2012 Racing Season: NASCAR, Indy, F1, and more

neonfox65, thanks for keeping this thread so current and well-maintained.

The Indy race is tomorrow, and you know it’s going to be a wild ride!🙂

Can't wait for tomorrow's lineup. First Monaco, then Indy, then NASCAR 🙂

Does anyone know who else picks up the IndyCar broadcasts over in Europe besides Sky? I seem to recall ESPN carrying them at one point, didn't they? Or maybe there was some other network involved?

Sky carries the Italian feed—I used that last year. Plus, Sport 5 should have the rights along with Sport TV 3...

I don't have any of that on hand... though I might try to hunt down a stream if I'm feeling up to it.

Too bad you don't have CS...

Regarding the IndyCar situation, based on what I've seen during practice, it looks like this new DW 12 chassis is creating a massive "hole" in the air. This means overtaking should be relatively easy, but there's a catch: these cars can also run in a tight "pack." Isn't that exactly what IndyCar was trying to avoid after that Weldon accident back in Las Vegas?

Let's just hope everything goes smoothly and stays safe.

And we are off! Eleven rows of three, let's go!
The Indy 500 is officially underway!

Looks like Andretti's in the lead for now...

Sato really blew it.

I'm sure Dario will have a wonderful time celebrating with his lovely wife.

Man, oh man, Sato... Huge props to Frankitti—the commentator even pointed out how he’s grabbing this for the third time thanks to a yellow flag. Pretty wild stuff...

Man, Sato, Sato... he was so incredibly close to cementing his status as a true legend...😬 but I guess that’s just classic Sato for you.

I mean, just look at how many overtakes happened compared to Monaco.

And honestly, what’s even the point if the race ends under a yellow flag? They really need to bring in that rule they use in NASCAR—you know, giving them three chances for a Green-White-Checkered finish.

Well, that’s certainly a lot easier to pull off on an oval track... though you have to admit, seeing a record number of lead changes dating back to 1960 is pretty wild. But honestly, what on earth is the point of bringing out the pace car right now?

It’s not just about the oval track—it’s the chassis design too. We saw a record number of overtakes today, and honestly, it’s all thanks to those new chassis characteristics.

What a hell of a race!😍

It would've gone differently if Sato hadn't been so reckless... 😉

Noooooooooooooooo way 😢

Takuma 😢

Kristijan Habulin, hailing all the way from Chicago, absolutely crushed it this past Sunday evening, taking the top spot in the Formula Renault 2000 race over at Imola.

And honestly, folks, we’re talking about the first time an American has ever snagged a win in these "single-seater" circuits—or, if you want to keep it simple and skip the technical jargon, just plain old Formula racing. Earlier that morning, Habulin was sitting pretty in fifth during the first heat, but this guy? He’s a former karting phenom who clearly didn't miss a beat making the jump to formula cars, showing those Italian drivers exactly how it's done on their own turf. This is easily one of the most massive milestones in the history of American motorsports, no contest.
