Quote

It took a spin, a phenomenal pitstop and the possibility of some heated conversations in the team truck later in the evening, but Josef Newgarden led Scott McLaughlin home for a Team Penske 1-2 in Saturday night’s NTT IndyCar Series race at World Wide Technology Raceway.

 

Newgarden capitalized on a perfect late restart coupled with a minor glitch for McLaughlin, whose hybrid refused to deploy, to seal his second victory of the season.

Narednog vikenda vozi se poslednji ne-oval sezone na PIR autodromu kraj Portlanda u Oregonu.

Otvoren 1961. na mestu nekadasnjeg gradica Vanport unistenog u katastrofalnoj bujici 1948 PIR je zbog ovoga poprilicno "ravna" staza bez visinskih razlika koju mnogi opisuju kao dzinovsku stazu za karting. Uprkos tome a zahvaljujuci cinjenici da je krug ovde poprilicno brz za jedan autodrom trke ovde umeju da budu prilicno atraktivne a za haos je zaduzena prva sikana nakon start-cilj pravca. Indikar ovde gostuje od 1984. da bi nakon ujedinjenja CART/IRL staza ispala sa kalendara za narednih 10 godina. Od 2018. je ponovo tu uz jednogodisnju pauzu tokom Covid sezone 2020.

Trka iz 1997. koja je vozena u promenljivim uslovima zapamcena je zbog foto-finisa izmedju Marka Blandela, Zila DeFerana i Raula Bozela gde je razlika izmedju prve trojice bila 5 stotinki (Indikar rekord na ne-ovalnoj stazi):
 


Pobedu or prosle godine brani aktuelni sampion i trenutni lider sampionata Aleks Palu. On je i jedini medju aktuelnim vozacima sa vise od jedne pobede (pobedio je i 2021.) pa se logicno namece za glavnog favorita. Rekorderi po broju pobeda su Al Anser mladji i Majkl andreti sa po 3 a u konkurenciji timova Njumen/Has sa 8. Rekord kruga 0:58.7403s drzi Karlos Munjoz a postavio ga je 2018. Duzina kruga je 3166m.

Juri Vips has one chance to make a final impression on Bobby Rahal, David Letterman and Mike Lanigan.

 

The Estonian arrives in Portland, site of the first half of his two-race NTT IndyCar Series debut for RLL in 2023, in a fourth entry for the team as it looks to lock in its replacement for the outgoing Christian Lundgaard.

Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin was the fastest driver on Friday at the BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland. The New Zealander’s No. 3 Chevy paced the field of 28 cars with a best lap of 58.3669s under heavily overcast skies and the threat of rain, which waited until the checkered flag to appear.

Quote

Santino Ferrucci is on pole position for A.J. Foyt Racing. That’s not a misprint.

 

A decade removed from the team’s last pole taken in 2014 by Takuma Sato, the 26-year-old from Connecticut was a rocket in the No. 14 Chevy as he threw down a lap that was faster than the entire field to go P1, and with time for one more lap, Ferrucci put down another lap that even faster, settling the matter with a 58.2046s tour of Portland International Raceway.

Quote

Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin saw his day go from bad to worse on Saturday as an uncharacteristically poor qualifying run to 14th for the BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland was compounded by the need to replace the engine in his No. 3 Chevy.

 

The unapproved engine change will give the New Zealander a fresh 2.2-liter twin-turbo V6 powerplant to use for the remainder of the season, but that switch will also come with a six-position penalty, by regulation, and move the No. 3 back to 20th in the grid. Holding a distant fifth in the Drivers’ championship with four races left to go, the Kiwi will need to go on a passing spree on Sunday to minimize the damage in the standings.

 

Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyffin Simpson also received a six-spot penalty with his No. 4 Honda; having qualified 25th in the 28-car field, the Cayman Island native will be moved to the back of the field.

The 14th race of the NTT IndyCar Series Season is over and an angry Will Power turned his frustration from last weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway into a flag-to-flag display of dominance at the BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland.

 

Grozan danas jos jedan od onih dana, gomila incidenata i neshvatljivih gresaka...

Nakon duge pauze Indikar sampionat se vraca na najstariju trkacku stazu na svetu - Milju Milvokija, i to sa dabl-hederom od dve trke na 250 milja duzine.

Sagradjena originalno kao hipodrom jos u XIX veku prve auto-trke su ovde organizovane 1903. Pokojni Bruklends je otvoren 1907. kao prva staza sagradjena specijalno za auto-trke, Indijanapolis sagradjen 1909. ostaje kao najstarija aktivna staza sagradjena za auto-trke ali Milvoki ima duzu tradiciju od obe. I osim pauze tokom WW2, ovde je svake godine od 1903. do danas vozena barem jedna auto-trka. Indikar sampionat, tojest njegova preteca pod sankcijom AAA ovde vozi od 1939. godine mada su trke za "Indikar" bolide ovde organizovane jos od 1911.

