Gary I don't think you understand how crucial it is that you find out how many starters there were for Paul and Bobby

The full spectrum!

 

This race has calmed down a bit from earlier, although the battle between Villeneuve and Gordon is still providing great telly.

Tracy beginning to close in on Unser, who is reporting an oversteer issue.

Wtf, Fittiapldi spins and crashes into the pit wall!

 

And Tracy all but bangs wheels with Unser exiting the pits for their stop under yella. PT leads!

Teo Fabi really doesn’t get enough recognition for breaking race barriers in motorsport. He did for hobbits what Willy T Ribbs did for African-Americans.

Funny post, but Teo Fabi was still a fairly respectable 165 cm (not much shorter than me, lol)
If you really want a "hobbit" F1 and Indy driver Montermini is your man: apparently he is about a metre and a half tall

Like those live fish dead skin therapies you used to see being demonstrated in shopping malls. Or was it just the one I visited?

It is weird not to see a lap count.

I think something's gone weird with this Youtube vid. The other 1995 races on Indycar's official channel are like this too. Call it a visio-cognitive experiment.

 

Anyway, battle for the lead! And Unser gets back through!

Why does Sam Posey love Robby Gordon?

 

I reckon the 1990s was full of pundits who were very romantic about American race drivers who could and would drive everything.

 

Gordon was genuinely very promising coming off 1993 and 1994. Along with Michael Andretti he was the only driver who could really take it to the Penskes in their domination year, and the season before he was very spectacular as a rookie with AJ Foyt (more romance!).

 

Yeah I love Robby Gordon too.

Fuel strategy and tactics time: the yellow fell a bit early and left the leading teams with a long final stint. Newman-Haas, team of Andretti and Tracy, need some yellow to be comfortable. Penske say they're happy.

Were there any upside down smoking wrecks of former trucks on the verge outside?

No commentary but I think that was Tracy using his faster-at-the-end-of-the-stint car handling to (re)take the lead.

And then Tracy nearly crashes and Unser is right back on his gearbox. Smashing stuff.

Tracy does it! He looks like the archetypal driver who steps out of a winning car looking refreshed and entirely unfatigued.

 

Although he is threatening to grow a beard for "attitude" purposes.

Haas did a great job with the car and Tracy drove clean.
