A lot of crashes but an aggressive and entertaining race. The swift swede prevailed!

Thanks for this thread and video coverage, SneakyQuick. Looking forward to it.

Hey no problem. As I’ve said before Indy car has rapidly risen in my estimation having seen a few races now. Hope you guys enjoy it, there is a tremendous amount of hand eye coordination and stamina required to even finish in the top ten of a single race. That it’s dominated by good old YT makes it a lot less bS prone as well.

Course at some point it might pull a nascar and promote a terrible driver in the name of diversity, but for the time being anyway I’m going to watch and enjoy it!


It’s more or less all I have left to look forward to sports wise

PPG 375 race this weekend at Texas motor speedway in Fort Worth.

It’s a sort of tri-oval with a small straight and one long one. 375 miles and can be quite action packed. At lap speeds of approx 220 mph with a decent amount of passing it should make for a good race.

Felix rosenqvist of Sweden won the pole position.

Worth checking out tomrw I think.

Great race. Josef Newgarden got a big win and Pato O’Ward was disappointed as he also ran a great race. There were some late crashes which impacted the strategy a bit but it was a clean race overall.


Hope y’all enjoy the highlights. They are available on YouTube not long after each race. 2 races down and I believe 17 more to go.

Thanks for these highlights SneakyQuick. I feel the drivers are just full-on insane. In a good way. Even more than NASCAR drivers. These speeds and intricacies of that track pattern look lethal. The side with the shorter straightaway and the slight turn inward looks gnarly. Great highlights brother.

Oh yeah. If you like nascar at all, indycar is far better in my view. The speeds are higher and the passive is super aggressive.

That and MotoGP are quickly becoming my favorite sports