Originalna staza je dobila asfaltnu podlogu 1954. godine, sa nagibom od 9 stepeni u krivinama.

Rekorder po broju pobeda je Rodzer Word sa 7 (poslednja 1963.) a rekord kruga drzi Skot Pruet sa 21.519s, postavljen 1998. 

Poslednji put Indikar je tu vozio 2015. kad je pobednik bio Sebastijan Borde.

Nakon ovoga zbog dotrajale infrastrukture na i oko staze Indikar je prestao da se takmici u Milvokiju. No nedavno staza je temeljito renovirana i vratila se na svoje zasluzeno mesto na kalendaru sampionata.

Do kraja sezone ostale su jos tri trke, dve ovog vikenda i finale 15. septembra u Nesvilu (ali ne na ulicnoj stazi vec na ovalu). Na tabeli sampionata vodi Ganasijevac Aleks Palu, ali Penskijevci ove sezone deluju nepobedivo na kratkim ovalima...

“We can forget about the championship,” O’Ward told RACER. “Miserable, all three cars. The fact of the matter is, right now, we suck. Not because of effort. But because with this new tire, we didn’t seem to get it to engage, and then in the race, it was the opposite of qualifying. We couldn’t get the [primaries] to work, but we could get the [alternates] to work. So it’s just very confusing. It’s really frustrating. I’m glad we’re getting our asses kicked.”

Quote

NTT IndyCar Series championship leader Alex Palou will be crowned if he can push his lead to 55 points by the end of Sunday. If his closest title rival Will Power can overtake Palou by the end of the Milwaukee Hy-Vee 250 doubleheader, a fun fight will move to the season finale at Nashville Speedway where he’ll give everything he has to become IndyCar’s newest title winner.

 

And while third-place Colton Herta and fourth-place Scott McLaughlin have a remote chance of vaulting past them to earn the championship, the odds favor the top two aces in the drivers’ standings to achieve a rare feat: Across 100-plus years of IndyCar racing, only 12 drivers have won three or more championships, and with Palou and Power, the run from Milwaukee through Nashville is primed to add a new member to the club.

Quote

The NTT IndyCar Series’ first official practice session at the Milwaukee Mile since 2015 took place under warm and humid conditions as dark clouds and blue skies alternated throughout the 90-minute outing led by Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden.

 

Fastest at the July hybrid test on the historic Wisconsin oval, Penske was well placed again with Newgarden up front with a best lap of 158.762mph in the No. 2 Chevy and had teammates Scott McLaughlin not far behind in fifth (157.581mph) and Will Power in 11th (156.539mph).

Pato uz'o prvu trku ispred Pauera, Dejlija, Ferucija i Palua.

 

https://racer.com/2024/08/31/oward-overpowers-penske-brigade-in-first-milwaukee-win/

 

Quote

Pato O’Ward drowned out the noise caused by Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles and drove to the front with the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevy Saturday night in Wisconsin to win his third race of the season in commanding style.

 

Last Sunday, O’Ward started 22nd and finished 15th as his team was lost at Portland, and six days later O’Ward was hunting for victory, leading 133 of the 250 laps as his squad made an epic turnaround.

Odgledah ovaj pregled i dva glavna utiska su kako su slabo tribine popunjene i kako ovi iz direkcije jedva cekaju da pokazu zutu, raduju se tome vise nego sopstvenoj svadbi! Onaj incident Lege je isti kao Njugardenov od pre koju nedelju i opet nista nisu naucili vec samo ponistavaju sve sto su ljudi stekli, besmisleno,

Na ovalu je svako okretanje automatski zuta bez obzira bilo kontakta ili ne. Razlike u brzini su ogromne i trka se mora neutralisati ako na stazi postoji bolid u problemu u suprotnom dobijas avionsku nesrecu a ne "obican" trkacki udes. Dovoljno je i da nekom motor zastuca zbog nedostatka goriva kao sto smo videli u Ajovi ove godine, a ne da se izvrti na stazi.

Bizarna trka danas u kojoj su glavni kandidati za titulu cinili sve da je ne osvoje. Palu statrovao sa 28 krugova zaostatka zbog tehnickih problema a Pauer se izvreteo na restartu i zavrso kao poslednji u vodecem krugu. Gomila incidenata i voznje pod zutim. Na kraju dobio Mekloklin ispred Diksona.

Six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon added another accolade to a career filled with remarkable achievements.

 

While making his 400th and 401st IndyCar starts at the Milwaukee Mile, the New Zealander’s run to second on Sunday in the No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda delivered his 142nd podium, which moved him to first on the all-time list ahead of the legend of legends, Mario Andretti.

Linus Lundqvist has won the NTT IndyCar Series’ Rookie of the Year award.

