2021 RACE FAST FORWARD // BIG MACHINE MUSIC CITY GRAND PRIX 

I dont watch much Indycar because I dont have the channels so i stick to fomula one and nascar but the cool thing about Indycar is that a guy can wreck at like lap 8, be leading by lap 35 and manage to win the race. If you lose your wing or get any damage in Formula 1 then your race is over. And sadly, there arnt enough Esteban Ocon moments in F1

I agree. I wouldn't want every race to be to be this chaotic but I wouldn't mind it to happen once in a blue moon.

Exciting race but would not want every race like it but thought exciting in Nashville!!❤🇺🇸

Exactly right. Its more raw

All he needed was a new nose under caution.

Welcome to indycar fandom. You won't regret it.

Always a competitive racing series. Especially so in the last four or five years. Hope you stay with it.

this is a pretty frustrating race to sit through

@@motorsportfan679 i think he did get a penalty for that I saw the penalties in a document but I cannot remember where I found it. It’s a bit of a pain they don’t have a box or something that pops up to say if someone has received a oenalty

@@hannahbarley61 yeah they really need to go F1 style in displaying when a driver gets a penalty

@@hannahbarley61 no your right he got a penalty for the incident with Scott McLaughlin, which I agreed with. The first incident he had with his other teammate Simon Pagenaud was just a racing incident, at least in my opinion.

WP is either Bobby Unser or Marty Roth and no in between.

If Indycar adopt the 12 penalty points rules, Power could get banned for all of his piece of art during the whole weekend.

no audience, no pitlane though

Even just adjusting the restart zone would help. On all the restarts where Ericsson was leading everything went very clean, since he accelerated long before the final turn, and so the field was better spread out. But when Herta or Grosjean were leading they waited until after the final turn before they went on the throttle. That bunched the whole field up just before that tight corner, leading to all sorts of chaos. Just telling the drivers in the driver briefing that they should accelerate halfway between the final 2 corners would have prevented several of the accidents in that race.

kinda like what they do at MidOhio

I'll say Colton can be IndyCar's Senna

República*

Yeah that was funny, watching it in hindsight. The same with Dixon running behind Ericsson and telling his engineer "Ericsson needs to go" out of his way.

"It's just a flesh wound!"

Kevin Lee described it at the end as a "launch and win", comparing it to Sullivan's spin-and-win. I can't think of any English word that would describe the situation while rhyming.

They didn't show it in this video, but when Power ran into McLaughlin later in the race (and it was clearly Power's fault), Paul made fun of Townsend by saying "I dunno, that looks like a racing incident to me". :)

pit stops under yellow flag

Ericsson's early pit stop for a new nose under the caution he caused allowed him to play the fuel conservation game and pass everyone while they pitted under the many cautions. It's how Rossi stole the Indy 500.

That's how Ericsson came back.

The rest was all yellow and red. There wasn't a whole lot of green flag so-called racing.

@@billmartin1010 thank you for the information, anyway l like to watch complete races

He did get a penalty, think it was a drive through.

Paul Tracy was commentating this race, along with Kevin Lee and Townsend Bell. Leigh Diffey is the normal lead commentator, but he was in Tokyo providing commentary on the Olympics, so Kevin Lee filled in for him, as he seems to do about once per season. I really like Leigh Diffey, but Kevin Lee is good too. Kevin filled in on one of my favorite races, 2019 Mid Ohio.

Same with Monaco though

Poor pit strategy

pit crew screwed him up

He didn't have enough fuel to make it to the end, he was on an alternate strategy.

Steering stabilization? You mean power steering?

And when I say penalize I don't mean carryover penalties for the next race - this sucks immensely. Dock some championship points (2-5, depending on severity of problems caused).

No, it's fine.

Go back to speedway , we dont need too many road courses

For all racing series, I would put it up with the F1 Indy GP where all but six cars stopped due to potential tire issues.

In your opinion. Most of the comments are positive.
