Starting to rain again while the Indy Lights cars are being prepared.

[Prost1997T]

Piquet going backwards fast in the wet.

[Prost1997T]

Jones collides with Anderson. Full course caution.

[KingTiger]

Are they showing Indy Lights on TV in America?

[greenman]

Every restart somebody spins off coming to the green flag. Nelson hasn't really been fast but is already up to 3rd

[Prost1997T]

Yes. Livestream from Indycar is at racecontrol.indycar.com

Looks like Spencer Pigot is still leading comfortably.

[Prost1997T]

Ed Jones is having a terrible weekend. Has he hit the pace car today yet?

[greenman]

And yet Jones is now third. Piquet out. Seems Kaiser hit him before T3, though I couldn't see much of a contact on that replay

Probably a brush of the left rear, maybe a bent suspension part.

[Lotus53B]

No safety car, unlike other series I could mention...

Which is nice...

These cars have good on-board starters.

Spencer Pigot has put on a masterclass this weekend.

Jack Harvey seems glad the race was shortened, said it was very tough conditions in his post-race radio interview.

Heads up, green flag seems to be moved up about half an hour to 3:08 PM (local time)

Sometimes my mind scares the crap out of me. Seriously, I wonder how people like me are even allowed to have an imagination. Perhaps a coincidence of falling asleep with John Hindhaugh's unusual metaphors in my ear as 'that other race' in France ticked down to its rainy conclusion, I was treated to an 'unusual' dream last night: in place of the national anthem preceding this afternoon's Indycar race, our pre-race celebration of Canada in Toronto involved Barack Obama singing and playing lead guitar to this song.

I love you, Indycar.

[whitewaterMkII]

sweet,jetlag pub, London, thanks jp!

You think that's strange? A couple of nights ago I dreamt that DRACONE won the Indy 500, I sh*t you not.

[Ross Stonefeld]

Do we get a butchered US or Canadian anthem? or BOTH?

[Ross Stonefeld]

Aww yeah.

[MattPete]

Oh, sweet Jesus!  Who the hell is that band that just butchered two great countries' national anthems?

[Prost1997T]

Single file start after two pace laps.

Thank you!

oh, an early start, nearly missed it...hopefully it doesn't end up to be a shortened race though

2 hour time limit was announced before the start.

[jonpollak]

Crazy Gaijin up at 4 am for...INDYCAR

[Risil]

Is the race starting early or something?

[KingTiger]

Wet race. Get ready for 2 hr of safety car followed by a spin/crash within a lap of the green flags and another yellow. 

[Spillage]

Looks like an early start. Good job I put the telly on a half-hour early just in case!

[Risil]

Green all the way through, won by Sato after an exemplary, butter-smooth drive through the field.

[ANF]

Starting now.

I think it will depend on how the conditions change. If goes wet-dry and certain drivers put on slicks early, all bets are off.

[search]

good that they start early, now that the rain is moving away and the track starting to dry

[Risil]

Oh look, the weather blob from Le Mans is on vacation.

Friggin' Barnhart.

[jonpollak]

Gamba des !!

[TimRTC]

Uuwwwuuu.... its Sato

[Prost1997T]

Coletti again.

[nookie]

any live streaming out there

[Risil]

Coletti again.

 

Didn't he run some really Barrichello-fast laps in preseason testing?

[Prost1997T]

Power opening up a lead.

[Red17]

Seeing this side by side, comploete with side by side threads

[Disgrace]

If Detroit taught us anything, then the chaos will begin once the track improves. In the worst conditions, however, these guys have it covered.

[Prost1997T]

As I said, it'll go badly if someone tries to play hero with slicks.

[greenman]

As I said, it'll go badly if someone tries to play hero with slicks.

and somebody is bound to if it doesn't start raining again. Power fastest by far, Pagenaud now also with a similar laptime

[Risil]

Take that Montoya!

[ikarus280]

Monti. 

[greenman]

Montoya messes up under pressure from Dixon

[Prost1997T]

Montoya nearly causes a pileup by re-joining in traffic.

[TimRTC]

As I said, it'll go badly if someone tries to play hero with slicks.

I vote we put Sato on slicks.

[Sheepmachine]

Missed the start Hope I didn't miss anything crucial.

[ANF]

Closing the door down the escape road...

[anbeck]

John Paul Montana!
