Koliko je taj drugi red u metrima iza prvog i kako ce se to vremenski kompenzovati? Jer cak i to je kompleksna racunica i ne nuzno ista za svaku stazu.

 

 

[Romantik]

Hvala bogu matematika i fizika ne bi trebali biti problem inzenjerima da se to ukalkulise. Sve to moze da se istestira jednu godinu na nekoj nizoj seriji. Jedna od opcija, ona najsavrsenija, da se svako iz reda iza (dakle ako imamo cetiri bolida paralelna u prvoj liniji to bi onda bili bolidi 1-5-9-13-17-21), pomeri napred kad onaj ispred krene, i zaustavi se na toj startnoj liniji, tako bi svako kretao sa prakticno identicnog mesta (ok, neko na trkackoj liniji, neko malo izvan, ali nista sto bi vozaca kostalo vise od desetinke ili dve na maksimumu, a sad samo na restartu mnogi izgube vise ako je onaj ispred njih sporije reakcije).

Nastavlja se ludacki tempo sa 5 trka u 4 vikenda, na redu je dabl-heder u Ajovi. Najkraca staza na kalendaru sampionata, oval duzine kruga 7/8 milje iliti 1400 m tradicionalno pruza zanimljive trke zbog konstantne voznje u guzvi - naime vec samo nakon 4-5 krugova vodeci pocinju da sustizu one na zacelju i da ih prestizu za citav krug. Odlazak u boks garantuje gubitak nekoliko krugova ali undercut je izuzetno mocan i vozaci na novim gumama prestizu bukvalno kao u igrici. Tako da je akcija tokom cele trke zagarantovana.

Staza je nova, sagradjena 2005, Indikar ovde vozi od 2007. tako da trke na ovoj stazi nemaju neku dugu tradiciju mada su se ovde u okolini na drugim privremenim stazama Indikar trke vozile jos pocetkom proslog veka. 

Ovo je originalno bilo Andretijevo igraliste, njihovi vozaci su dominirali tokom prve dekade trkanja na Ajovi a od tada su primat preuzeli Penskijevci. Ganasi ovde nije preterano uspesan (iako je Palu prosle godine imao pudijum u jednoj od dve trke) pa ce ovo mozda biti prilika da i Penskijevci konacno naprave neki znacajniji rezultat ove sezone i upisu prvu ovogodisnju pobedu za sebe i za Sevrolet. Pobede od prosle godine brane Mekloklin i Pauer. Medju vozacima rekorder po broju pobeda je Njugarden sa 6.

Vozice se jedne kvalifikacije u subotu na dva brza kruga, vreme prvog kruga racunace se za grid prve trke, vreme drugog za grid druge.

Josef Newgarden will start on pole for Saturday's Synk 275 at Iowa Speedway with the No. 2 Team Penske Chevy after setting a best lap of 183.999mph in the unique two-lap format. With the first lap counting for race one and the second for Sunday’s race two, Newgarden will start fourth for the Farm To Finish 275.

 

Points leader Alex Palou had the inverse results with the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, where he’ll start fourth for race one and captured pole for race two with the only lap above 184mph – a 184.014mph to be precise – which added another point to his tally.

Njugarden dominirao od starta pa do poslednjeg stopa kad ga je odradio Pato i uzeo mu podedu ispod nosa. Konacno Sevrolet uzeo pobedu, Penskiji 2-3-4 za solidan dan za tim u ovoj za njih uzasnoj sezoni.

Pato O’Ward celebrated his 100th race in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES with a victory Saturday at Iowa Speedway.

 

The driver of the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet won in dramatic style, too, besting his rival, Team Penske's Josef Newgarden, who has won a record six series races at this track, in the closing laps of the Synk 275 powered by Sukup.

 

O’Ward had a quicker final pit stop and then held off Newgarden in two late restarts. It was the ninth time the two stars have finished first and second in a series race, with Newgarden holding a 6-3 edge.

 

O’Ward scored his first win of the season and the first for Chevrolet in 2025. His first victory at Iowa, in 2022, came in his 50th start.

 

Newgarden led 232 of the 275 laps but was denied his first win of the season. He finished second with teammates Will Power third and Scott McLaughlin fourth after charging from last on the 27-car grid.

