Hearing some reports on Twitter that Dragon Racing will have only one car for the rest of the year. Bourdais will run it on the road courses, while Legge will run the ovals.

If you knew Michigan weather, you'd realize this don't mean sh*t. Unless you can actually see it raining out, these percentages don't mean nothing.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
Indycar qualifying format splits the field into two groups and the grid is ordered by group.

LOL. That track surface is looking really good right now.
I feel bad for Hinchcliffe though. He got screwed there.

At least they're trying to fix it... NASCAR would just let them go yellow until past halfway and call the race.

They're at halfway now. Couldn't IndyCar call the race now? There can't be much daylight left in Detroit...

They're on Lap 45 right now, meaning they've only completed 44 laps. They have to be on Lap 46 in order for this race to be considered official.
As far as daylight, the sun doesn't start setting till about 8 pm, so they've still got time.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
I think IndyCar needs a serious re-think about running at tracks that have poor racing surfaces.

I think all they need to do is have a closer inspection of it. Belle Isle is a good track, and they've ran there before, but they didn't inspect the track too well it looks like. Well, from a first glance, it looks like that.

They haven't had enough running on the track with the Indycars for the problem to be discovered. Most of the practice had rain.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
Per IndyCar Twitter feed: race shortened to 60 laps. Cars may change tires, but only with same compound (reds change with reds, blacks with blacks). All laps will count (even under caution).

TV says they might consider going the full distance now.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
Ill be shocked if we get 1 green flag lap in, not beacuse of the track, but beacuse of the drivers taking too many risks.
If we go to lap 60, that is.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
So why are we only running 15 laps again, besides the fact that if we go the full distance, it would be running past sunset??

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
I don't mind Dixon as much as Dario. Seriously, never again. Please. I'm surprised this is only the 1st bad indy car race they've had this year. If they can't get the whole track fixed up next year, then they have no business being back there IMO. Plus, why Indy Car decided to run only 15 laps is beyond me. The only excitement I had out of the day (or weekend for that matter) is seeing a local hometown drag racer win a race at Englishtown today.

I enjoyed the first half of the race until the track issue came up. At least they were able to get some of the race in for the fans and for Detroit.
Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
As long as it took, I'm happy as Dixon is one of my favourite drivers!
Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
First meh race of the year, IMO. I think there should have been a more obvious passing zone. Oh well, this year has been great. Texas is next anyways.

Re: Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Indycar Series
Something I did not here yet is the excellent job done by new director of competition Beaux Barfield. Barfield did something Brian Barnhart hardly ever did. He listened to the drivers. He had Dario, Will, and TK go make laps in the pace car, he asked how long they thought the race could run, and ran that many laps. Great job.
Also, fantastic run by Oriol Servia, who after two top five finishes, now sits in the top 10 in points, gaining six spots in two weeks.
