Radoye Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Uh, nakon citavog cirkusa sa sudjenjemoko ugovora sada Palu ne zeli da vozi za Meklaren i trazi da ga oslobode ugovora za 2024: https://apnews.com/article/indycar-f1-alex-palou-ganassi-mclaren-cefc04fe73850548118bd864a91d8400 Quote McLaren boss tells team IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou has reneged on 2024 contract The long contractual saga surrounding IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou took another wild twist Friday when the head of McLaren Racing told his team the Spaniard has “no intention of honoring his contract” with the team next year. In a letter sent to the Arrow McLaren Racing employees by boss Zak Brown, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, Brown wrote that Palou had given him multiple assurances he’d be wearing papaya in 2024 and has already received an advance on his salary. “This is incredibly disappointing considering the commitment he has made to us both directly and publicly and our significant investment in him based on that commitment,” Brown wrote. ... (vise detalja u linkovanom clanku) Decko je fenomenalan vozac ali izgleda da je zestok debil ako dvaput zaredom pravi ovakav cirkus. To ga sigurno nece preporuciti F1 timovima. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Ovo jos ludje, raskinuo je i sa dosadasnjim menadzmentom: https://monacoincrease.com/statement-from-monaco-increase-management-2/ Quote Monaco Increase Management is bitterly disappointed to learn about Alex Palou’s decision to break an existing agreement with McLaren for 2024 and beyond. Together, we had built a relationship that we thought went beyond any contractual obligation and culminated in winning the 2021 Indycar crown and tracing a path to F1 opportunities. Life goes on and we wish Alex all the best for his future achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 https://racer.com/2023/08/12/newgarden-gets-indy-gp-grid-penalty/ Quote It’s been a challenging Gallagher Grand Prix weekend for Josef Newgarden thus far, and got even tougher Saturday morning with the announcement by IndyCar that the Team Penske driver’s No. 2 Chevrolet has been assessed a six-place grid penalty for an unapproved engine change following qualifying. Newgarden, who had qualified a disappointing 19th on Friday, will now start 25th in the 27-car field for today’s race after his and the three previously announced grid penalties for similarly unapproved engine changes are applied.

Radoye Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Cip Ganasi sipa so u rane Zeku Braunu i Meklarenu: https://racer.com/2023/08/12/ganassi-speaks-out-on-palou-contract-issue/ Quote “Anyone that knows me knows that I don’t make a habit of commenting about contract situations. Subsequently, I have been quiet since day one of this story but now I feel I must respond. I grew up respecting the McLaren team and their success. The new management does not get my same respect,” Ganassi said. “Alex Palou has been a part of our team and under contract since the 2021 season. It is the interference of that contract from McLaren that began this process and ironically, they are now playing the victim. Simply stated, the position of McLaren IndyCar regarding our driver is inaccurate and wrong; he remains under contract with CGR.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radoye Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Sjajna trka, Dikson nakon sto je bio medju poslednjima na kraju prvog kruga (frku izazvao Armstrong okrenuvsi se ispred Palua, koji je onda cuknuo Diksona spreda, straga mu je uleteo Grozan, i onda na sve to naleteo Njugarden) vozio alternativnu taktiku i uspeo nakon ranog prvog stopa da se vrati u igru i na kraju pobedi ispred Rehola. Rehol je imao sansu u poslednja 3-4 kruga, na momente razlika je bila samo 0,2s ali Dikson se branio bez greske... Uskoro rezultati... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larson’s team boss, Rick Hendrick has an ownership stake in both of Larson’s Memorial Day efforts next year, and plans to be at both events with his driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Konor Dejli po treci put: https://racer.com/2023/08/15/harvey-splits-with-rll-daly-to-race-at-wwtr/ Quote The long-rumored split between Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and its beleaguered driver Jack Harvey has been confirmed. Harvey, who joined RLL in its expanded third entry in 2022, will not contest the final three races of the season as RLL both evaluates new talent and does its best to earn one of the lucrative Leaders Circle contracts with the No. 30 Honda formerly driven by the Briton. Conor Daly will pilot the car at the 1.25-mile World Wide Technology Raceway oval, and while only Daly has been named, RACER understands Toby Sowery and Juri Vips are strong contenders to make appearances at Portland and Monterey.

Radoye Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Palu overava titulu vec na sledecoj trci? https://racer.com/2023/08/15/just-eight-points-separate-palou-from-his-second-indycar-title/ Quote Alex Palou is eight points away from clinching his second NTT IndyCar Series championship. The odds aren’t necessarily in his favor to do so at the August 27 oval race at World Wide Technology Raceway, but for the first time in a long time, IndyCar has a genuine need to prepare the Astor Cup and the $1 million check to crown a champion with two races left to run after WWTR. Prakticno, ako na Gejtveju napravi prednost od +8 bodova u odnosu na drugoplasiranog Diksona (tojest, poveca svoju prednost sa 101 na 109 bodova bez obzira ko je drugoplasirani) postace automatski sampion pa cak i da se ne pojavi na naredne dve trke. Pobeda donosi 50 bodova, uz bonuse se to moze podici na teoretski maksimum od 54 sto znaci da na poslednje dve trke moze maksimalno da se osvoji 108 bodova, pa ako Palu nakon Gejtveja ima prednost vecu od ovoga bice i teoretski nedostizan. U praksi su stvari malo komplikovanije jer Indikar dodeljuje bodove svakom starteru (5 bodova) sto bi znacilo da bi i ako poveca svoju prednost za samo 3 boda na Gejtveju Palu postao sampion cim se da zelena zastava za start na narednoj trci u Portlandu (pod uslovom da se kvalifikuje za trku - a zasto ne bi?). E sad, kratki ovali poput Gejtveja su do sada bili Paluova slaba tacka, tako da ce Dikson i Njugarden svoju sansu traziti upravo u tome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 - Linus Lundkvist potvrdjen u Ganasijevom #8 bolidu za sezonu 2024, umesto zemljaka Markusa Eriksona. Erikson ce po svoj prilici u Andreti - ostaje da se vidi da li umesto Grozana (koji mozda ide mozda ostaje) u #28 ili umesto DeFranceska (koji sigurno odlazi) u #29.

