JPM Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Damon Hill je debitovao u 32. NIje kasno, ali naravno da neće da vozi za fenjeraše, čovek se već dokazao. Gde ćeš bolje dokazivanje nego li u Indycar šampionatu gde ne možeš da se vadiš na bolji bolid. Ja njega razumem, neće čovek da se valja po blatu, ali biće greh da ne dobije šansu uopšte. U Meklarenu realno nema mesta. Bukvalno su obojica Meklarenovih vozača zacementirana. Ali ako je neko pametan od drugih top timova da ga uzme.

Da su u RBR pametni pa da ga zovu u RB2 sad kad Loson ispadne iz RB1 i unaprede Cunodu, da ne vracaju Losona dole. Onda naredne godine kad Cunoda vise ne bude imao podrsku Honde jerbo RBR prelazi kod Forda promovisu Palua u prvi tim. Mada ne znam koliko bi se njemu islo u to zmijsko gnezdo pa jos na Maksa... 1
Radoye Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 https://racer.com/2025/03/24/takeaways-from-indycar-at-the-thermal-club/ Quote If you missed the IndyCar Series’ visit to The Thermal Club over the weekend, here’s a quick look at the main takeaways from the 65-lap race.
Radoye Posted March 26 Author Posted March 26 https://racer.com/2025/03/26/andretti-fined-docked-for-chassis-assembly-violation-at-thermal/ Quote Colton Herta’s No. 26 Andretti Global Honda failed post-race technical inspection at The Thermal Club for the incorrect assembly of its front suspension, resulting in penalties to the team. ... As a result, the series has fined the team $25,000 and taken 10 points from the No. 26 car in the entrants’ championship, which moved it from eighth to 10th in the standings. Herta was not subject to a fine or loss of drivers’ points due to the series ruling the infraction to be a non-race procedure penalty. Nisu montirali jedan bezbednosni uredjaj (tj. montirali su samo jedan, a od ove sezone traze se dva). Nema uticaja na performanse, zato Herta nije diskvalifikovan.
Radoye Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 i PREMA kaznjena zbog bezbednosnog propusta na Termalu:https://racer.com/2025/03/28/prema-penalized-for-thermal-safety-infraction/ Quote PREMA Racing has been fined $25,000 and lost 10 entrants’ points from its No. 83 Chevy driven by Robert Shwartzman after IndyCar found the car to be in breach of its technical regulations at The Thermal Club. Having caught fire during the Friday practice session and stopped on track, Shwartzman told FOX, “I felt the seat was getting heated up, and I looked in the mirror and there was smoke and fire coming, so I immediately stopped the car and jumped out.” IndyCar’s AMR Safety Team arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire, but a post-incident review found the new IndyCar team contributed to the severity of the fire — one that required an overnight chassis change — by using a non-approved fire suppression system activation ring. IndyCars have two fire-suppression activation methods available – the first via a button in the cockpit, and the second being an external ring that’s mounted at the rear of the roll hoop fairing for drivers, crew, or first responders to pull. The external method is the one that was found to be out of compliance. U drugim vestima, sledeca generacija Indikar bolida koju Dalara sprema za 2027. (ili 2028.) bice dizajnirana pod Tinom Belijem:https://racer.com/2025/03/26/indycar-turns-to-belli-to-enhance-the-look-of-its-next-chassis/ Quote Stemming from an offseason meeting held by Penske Entertainment where the parent company of the series showed team owners a rendering of the future car that left many feeling underwhelmed and disappointed, RACER has learned veteran open-wheel race car designer and engineer Tino Belli has been tasked with updating the appearance of the new Dallara chassis that’s meant to arrive in 2027 or ’28. The change comes after IndyCar relied solely on Dallara to conceive and craft the visuals of its upcoming car. Based on comments from some team owners who described Dallara’s rendering as a warmed-over DW12, Belli’s involvement has had an immediate impact. According to those who’ve seen Belli’s influence on the upcoming design, the most recent version of the next-generation car is said to look nothing like the original rendering, with comments offered that suggest Belli has taken its appearance to a much more appealing place. For the Welshman, who joined IndyCar in 2014 and serves as its head of aerodynamic development, it’s a return to shaping IndyCars in a more pleasing fashion. https://aiaa.org/people/tino-belli/
