Just back from another fab day at Road America, made it to Canada Corner and then up a very steep hill ( thanks Graham Rahal for that recommendation) between turns 5 and 6 for an exciting Indy Car qualifying and the Pro Mazda race. I'm pretty sure Fernando Alonso would have had much more fun at RA than at Paul Ricard today

[jonpollak]

Picks are in. Hope to have live TV. !

[Afterburner]

Been a busy weekend, but just wanted to pop in and say what a great OP as usual, Risil.

Love me some Road America. Going to have to catch up on this one later, but can’t wait to watch. I have a ton of pictures from a recent visit to Road America I’d love to share, but ever since the board banned non-https image sources, I can’t share them anymore. Booo.

I've put some picks in but I feel like my season can't really be rescued at this point.

[Muppetmad]

As is often the case, my season ended at Indy.

John Menard is that you?

Looking fwd to another great Indycar race!

[DS27]

Those of us who have had a 'challenging' time in Fantasy Indycar shouldn't get too despondent - championship winning dreams may have to wait for another year, but there is still glory to be had in trying to pick up a race win - and unlike McLaren in F1, there's no reason this can't happen.

[Risil]

We have sporadically done prizes of random racetrack merch for the Fantasy round winners. Prommer sent me a t-shirt from Fontana once, after what I think was my first and last Fantasy Racing win (thanks Prommer!).

Sir! Yes, Sir!!

When it comes to my picks, I need to turn up the Wick (See what I did there? Ha!). Dropped Willy P and got some Zach Chemin de fer with added Young Amerian™  instead.

Still contemplating about TK, as I remember he is either doing pretty well at RA or aquaplaning off the track,. Do we expect rain?

[Risil]

Accuweather says no rain, and temperatures in the mid-seventies (Fahrenheit). A good day for racing.

[Vielleicht]

I am ready

[Risil]

Me too. I picked Dixon, Pagenaud, Veach and Wickens just before qualifying and I'm not about to change them now.

Leigh Diffey's nice suit only makes him look shorter

How is that even possible?

[prommer]

Poor Paul Tracy. There's no podium, so he has to wear the whole suit.  

[LeClerc]

They all look like you'd get equal measurement in the X,Y and Z axis.

 

So nice to have PT back, he always throws one out there.

Present and accounted for.

[Vitesse2]

Very good of England and Australia to wrap up the match early. Nailbiting finish, but the right result!   My laptop has already been working overtime streaming the GP on one screen and the cricket to my Chromecast!

[ANF]

I think I'm ready now after a mandatory post-F1 GP nap.

[Lotus72b]

I'm ready and getting some ice cream and some juice.

The sky is lovely on TV.

[Risil]

Awkward watching Leigh Diffey literally crane his neck around Townsend Bell to address Paul Tracy as "one of the best Indycar drivers ever"

The advantages of a one-and-three-quarters-minute lap, huh?

[LeClerc]

The heat!!!

[Risil]

Don't forget the heat count: 1

French cooking avec Le Chen

OH MY GOD THAT KID DANCING IN THE BACKGROUND

[LeClerc]

LOL, nice moves in the background

[Risil]

GET THAT DOG OFF THE KITCHEN COUNTER SIMON

[Jeeves]

This Pagenaud cooking show is ace!

[jonpollak]

Wait ... Where did the dog go..?

[Risil]

I could listen to Simon Pagenaud say herbes de Provence on loop.

[LeClerc]

That was hilarious!

[Risil]

"Everyone knows I have a soft spot for wine!"

 

Indycar's pit reporter going full "that one middle-aged Facebook friend who only uses social media to share Minions memes".

[Vitesse2]

You say tomayto, je dis tomate ...

Heh, cutting from an interview with Scott Dixon to an establishing shot of the Elkhart Lake Historical Society.

Erm, now... But later Sonoma NASCAR?

I may have made a huge picks sin, but it is what it is. Risil's cards spoketh.

Nothing illustrates the decline of a former A-list movie actor better than the phrase "Press menu on your remote, then go to On Demand".

[jonpollak]

Ive gone 'off strategy' with my picks as well.
