US Grand Prix (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) 08/25/2013

Temperature doesn't mean much then. At Indianapolis Motor Speedway, they usually find a dry line fast enough to run on slicks without any drama.

I'm out.

The evo race 2 gp2 is getting underway, and here is everyone in the photos.

Starting from 9th and 10th? It’s definitely better if we don't see any rain.
Between having zero spray and having access to DRS, it makes a difference.

The Sopcast application is truly fascinating 🙏

It offers an image quality that is ten times superior—clocking in at 4000 Kbps—compared to the subpar feed we used to get from Creator TV. That whole mess was triggered when they decided to move their entire setup out to a suburb like Naperville instead of just staying put in the main SPTV studios. It seems our friend with the ponytail has finally hit a reality check; things aren't exactly unfolding according to his grand design, are they?

Does Fernando Alonso actually have an F1 win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway? 😵
Be a pal and tell me what year you were dreaming about. 🍿
Not only does he lack a win, he doesn't even have a pole or a fastest lap... plus, it's the track where his average points per race are at their lowest (aside from Austria, where he scored zero). ☕

By the way, he's basically your favorite F1 champion on the grid who hasn't won a single race at this track...
Even Felipe Massa has a win on this legendary driver's circuit, yet "Mr. 150%" and the "Maestro" himself can't claim one. 🤣

He hasn't won there in Formula 1, but saying he HAS NO WINS at all is just straight-up wrong. ☕

Like I said—it's the best and most useful outcome of this whole Kretenator mess.

Sometimes people are forced by circumstance into finding something much better.

What kind of amateur hour was Kretenator running? With high-speed internet, satellite, and cable TV right at his fingertips, how did he manage that?

I usually just watch the ESPN stream where they have two Mexican commentators. There isn't all that screaming whenever someone overtakes someone else, like you see over at Prasička. People just comment normally, and more importantly, they actually know a lot about Formula 1.

At least for me, since I only tune in for qualifying and the races. 😁

That's pretty much it. I enjoy their broadcasts. 👍

I think we might be in for an interesting race today

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is always a blast, regardless of how much the weather decides to mess with us.👍

If the rain begins to fall and intensifies, I fear we will be forced to endure nothing more than a tedious procession behind the SC. Modern cars are designed with such terrifyingly low ground clearance that even a minor puddle will cause them to hydroplane instantly.☕

🙏 It's the same thing here; the commentators are top-tier, and the best part is there aren't any commercials at all.

Man, please just share that link with the rest of us 😬

Can anyone provide a link?

The sun is shining down on the Spa track.

it asks you to register first—(well, at least I think that's the site they're talking about)

Thanks, the registration went through successfully.
Do they offer any sort of special programming before or after the race, or do they simply broadcast the event from 1:55 PM to 4:00 PM?

There’s a sports broadcast available on TV that doesn't even require you to register... http://sportska-tv.com/kiwi-02/

Nah, they're basically just streaming the ESPN coverage, so you might want to check the ESPN site to see their exact schedule—to be honest, I've got no clue what their specific window is.

Alright, the stream for ESPN is up and running...

I should probably mention that the quality is actually pretty solid. It’s only lagging behind the TV broadcast by maybe two or three seconds.

In any case, I guess it’s worth signing up on the 😉
website.

Exactly.😁 Indianapolis, Canada, and Brazil have consistently been the most engaging races on the calendar.🙏
Most of these newer tracks feel incredibly dull and clinical.

Thanks, Dad. I'll check out that link.🙂

Where can I find that stream?

Edit: Never mind, I found it... (over on ESPN, I think...)

🤣🤣🤣
Wow, so I guess Van der Grade snagged a win at Spa too? Not sure how that even relates to Formula 1. 🤣
And who knows, maybe Chilton won his little bike race around the track one time. 😂

Funny enough, apparently Sebastian Vettel didn't have three wins at Daytona International Speedway before this season, even though he's had plenty of them...
