened so decide to watch robot wars
>something then happens
fuck sake

How? Dixon was never close enough for that move to work, it was like he expected helio to give him a red carpet free pass

Lads, I love the autoracing but it's such a rich boy sport.
>tfw wasn't born rich
>tfw dad didn't own a construction company
>tfw didn't have a giant trailer of go karts
>tfw no $100k formula jr car

Where were you, lads, when dixon was kill?

At Sonoma, when he won double points :o)

it's not a rich boys sport, you just had to have a parent/parents motivated enough to dump money into your karting career and then hope to get picked up/pay your way to getting into the top series

Same situation here lad
>tfw my country is full of soccer/footballheads
>tfw i dont have a dad who used to be a racer
why even breathe

We /Aleshin/ now

i have to admit, once a good chunk of the guys in race series I watch are younger than me (25) I can't help but be jelly. when I was a kid I never thought about how old a driver was, now a guy six years younger than me is debuting and a guy two years older than me (Rahal) has been around almost a decade.

Save money so your son or daughter (male) can do it

Because he was right next to him, hence why they made contact. Are you blind?

>Montoya in first

work 2/3 jobs as well, if you want your kid to make it, make it work for them, also teach them not to be a shit driver

GETEM mikhail yuss

/Aleshin/ in 3rd

>CASTRONEVES

CHILGOD

Dixon's revenge

>Helio

>city of castro-neves offroad edition

He was not beside, he hit the curb and speared helio. Helios car was turning and dixons car was still pointing straight.At some point you need to slow down and actually turn

>The Hinch getting pinched

>Crapwagons in charge of not falling apart

when does the DW12 meme end?

MEME CHILTON IS GONNA WIN LADS.

When they start letting good ol American dirt racers back in

/f1/ peasant stopping by to ask a question: is Filippi still racing in IndyCar? how did he fare?

Clean air wins Lol

>cars are louder than the commentary
thank you, nbcsn

Flippy shows up from time to time.

Nobody seems to care about him though.

I that feel. All the top young prospects in sports are suddenly younger than me. It's like missing my acceptance letter to Hogwarts all over again.

No he's been pushed aside for ride buyers with more money. He was pretty good considering he only drove for shit teams, I'd say

He raced in Toronto this year along with the first few races. He did alright for someone with a shit team/car.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_Filippi#IndyCar_Series_results

motor racing started out as a hobby for rich gentlemen; it's always been a money sport.

MAD RUSSIAN THAT'S ACTUALLY A RUSSIAN

ALOTION IN IN FIRST.

Sadly now, money is overpowering talent

Why you hef to be mad

No joke, my family parks in the USAC office parking lot for the indy 500 every year. It's looking a bit shabby these days

>chelsea
>fratellis
>puma
end me

eh, pay drivers have been around for decades.

Then again, it is getting a bit ridiculous when you look at Stroll in Euro F3 this season for example

CHEEKI BREEKI.

>munoz has literally no sponsors on the car
The city of andretti autosport, lads

Go alotion potion!

>Sato in top three

GRORIOUS NIPPON.

>Motion and Sato in the top 3

is there a full moon or something?

>it is getting a bit ridiculous when you look at Stroll in Euro F3 this season for example

This. Remove Marco

>dad buys top f3 team
>lapdog teammates, move over to give him wins
>only car on the grid with dry ice air cooler for the engine.
>williams produce special suspension parts, only for his car.

Piquet Jr had his own f3 and GP2 team, but this is a step above imo.

Some guy I never heard of stalled on pit road.

Seriously, who are these guys?

i look forward to seeing him crumble in gp3/2

>DJ: SO YOU RACEN CARS N SHIT. WHAT THAT BE LIKE MY NIGGA?
>Sato: ...

Apparently Max showed up too with some gaylord jeans.

>indygestion

Rc enerson. Has a good record at mid-ohio in junior shit. Dale coyne picked him up because he has few standards, and gabby has been a shitter all year anyway

Stroll is embarrassing but not as disgraceful as the entire Euro F3 season last year.

Indy lights kid who cut his season short with Schmidt to get a chance in Indycar. This is his debut with Dale Coyne but there's a lawsuit brewing because his dad seems like a shit.

racer.com/indycar/item/132432-indycar-schmidt-sues-enerson-s-father

He'll probably move to Prema's GP2 team next season, then a pay drive in F1 for 2018.

Still, Chilton and Piquet Jr have shown that no amount of money can replace talent.

that hurt me just as bad as it hurt you.

i know the joke was meant to be that it was a terrible joke, but it was still painful

lel, I always hated Stroll for being F3's crashkid and a spoiled little shit who didn't care about binning his car every other race since daddy would just pay for it but I didn't know about that part. What a faggot

Stroll palyed a key part in turning F3 into the shitshow it was last season

He also got big air in toronto last year, almost crashed into the catchfence

chilton is such a fag

still love him tho

i like piquet jr though, he drives almost everything from FE, nascar and rallycross.

He doesn't drive them by choice

I remember him doing a few rolls at Monza I believe and that seemed to be what set the impending shitslide after. Were there more incidents with him earlier in the season? These are two I can bother remembering

youtube.com/watch?v=YtyY50gMEts
youtube.com/watch?v=4gwuySB_weU

the worst moment was him taking out rosenquist on the kemmel straight last year.
Think he fucked up @ monza too.

It's shame really, the junior series are supposed to be about talent.
Red bull juniors etc is one thing, but this is BS.

Yeah to be fair, post-crashgate PK has been alright.
He's certainly been willing to drive anything; I was rooting for him in FE last year

Stroll seems like an obvious choice for Haas F1, unfortunately.

At least he'd be more entertaining than guti

Still on the topic of shitty drivers getting good seats
>Michael Andretti interview during yesterday's Indy Lights race
>A lot of fans want to see Marco improve and fight for the championship
>Michael says that Marco is having a tough stretch right now that every driver goes through
It must really suck being Marco considering that he has been on a tough stretch for 10 years already

He took Rosenqvist and Mikkel Jensen out at Spa. Pretty ugly crash and they were lucky to walk away uninjured, could have been a lot worse. Stroll got a one race ban for his reckless driving
