Velika nagrada Detroita originalno je vozena za F1 od 1982. da bi od 1989. presla pod Indikar. Ove trke su vozene na ulicnoj stazi u centru grada, na istoj lokaciji na kojoj se od prosle godine ponovo vozi ali u kompletno drugacijoj konfiguraciji staze - jedino je deo oko krivina 6 i 7 ostao sa originalne staze. Trka je zatim prebacena na ostrvo Bel Ajl, na pola puta izmedju Detroita i Vindzora u Kanadi, na spektakularnu stazu nalik Montrealu u F1. Uz povremene pauze tu je i ostala do 2022. kad su nedostatak infrastrukture za publiku i lose trasportne veze sa gradskim jezgrom uzrokovale da se trka ponovo prebaci u centar grada.

Staza na papiru prilicno neinspirativna, najinteresantniji detalj je dvostruki pitlejn - boksovi su i sa desne i sa leve strane. Ruzan okolis urbane pustinje u koju se Detroit polako pretvara i losa dzombasta podloga delovali su deprimirajuce nakon Bel Ajla, ali ispostavilo se da je trka prosle godine zapravo bila prilicno zanimljiva. Pobedio je Aleks Palu sa pola, nezadrzivo grabeci ka Indikar tituli.

 

Ove godine Palu ce imati tezi posao jer deluje da su Sevroleti, narocito Penskijevi, u veoma dobroj formi i to uprkos problemima sa diskvalifikacijom na premijeri sezone u St. Pitu. Nakon pobede na Indi 500 momentum je na strani Dzozefa Njugardena i bice ga tesko zaustaviti ovog vikenda...

Is IndyCar not taking Honda seriously about 2026? We have heard nothing about any new manufacturers.



AE, Danville, IN

 

MP: Last I heard was Penske Entertainment talking to Stellantis — Dodge, Chrysler, Peugeot, etc. — about coming in with one American brand and one European brand. They’re finally taking Honda seriously, and what’s likely to happen with the next engine formula is close to what Honda suggested, but it’s too soon to tell if the cost cuts and overall increase in value Honda’s been seeking will be enough to keep the brand in the series.

- Tristan Votje ce se vratiti u Indikar za trku u Detroitu u Kojnovom bolidu #51:

Quote

Six years, 11 months, and 23 days. That’s the gap between Tristan Vautier’s last NTT IndyCar Series start for Dale Coyne Racing and his next, which will take place on Sunday at the Detroit Grand Prix in the No. 51 Honda.

 

The talented Frenchman, winner of the 2012 Indy Lights championship, spent his rookie season in 2013 with the team known today as Arrow McLaren, and lacking a budget to continue, turned to sports cars before making a return to IndyCar in the second half of 2015 with Coyne where he produced a career-best finish of fourth at Detroit.

 

With his injured friend and countryman Sebastien Bourdais sidelined after suffering a major crash in qualifying at the 2017 Indianapolis 500, Vautier was among the drivers drafted in by Coyne to keep Bourdais’ car in action while he recovered. After placing 16th at Texas Motor Speedway that June, Vautier will get another opportunity to show his skills nearly seven years to the day of his last IndyCar outing.

- Kastroneves umesto Blomkvista:

Meyer Shank Racing has parked Tom Blomqvist (pictured above), whose rookie campaign in the No. 66 Honda has been an escalating disappointment. MSR’s Helio Castroneves will replace Blomqvist for at least the next two NTT IndyCar Series races starting with Sunday’s race at Detroit and the following weekend’s race at Road America.

The opening practice session at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix ended in a fashion that was mightily familiar to the last as reigning race winner Alex Palou was first among the 27 drivers following Friday’s 75-minute opening practice session with a lap of 1m01.721s in the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.

Quote

A frenetic 45-minute morning practice session for the NTT IndyCar Series on the streets of Detroit went as expected with locked brakes and cars stalled in or spinning their way out of the runoffs as they put in final preparations for this afternoon’s qualifying session for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix. When it was over, Andretti Global’s Colton Herta was fastest, posting a 1m01.573s lap in the No. 26 Honda to lead teammate Kyle Kirkwood in the No. 27 Honda (1m01.738s) and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou in the No. 10 Honda (1m01.898s).

Colton Herta captured Andretti Global’s first pole position of the season and the 12th of his career with a scorching lap of 1m00.547s in the No. 26 Honda at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix. NTT IndyCar Series championship leader Alex Palou locked out the front row for Honda in the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing machine at Chevy’s home event (1m00.700s).

Quote

Santino Ferrucci is apologizing for his fiery comments spoken to NBC after Saturday morning’s practice session at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.

 

The testy words were in response to on-track clashes with Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood and Colton Herta, and a heated pit-lane exchange with Kirkwood, that included a homophobic dig at Herta, who the A.J. Foyt Racing driver referred to as Kirkwood’s “little boyfriend teammate.”

On lap 60 of the chaotic IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix, Arrow McLaren driver Théo Pourchaire and Argentine racer Agustín Canapino made contact on a restart. Now, Pourchaire — only in his third race — has admitted to receiving “so much hate and death threats” as a result.
