Extended Race Highlights // 2022 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio | INDYCAR 

i couldn’t agree more it’s a complete joke. it’s racing, you can benefit/lose due to a caution. it shouldn’t be “fair”

Some Indy rules are amazing others are just terrible. It's all for the show for better or worse.

What’s his deal? He was once the best driver in the category and loved due to his dominance by the very team he’s still in. Is it because Colta is now Andretti’s #1? If so, where did Rossi’s form go?

@@Virvum_Juggernaut I think he became too frustrated after couple of years with a lot of bad luck

​@@Virvum_JuggernautAlexander Rossi left to McLaren SPM (McLaren Schmidt Motorsports).

@@purwantiallan5089 I know who AR is currently driving for, my question to the OP was “where did his (winning) form go?”

Agreed

Yeppp

black flag deserved

For sure. Grojean was an idiot at times in f1(in his early career) but Rossi made his driving look god tier.

@@rhyswilliams4893 grosjean also deserved his penalti big time

I think all that bad mojo went to andretti... It got mixed between Grosjean and Rossi lol

Don’t jinx it 😂

He actually pushed Josef off at the Indy GP lol. Nothing major though.

​@@Kyle86910Andretti in 2022 IndyCar got its worst ever season somehow.

this comment is gold. Well said!

A categoria mais competitiva do planeta

spoiler much?

Not jealous Eric !

@@10566010 Why would you read the comments?

The front straight is too short. You'd start the race with cars at the back having to navigate two turns while the leaders are at full speed.

It cost Jonny Reid an Indy Lights win once

F1 cars look stupid,even hot wheels wouldnt carry them as toy cars,thats how stupid they look now!my daughter can draw better lookin vehicles man!bring back the 90's cars i say!where did STICKERS LIGHTNING finish?lol

I'm not sure, but this is the first race in s long time where there's a discussion about which was better.

@@philiphodson2980 Don't hold back, mate... tell us how you really feel !!!

@@BrettJones27 ive got steam blastin out my ears n'everythin pal!🤬

Austria followed up with a good race. This is the first run of races at actual race circuits and so far these new f1 cars have raced very well at real circuits.

NASCAR

Rokit is behind on payments, they haven't officially lost it yet but seems like they may. Sadly, they'll have to park the 11 and Calderon will be out of a ride if that happens, which seems to be why the changed Kirkwood's sponsor but left hers the same. The 4 car already has a different sponsor and they won't let the 14 go without finding other backing, but Calderon may be done after this weekend.

For example: if a team realizes that the shape of the front wing has to change to improve the car, but another team already uses that shape would it be considered copying and therefore prohibited? If yes, what to do? Do they have to keep a bad wing? Because, like i say, it doesn't seem to me that there are many formats options, not only for the wings but other parts too.

In the case of indycar, it is a spec series, meaning that all of the components of the car are the same. The main differentiating factor of a fast car vs a slow car is the setup, and the driver. Setup consists of things like wing angle, spring stiffness, ride height, wheel camber/toe etc. All of these parameters are adjustable on these cars without changing out parts (Except maybe spring stiffness, but this would be something where the car manufacturer would give multiple springs that they can use). That is what makes indycar appealing, the little teams can do just as well as the big ones if they have the right driver with a good knowledge of setups.

It's one part set up and one part driver. Engines have multiple throttle maps that perform differently at different RPMs which might favor a certain driving style or track. For example, you'd want to set the engine up at Mid Ohio for good low end torque because of the constant low speed elevation changes while for Road America you need more top end horsepower because of the long straights. Then you have multiple springs/dampers/suspension setup that make the car behave differently.

the extra 50bhp from the push 2 pass & not really knowin when its in use & @which point certainly contributes 2 differing performance,cause thats what it is!lol.tyres quality/condition would b the nxt biggest contributor &how different drivers r able 2 manage/look after them.then obviously the driver is the other factor.id disagree with the car setup makin that much of a difference.the setup changes/difference between each car r minute its really driver preferences 2 how they set their car up between under/oversteer.i know 4 a fact that scotty mach liked a more pointy/oversteery car when in aussie V8's so probs likes a similar setup indycar.remember V8's have 650ish bhp,rear wheel drive with locked dif,NO TRACTION CONTROL,no ABS & stick shift sequential gear box!

Yep. Dampers are the one thing that the teams may develop, test, and implement on their own.

@@johnnypuperze7790 im not follow Rossi that close but i know him since he raced in europe and know he is a fast driver. Never saw him drive like that. Reminded me more on a open lobby in a online race then a real racing driver.

@@johnnypuperze7790 they came like 3 times together in the same race. When the wheel was knocked out of his hands he could not do anything for sure. But it looked a bit like he wantet to send Grosjean off track and got caught in it.

There's rumors that Rossi and Grosjean don't like each other. I don't think Rossi will be missed at Andretti.

@@johnnypuperze7790 equally responsible? Rossi was so far from the apex that another car could fit in there. Steering being knocked out of his hands were totally his fault. Grosjean gave him plenty of space

You mean like Hamilton did to Verstappen at Silverstone in 2021?

@@simonkevnorris you mean like verstappen in brazil?

So you don't understand racing at all. Got it.

@@jakehoover6655 i think you are the one who don’t understand north american open wheel racing at all… But you are definately brave enough to advertise your ignorance.

Luck? He passed 18 cars on track... He made 12% of the on-track passes of the entire grid... Yellows actually hurt him somewhat since they were planning on running longer than everyone else after making the lap 10 stop.

@@nico9er795 he drove well but for this result he needed the late yellow “push” from race controls. That is a luck.

@@melchizedekful Everyone gets some degree of luck in races. If they had thrown the yellow immediately and some cars got sent to the back, then you would have to say Palou and Dixon were lucky. With the amount of times Will has been caught out by yellows in the past, I don't see any problem with him getting some luck in this race. Everyone on the podium deserved it.

They did end up penalizing him

They have tried it a few times in the past, Toronto and Houston 2013 and infamously Indy GP 2014 comes to mind. It never goes well lol. Not sure if it is the cars or the drivers or a combination of both.

The guy who gets pole gets to basically decide when the start happens so they still have a pretty good advantage. They tried standing starts in Indy before and they were really messy.

its a YANK THING!most of them cant drive stick!standing starts usually require a clutch in some capacity so hence why back in the day thaa'mericans used ROLLING STARTS!(sang in voice over from Segas classic daytona usa!blue blue skies,blue blue skies!)2 much 4 the numpties 2 think about u c,why u always get chaos@the starts!😁🤣

@@philiphodson2980 most can't drive stick? IndyCar didn't switch to paddle shifters until 2008, and NASCAR just this year switched away from 4 speed h-box.

@@philiphodson2980 why are you talking like indy car is the only championship that goes with a rolling start. GT3 WEC super GT all use rolling starts as well.

Mais um eurocentrista arrogante, ignorante e chato. Eu desejaria nunca ler comentários imbecis como o seu. Não entende de Indy, não entende dos carros e julga um grid inteiro por causa de contatos de corrida. Até parece que no início do gp de Silverstone não tivemos um evitável acidente que paralisou a corrida. Não volte mais aqui, obrigado