Odgledah ovaj polucasovni pregled, prakticno nije bilo udesa izmedju vozaca, svi incidenti su samostalne greske vozaca, plus onaj jedan kvar.

I bas malo publike na tribinama.

Juce tuda prosao tornado, mozda je to uticalo. Prethodnih godina je bila solidna poseta - mada jeste doslo do promene glavnog sponzora, mozda je prethodni otkupljivao kontingent ulaznica i delio ih svojim partnerima? Pojma nemam. Ali jeste, bas slaba poseta. Videcemo kako ce sutra biti.

Danas sta god da je moglo da podje naopako za Njugardena poslo je. Na kraju Palu uzeo pobedu ispred Diksona i Armstronga za Honda 1-2-3. Dosta incidenata slicnih jucerasnjim, sva tri Andretija zavrsila u zidu zbog pucanja prednje desne gume, izgleda da su se preigrali nesto sa setapom. Uskoro detaljnije!

Alex Palou won a wild Farm To Fresh 275 at Iowa Speedway as the Racing Gods favored the Spaniard, punished Team Penske, and turned the table on Chevy’s 1-2-3-4 from Saturday with a Honda 1-2-3 on Sunday.

 

It was Palou’s seventh victory of the year in the No. 10 Honda, his second on an oval following his breakthrough at the Indianapolis 500, and gave Chip Ganassi Racing a 1-2 finish with teammate Scott Dixon coming home 0.5s behind in the No. 9 Honda. Ganassi technical affiliate Meyer Shank Racing was third as Marcus Armstrong produced his career best on an oval, 2.7s back in the No. 66 Honda.

Sledece nedelje Toronto i izvestaj sa lica mesta:

 

 

Ulicna staza po terenima sajmista u Torontu, na samoj obali jezera Ontario popriste je Indikar trka jos od 1986. godine. Uska, dzombasta, oivicena betonskim zidovima i sa promenjivom podlogom - nekoliko razlicitih vrsta asfalta i betonske ploce na temenima krivina - daleko je od idealnih uslova za atraktivno trkanje sa mnogo preticanja ali bas zbog svega ovoga pred vozace pruza jedinstveni izazov. Dodajmo tu i kratak krug koji garantuje voznju kroz guzvu i tradicionalno nepredvidljive vremenske prilike i jasno je zasto se ovde svaka pa i najmanja greska skupo placa. Moglo bi se reci da je ovo Monako ali bez jahti, glamura i bogatasa. Nelsinjo Pike koji je ovde pre sad vec dosta godina gostovao na Indi Lajt trci rekao je da mu je ovo bila najizazovnija staza na kojoj je ikada vozio.

Zbog skucenosti staze incidenti su prilicno cesti sto trke pretvara u lutriju. Mada, tesko je ove godine kladiti se na bilo kofa osim Aleksa Palua koji nezadrzivo dominira sampionatom pobedivsi na 7 od 12 trka vozenih do sada. Ukljucujuci Toronto imamo jos 5 trka do kraja i nije nemoguce da ce Palu komotno moci da presedi bar tri kod kuce i opet bude sampion. Trenutna prednost ispred drugoplasiranog O'Vorda iznosi 129 bodova (2 prva mesta i jedno peto  = 130). mada, Palu ovde jos do sada nikad nije pobedio...

Sto se tice rekordera ovde, Majkl Andreti sa 7 pobeda u konkurenciji vozaca (medju aktivnima Dikson 4) i Ganasi sa 8 u konkurenciji timova. Najbrzi krug drzi Kristijano da Mata sa 0:58.806 s, postavljen 2002.

- Andreti pokrenuo istragu o problemima sa pucanjem prednje desne gume tokom vikenda na Ajovi:

https://racer.com/2025/07/13/andretti-team-investigating-iowa-tire-failures

 

Quote

It was the right-front tire that failed on Kyle Kirkwood’s Andretti Global Honda on Saturday at Iowa Speedway, and while his No. 27 Honda made it to the finish line unscathed on Sunday, Kirkwood’s teammates weren’t as fortunate as similar right-front tire failures led to crashes for Marcus Ericsson and Colton Herta in Race 2.
...
Andretti COO Rob Edwards and the teams’ engineers are investigating to see if there was a link – possibly in their suspension settings – to trigger the same problem in all three cars, but not altogether in Race 1 or Race 2.

Ide moja omiljena trka u Torontu.