 

The 25-year-old Swede, who captured the Indy Lights championship in 2022, showed his prodigious talent in a handful of outings with Meyer Shank Racing in 2023, was hired by Chip Ganassi Racing for 2024, and has produced one of the more impressive rookie campaigns in recent years.

 

 

https://racer.com/2024/09/04/chip-ganassi-racing-confirms-indycar-downsizing-plans-indy-nxt-return/

 

Quote

The Chip Ganassi Racing team will be downsizing its presence in the NTT IndyCar Series in 2025 and returning to the Indy NXT series.

 

The move on the IndyCar side has been expected, and comes in reaction to the series’ new charter program. The structure of the charter limits the distribution of memberships to a maximum of three entries per teams who qualify for the program. With five current full-time entries, Ganassi’s newest entries — the No. 11 Honda added in 2023 and the No. 4 Honda, which debuted this season — will not be included once charters are issued.

 

The No. 8 Honda driven by Linus Lundqvist, No. 9 Honda driven by Scott Dixon, and the No. 10 Honda driven by Alex Palou are the only cars eligible to receive charters, and as a result, Ganassi will shutter the two non-charter entries.

Quote

Mike Shank expects to have Felix Rosenqvist’s 2025 teammate confirmed by the start of October.

 

Meyer Shank Racing’s No. 66 Honda is the most coveted seat to fill for the next NTT IndyCar Series season, due in part to the pace shown in the car by the A.J. Foyt Racing-bound David Malukas, and also because of the new technical alliance MSR has formed with the defending series champions at Chip Ganassi Racing. Despite continual suggestions that Marcus Armstrong has been signed to replace Malukas, the team’s founder and co-owner along with Jim Meyer says that’s not the case.

Finale sezone je vec pred nama, narednog vikenda na Nesvil Superspidveju:

24_nss_bmmc_logo-w-date_600x400.png

Nashville-Superspeedway-2001.82030eea4c9

 

Uprkos imenu oval u Lebanonu u Tenesiju nalazi se na 50-tak kilometara od Nesvila, a nije zapravo ni superspidvej nego kratki oval duzine 1 1/3 milje iliti 2140 m u obliku slova D i sa nagibom od 14 stepeni u krivinama, dakle prilicno tipican naskarovski "cookie cutter". Sagradjen 2001. godine od samog pocetka bio je na kalendaru Indikar sampionata pod sankcijom IRL ali nije preziveo ujedinjenje IRL / CCWS i ispao je sa kalendara. Poslovanje staze je bilo zakomplikovano nejasnim vlasnickim odlosima tako da je zbog pada u dugove i neodrzavanja ona zatvorena 2011. godine. Nakon nekoliko preprodaja i planova da se staza porusi 2020. kupuje je konzorcijum blizak Naskaru i vracaju je u zivot nakon neophodnih popravki i prilagodjavanja najnovijim bezbednosnim standardima.

Staza je naravno potpuna nepoznanica za danasnje Indikar bolide i tesko je prognozirati ko ce se tu najbolje snaci, mada rekorder po broju pobeda sa 3 - i to u poslednje 3 trke ovde odrzane - je Skot Dikson. Pored Diksona od aktivnih vozaca ovde su vozili jos samo Vil Pauer i Grem Rehol.

U sampionatu vodi Diksonov timski Aleks Palu a prati ga sa 33 boda zaostatka upravo Pauer koji je imao jedinstvenu priliku da u finalnu trku udje poravnat sa Paluom ili cak mozda i u blagom vodjstvu ali je okretanjem tokom jednog restarta u finisu trke to upropastio. Po sistemu bodovanja u Indikar sampionatu pobednik uzima 50 bodova ali svako ko startuje trku dobije makar 5 bodova plus su tu jos i bonusi - bod za pol, bod za vodjstvo u trci i dva boda za najvise krugova u vodjstvu na trci dakle ukupno je moguce osvojiti 54 boda (za razliku od +49 pod uslovom da protivnik ne bude sprecen da uopste startuje). Sto znaci da Palu mora biti 9. ili bolji da bi onemogucio Pauera da uzme titulu cak i ako ovaj osvoji maksimalan moguci broj poena. Ako Palu ne startuje trku Pauer mora biti barem treci, a ako Palu startuje i odmah ispadne Paueru u zavisnosti od rezultata i bonusa moze igrari i drugo mesto ali realno samo mu pobeda ovde odgovara.

Rekord kruga 0:22.9685 s drzi Sem Hornis ml. postavljen 2003.

Kao sto sam vec pomenuo rekorder po broju pobeda medju vozacima (i jedini visestruku pobednik ovde) je Skot Dikson sa 3, sve za tim Ganasi naravno koji je tako najtrofejniji medju konstruktorima (u ovoj konkurenciji jod Andreti ima dve pobede).
