lights setting up for a good finish

What happened to Newgarden's point standings?
Kek

wew sorry it should be 547, not used to my new keyboard

where is the ovale?

no more ovals this season for indy

if you want to see an oval watch the NASCAR race taking place after this one

But stick around for what will almost assuredly be a KINO Watkins Glen race.
Wet race and Indycar drivers go together like oil and water.

Red flag

Shit

what an anticlimactic end the lights season wew

Fucking Killnan 'fan favorite' threw a temper tantrum because he crashed his car and Chip wouldn't let him waste team money.

So glad that fuck has no car next year.

Hello
What level of performance are the Indy Lights comparable to? Formula 2?

basically yes
to put it like a college sat

indy lights is to indycar as F2 is to F1

This Telitz kid is good. Cool under pressure.

F2 are probably a bit quicker, but Lights have to run ovals cheaply too

Indycars have ~750hp while indy lights have ~500hp, chassis are ~1500lbs. So indycars are slower than f1 but faster than f2, but lights are slower than f2. indy chassis are spec (dallara) to control costs.

F2 is about as fast as indycar, pound for pound. F2 cars have 4.0 Liter V8s running 620 horespower or so. Indycar runs a 2.2 liter turbo V6 with anywhere from 550 to 700 horsepower depending on boost.

F1's performance is still absolute king. No idea on horsepower numbers since it's all so secret and they are hybrids, but they can do 330kph with a medium downforce setup and pull almost 6g's in turns.

Indy Lights are awesome thought because they are really cheap.

>Formula One's feeder series is faster than America's premiere series

How long until race guys?
1 hour or 2?

I think Super Formula is on par with IndyCar or approaching it, too

Guys to watch today:
Sebastian Bourdais
Josef Newgarden
Alexander Rossi
Scott Dixon

Bourdais is a good driver in the rain. It's his first road course back in the car and he'll be chomping at the bit.

Josef is our Points Leader right now. The prospective champion can't afford any mistakes, BUT he also can't afford to finish behind Scott Dixon in either of these last two races.
Alexander Rossi is our pole sitter. Rainy Conditions will throw everyone for a loop, he's not concerned about points so much as a win.
Scott Dixon, another year and another championship he's contending for. His main goal, like Newgarden, is to finish ahead of all of his championship competitors.

Buckle up gents, should be a great race.

Indycars today are about as fast as F1 cars from 2014.

Use that for reference, 2014 was a slow season for F1.

No Besweet stream today guys
he went camping

1 hour

I got a spot on my couch, bb

...

Oh you americans so crazy, going into the wilderness without electricity, internet or ac to spend a day or 2 to "relax".

Thank you

You're lucky you posted that, I was about to go to bed when I saw it.

thanks lad

but I'm not too fond of becoming a part of acestream botnet, is the Canadian Streamer doing a yt one?

no Pinty's bro is streaming the Nascar truck race at 2 instead. He rarely streams indy.

F1 and Indy are about the same HP but F1 is lighter, better brakes, and has hybrid boost up to ??? More hp.

They also cost 10x as much and maybe half truly perform at a level higher than Indy.

>PRESS B TO CHANGE TO ENGLISH AUDIO TRACK
NO

Another (likely inferior)Acestream

Good to have many options.

kek, Viasat is broadcasting the audio of them rehearsing.

I hope this will be more exciting than todays F1 race.

Current F1 cars are around 900hp.
Pretty substantial difference.

The amount of HP between the series might have been similar in 2014.

Prerace is live.

tracks been wet all day so it should be

Indy Lights looks like big GP3

I thought thumbnail was a showerhead

alright posse lets get it today

That's NBCSN in HD
It works well for now

Is /traps for troops/ still a sponsor?

>implying this will be anything but a dixon 15 second victory

if anyone finds a youtube stream please post it I'll be out tonight by the time the race starts

I hope they don't pray to god before the race

that is always the most retarded thing about these races

I hope they do, fedora.

>confusing Indycar with you and your wife's sexlife

They should just run 75% ovals desu

Have a BT Sports ESPN ace

Do you unironically believe a man with superpowers lives in the sky?

Pls no.
One more Super Speedway is all the schedule really needs as ovals are concerned.

why didn't god save justin wilson when they prayed before pocono?

pretty useless god desu

Should it not have started 15mins ago?

joke's on you, I've never been in a relationship, let alone had sex h-haha

Better off with Viasat for no ads, m8.

8 more superspeedways, drop the short tracks.

DEGENERATE

BT Sports is also no ads m8

No, I appreciate the history it has within our culture and it's ability to create purpose because nihilism is a crock of shit.
It also increases birth rates because athiests have no children.

Move on.

no the one true God lives in hell

Oh right, I'm thinking of Fox Sports Asia 3

>the history it has within our culture

There should be an European leg again.
Enough circuits are suited.

RAIN IN 5

I hope you support Bourdais guys.

>the history it has within our culture and it's ability to create purpose
you mean its ability to control the thoughts and behavior of peasants

But Lausitzring is closing, m8

>this means that it hasn't had a large effect
The Founders were enlightenment thinkers, many of them believed in a God who was a hands off architect.
Disdain for religion is very much rooted in Marxism and postmodernism, which ironically enough was created through the evolution of the counter enlightenment in Germany designed to save the German Christian culture.

how did mah boy Urrutia did in Indy Lights?

would be cool desu, and always plenty of european drivers but im not sure they are very known over there

Is it? I only know it changed owners, recently there was the WSBK at the Lauzitsring.
I'm not talking about speedways.

Hi Marx.

you realize that marxism and atheism was the reason the allies were able to beat hitler and the nazis in ww2, right?

#Race4Houston

Hmmmm....
>pic related

of course

2nd

finished 2nd in race and championship

>defends religion by ranting about marxism

Religious Americans in a nutshell

Fucking Australia does it again

Russia defeated Germany, not the Allies.

It was Russia's military, not Marxism, that defeated Germany.

Communism proceeded to kill 100+ million people, starve their populations, and destroy the countries at large.

Russia's Military was literally built and fought for marxist beliefs

Marxism won ww2, no matter how much you don't want to admit it

IndyCar racinf

"russia" was part of the allies...

this

Comintern

I'm not very religious.
I just don't understand how you can't see the benefits religion has afforded every single population, tribe, and nation.
It depends on the religion obviously, but Europe would all be Muslim if the first crusade had failed, Christianity offers a rallying point.

Marxism and atheism was the reason Hitler came to power

Hitler was a devout christian, you dumbfuck

how many cars will retire to give Marco a nice default finishing position?

ROBIN MILLER GRID SHUFFLE

I gave all my money to #Houston, did you?

Carpenter confirmed for driving.
Kek, guess who doesn't know Hitler.

>text x number to give $10 to a charity for houston
I assume that means only about $2 actually gets where it needs to, because inevitably there will be some Jews towards the top who need to be paid

One of these days Robin is going to trip and bust his ass