Radoye Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 ...i napravili smo pun krug, nakon sudske peripetije prosle godine kad je Ganasi tuzio Palua jer ovaj hoce u Meklaren, sada ga tuzi Meklaren jer hoce da ostane kod Ganasija: https://racer.com/2023/08/18/mclaren-initiates-legal-action-against-palou/ Quote The first step in the legal process has been taken by McLaren Racing against Alex Palou, who is being sued by the British team in the United Kingdom. Details of the complaint aren’t currently known, but at a minimum, they are likely to revolve around the recouping of advance monies paid to the Spaniard for services he was expected to render in 2024 as a racing driver for McLaren Racing’s Arrow McLaren NTT IndyCar Series team. Ovo je toliko bizarno da ne moze da se izmisli, kad bi neko napisao roman sa ovakvim zapletom svi bi se smejali jer je neverovatno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 - Linus Lundkvist ce i na trecoj trci zaredom menjati Simona Pazenoa u MSR #60 bolidu:https://racer.com/2023/08/21/lundqvist-to-make-indycar-oval-debut-with-meyer-shank-at-wwtr/ Quote Linus Lundqvist will make his NTT IndyCar Series oval debut this weekend at World Wide Technologies Raceway in his third consecutive race as Simon Pagenaud’s stand-in with the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda. Lundqvist, the 2022 Indy Lights champion, completed his rookie oval test earlier in the year at the big 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway facility with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, and placed second at WWTR last year in Indy Lights. At the recent Indianapolis road course race that was part of NASCAR’s Brickyard event, Lundqvist earned the No. 60’s best finish of the season with a clean run to 12th. Ovo vec pocinje ozbiljno da brine za Pazenoa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoye Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Ulazimo u sam finis Indikar sezone 2023, sa tri trke u tri vikenda. Prva je na programu vec sad u nedelju a vozice se na Gejtvej ovalu. Lociran u Medisonu, Ilinoj, staza je zapravo odmah preko reke od St. Luisa, Misuri. Kratki oval duzine kruga 2km (1 1/4 milje) oblika spajalice sa asimetricnim krivinama zahteva kompromisni setap bolida - ono sto radi u krivinama 1 i 2 (nagib 11 stepeni, manji radijus) ne funkcionise u krivinama 3 i 4 (nagib 9 stepeni i veci radijus) i obrnuto. Trkanje na ovom mestu se odvija jos od 1968, originalno kao trke dragstera (staza je jos uvek u funkciji) da bi 1985. bio napravljen i autodrom od 4184 m duzine. No to nije zazivelo i nakon godina finansijskih gubitaka autodrom je zatvoren i porusen 1995. da bi umesto njega pocela izgradnja sadasnjeg ovala. Otvoren 1997, vec od prve godine je bio domacin Indikar bolidima prvo pod sankcijom CART (do 2000.) a zatim IRL (2001. - 2003.). Vraca se na kalendar ujedinjenog Indikar sampionata 2017. i od onda je na njemu. U sezoni 2020. tokom CoVid pandemije trka je vozena kao dabl-heder. Tokom ovih godina duzina trke je varirala ali se u zadnje vreme ustalila na 260 krugova / 325 milja / 522 km. Rekord kruga drzi Vil Pauer postavljen 2017. u Penski-Dalara-Sevrolet bolidu - 23.7206 s. Rekorderi po broju pobeda u konkurenciji timova su Penski sa 8 a u konkurenciji vozaca Njugarden sa 4 a upravo on brani i pobedu od prosle godine. Kao sto sam ranije vec pisao, umesto povredjenog Pazenoa u MSR #60 bolidu ponovo ce biti aktuelni Indi Lajt sampion Linus Lundkvist, a u RLL #30 umesto Harvija koji je dobio otkaz vozice Konor Dejli kome ce ovo biti treci tim za koji ce voziti ove sezone. Sto se tice situacvije na tabeli sampionata, Palu je skoro pa krunisan sampion jer osvoji li 8 bodova vise od najblizih pratilaca vise nece biti moguce skinuti ga s trona. Doduse, kratki ovali nisu mu bas jaca strana pa tu Njugarden i Dikson traze svoju sansu...

Foyt Racing have forged a new technical alliance that should benefit both NTT IndyCar Series teams in the short- and long-term. Fojt postaje Penskijev B-tim, dobijaju od njih tehnicku pomoc u vidu komponenti ogibljenja i setap informacija a zauzvrat ce da "razigravaju" mlade Penskijeve inzenjere i vozace.

The two-time NTT IndyCar Series champion could become the first driver in IndyCar’s 100-plus years of existence to win every oval race on the season-long calendar, which is made possible after claiming victories at Texas, the Indianapolis 500, and the doubleheader at Iowa.
