With Chevrolet and Honda under contract to supply 2.2-liter twin-turbo V6 engines through 2026, the NTT IndyCar Series has started preliminary discussions with its current manufacturers, and those they hope to attract, on where its future engine formula might be taken in 2027 and beyond.

Pato O’Ward has signed another multi-year extension with Arrow McLaren. The 24-year-old from Mexico joined the team in 2020 and has placed as high as third in the championship with the No. 5 Chevy.

 

The new contract marks the third for O’Ward at the team led by Zak Brown and Gavin Ward.

Vezite se polecemo - narednog vikenda je na programu prva trka ovogodisnje Indikar sezone, tradicionalno na ulicno-aerodromskoj stazi u St. Pitu na Floridi.

Staza u St. Pitu je tipicna ulica, uska, dzombasta, sa betonskim zidovima koji ne prastaju greske. Ono sto je izdvaja od ostalih je pravac start-cilj koji ide pistom lokalnog aerodroma, vodi na izuzetno siroku krivinu br.1 nakon koje se stvara efekat levka zbog cega je ovo mesto cesto popriste atraktivnih preticanja ali i spektakularnih udesa.

- Sta znamo:

Bolidi su u odnosu na proslu sezonu znacajno olaksani u ocekivanju da dobiju hibridne sisteme (stizu negde posle Indi 500) tako da ce verovatno pasti i rekord staze.

- Sta ne znamo:

 

Ko ce biti u bolidima #18 i #51 Dejl Kojn Rejsinga, ocekuju se povratnik u Indikar Dzek Harvi i IMSA veteran Kolin Braun ali jos nista nije zvanicno potvrdjeno. Takodje cekamo potvrdu ko ce menjati povredjenog Malukasa u Meklarenu #6 (verovatno Kalum Ajlot).

Satnica vikenda OVDE (dodati 6 sati za srednjeevropsko).

- Potvrdjeno da ce Malukas pored otvaranja sezone ovog vikenda u St. Pitu preskociti i revijalnu trku na Termalu,  a i za Long Bic je pod upitnikom. Mozda je bolje da Meklaren potpise Ilota za celu sezonu?

St. Pit, FP1, Rozenkvist ispred Patoa i Armstronga:

Felix Rosenqvist is known as a street course specialist, and St. Peterburg has always been among his favorites, which made for a happy debut with Meyer Shank Racing as the Swede placed the No. 60 Honda atop the times for the 27-car field.

Revolucija?

Quote

Roger Penske has faced the first big test of his leadership within the NTT IndyCar Series.

 

Citing their shared frustrations, a powerful faction of IndyCar team owners banded together in February to discuss their issues with the series Penske purchased entering the 2020 season under the Penske Entertainment banner.

Grozan sve po staroom, imao je i udes za koji je kriv i kaznu pre odustajanja.

Rozenkvist propao na kraju nacisto, ostalo sve realno koliko sam gledao (propustio pola trke u sredini zbog Moto GP-a).

- Potvrdjeno da ce Malukas pauzirati i na revijalnoj "trci" na Termalu, kao u St. Pitu menjace ga Ajlot:

- Format dogadjanja na Termalu:

 

https://racer.com/2024/03/14/indycar-sets-thermal-race-format/

 

(dve kvalifikacione trke na 10 krugova odredjuju 12 startera finalne trke na 20 krugova, s pauzom od 10 minuta nakon 10. kruga za eventualnu promenu setapa)

Nagradni fond:

First Place: $500,000

Second Place: $350,000

Third Place: $250,000

Fourth Place: $100,000

Fifth Place: $50,000

Sixth through 27th Place: $23,000 each

 

"Trka" je van sampionata i ne boduje se.

Ovog vikenda na redu je revijalna trka/dogadjaj na Termalu.

Thermal-Club-Twin-Palms-2017.png&f=1&nof

U pitanju je ustvari test tokom kojeg ce se odrzati i serija trka (dve kvalifikacione na po 10 krugova koje ce odrediti 12 startera za finalnu trku na 20 krugova) gde ce se voziti ne za bodove vec za novcane nagrade.

Termal je ekskluzivni klub za ultrabogatase ljubitelje brzih automobila u cijem sklopu je i trkacka staza. Ona nema potrebnu infrastrukturu za odrzavanje "pravih" trka (boksove sa neophodnom opremom, tribine itd) mada se govori o tome da se i to dovede u red ako ovaj dogadjaj ovakav kakav je uspesno zazivi.
 

Na ovoj stazi (konfiguracija "Dve Palme" koju mozete videti gore) Indikar je poceo da testira prosle zime, uz vec uobicajeni Sebring.

(dodati 5 sati - mi smo vec u letnjem racunanju vremena!)

Sunday’s $1 Million Challenge all-star race at The Thermal Club is expected to go one of two ways: Pure boredom or pure mayhem.

 

Constructed in a heat-based format that’s not too dissimilar from IndyCar’s knockout qualifying system, two 10-lap heats will be held Sunday morning, with 13 cars in one and 14 in the others, and from both heats, the top six finishers will advance to the 20-lap grand finale.

 

Those 12 will race for 10 laps, pit for a 10-minute halftime during which their cars will be refueled and have setup changes made, and then they’ll do the last 10 laps to determine the finishing order and who gets the biggest payouts. As relatively simple as that sounds, there are significant questions as to how it will play out at the private road course located in the southern California desert.
