Bourdais crossing the line to win, in what was absolutely a fully legal car:

I'm all for classic Robot Wars references in IndyCar threads. And hey, it's a double-header, so we might get Chaos and Chaos 2.

Sharp OP, Disgrace!

 

I cannot think of any moldy cheese puns at the moment, thankfully.

I have to confess, 90% of what I know about Milwaukee comes from the unlikely youtube sensations Red Letter Media, who happen to be based there and like to praise their city at every opportunity.

 

 

The top comment on the video says it all really.

 

 

 

I sometimes wonder if RLM is doing their best to dissuade people from moving to Milwaukee to keep the rent on their studio down

9-place grid penalties for Newgarden, Siegel, Armstrong, Fittipaldi, and Lundgaard. Unapproved engine changes.

It is a shame that no team decided to utilize the iconic Shotz Brewery retro livery this weekend.

Did y’all not get low life line practice?  A bit before the session.  Including pic with Dillion Welch and Kyle Larson from their Silver Crown days.

What kind of pit stop window are we looking at? Seems like it will be easy to go a lap down.

This practice on Sky EPG but no further practices or qualifying listed at all. Both races listed. Is this a Peacock thing?

Looks like.  A half hour similar to when they rubber in the high line at others tracks but do it on the low lime at this one.  Pretty slow, lightly used sessions.  Nothing really missed on track.  Cool tribute to the couple of guys from the Speeday that passed recently.  Some HMFIC from the track or fair or talking about the history and historical significance of the track and race.  He hopes it keeps going.  Me too.

Cool response from Archie screwed the cock. Problem solved by switching a few degrees SE, where we could get a little way on.

No,
Tom Gaymor said Sky were not offered the highline session.

 

We just got this....but an hour and a half

Rasmussen hit the wall after getting into the marbles. Think that's probably session over. Nope 90 seconds left...

Lundgaard is counting down time to get to McLaren.

On IndyCar Radio, he said they took a big swing at things and they missed. He sounded like they were expecting it.

It's just that RLL cannot buy any set-up to work on ovals the last couple of years. At least McLaren has a some kind of competitiveness