Radoye Posted April 6 Author Posted April 6 Narednog vikenda vozi se Monako Indikara, VN Long Bica. Trka originalno vozena kao VN SAD Zapad u sastavu svetskog sampionata F1 ove godine slavi 50-godisnjicu postojanja a od 1984. vozi se u sastavu Indikar sampionata prvo pod sankcijom CART da bi od 2008. postala deo sadasnjeg ujedinjenog sampionata. Konfiguracija staze se menjala godinama i sada samo jedan manji deo se poklapa sa originalnom konfiguracijom ali je kroz sve promene ona zadrzala karakter - betonski zidovi i dzombe koje ne prastaju greske, par dugih pravaca i ukosnica u kojima onaj hrabriji na kocnicama prestize. Ova sezona je zapocela sa dominaciojm aktuelnog sampiona Aleksa Palua koji je pametnom taktickom voznjom uzeo pobede i u St. Pitu i na Termalu. Aleks je u sjajnoj vozackoj formi a i tim je sve sto je do njih odradio perfektno i bez greske. Bice interesantno videti da li ce se trend nastaviti i ovde jer Long Bic je jedan od retkih trofeja koji nedostaje u kolekciji mladog trostrukog sampiona. Sto se tice timova ovde dominira "velika trojka", Penski i Ganasi imaju po 7 a Andreti ima 6 pobeda. vozacki kralj Long Bica je Al Anser mladji sa 6 pobeda a medju aktuelnim vozacima Pauer, Dikson i Rosi imaju po 2 pobede. Rekord kruga drzi Kolton Herta sa 1:05.309s. Satnica vikenda ovde: https://www.indycar.com/Schedule/2025/Long-Beach (Nedelja, 22:30 po srednjeevropskom)
Radoye Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 IndyCar i tarife:https://racer.com/2025/04/07/how-might-global-tariffs-affect-indycar-teams/ Quote Penske Entertainment and the small business owners whose teams compete in its IndyCar Series are keeping an eye on new import tariffs created by President Donald J. Trump that went into effect last week. The interest stems from the spec car used by IndyCar, which is made almost entirely outside of the United States. (ukratko - za ovu sezonu smo OK, timovi su uglavnom vec kupili sve sto im treba za do kraja godine, ali za narednu sezonu moze biti jebeno ako ovo ludilo u americkoj politici potraje...
Radoye Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Ketrin Leg odustaje od ovogodiznjeg Indy 500 i vozice NASCAR:https://racer.com/2025/04/11/legge-announces-plans-to-run-more-nascar-events/ Quote Katherine Legge is set to return to NASCAR competition with an entry in the Xfinity Series race at Rockingham Speedway. e.l.f Cosmetics will sponsor Legge’s effort in the No. 32 Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing. Rockingham Speedway (April 19) will be the first of at least seven NASCAR races Legge is set to contest. Imala je obezbedjenog sponzora, motor, tim ali nije bilo slobodne sasije nove specifikacije za nju. Navodno, PREMA je kupila svih 8 sasija koje su trenutno u opticaju da bi sprecila da jos neko pokusa na Indy 500 i time potencijalno izbaci njihove vozace iz trke. Znaci imacemo 34 vozaca koji konkurisu za 33 startera sto garantuje barem jedan PREMA bolid u trci.
Radoye Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 https://racer.com/2025/04/11/power-leads-tire-saving-long-beach-gp-friday-practice/ Quote Tire conservation was the focus for many teams at the start of Friday’s lone IndyCar Series practice session on the streets of Long Beach. With five sets of the more durable primary Firestones—one less than in 2024—and five sets of the short-life alternates, the popular call was to sit and limit running on the prized primaries to ensure there are enough new or low-mileage sets for Sunday’s 90-lap race.
Radoye Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 FP2:https://racer.com/2025/04/12/siegel-leads-for-arrow-mclaren-in-second-long-beach-practice/ Quote It was a celebration of Californian IndyCar talent Saturday morning at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach as Arrow McLaren’s Nolan Siegel and Andretti Global’s Colton Herta were the fastest drivers during the cool and overcast run ahead of qualifying.
Radoye Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 https://racer.com/2025/04/12/kirkwood-tops-andretti-teammate-herta-for-long-beach-pole/ Quote Kyle Kirkwood delivered a monster lap to claim pole position for Sunday’s 90-lap Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. The Andretti Global driver — pole and race winner in 2023 — rocketed around the 1.9-mile street circuit in 1m06.1921s, which was nearly a half-second faster than Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou in the final minute of qualifying.

Isto kao i u F1 sa crvenima. https://racer.com/2025/04/13/long-beachs-modern-master-kirkwood-vaults-to-another-crown-jewel-victory/ Quote The 50th running of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach saw polesitter Kyle Kirkwood lead the field of 27 drivers and 11 teams with ease to score his third career IndyCar Series victory and second at the home track for Honda Racing Corporation U.S. U taktickoj trci bez ijedne zute zastave - ove sezone smo imali samo 3 kruga pod zutim, nakon udesa na startu St. Pita - gde su svi pokusavali nesto drugacije da bi na kraju sve doslo na isto Kirkvud u direktnom duelu dobio Palua odbranivsi poziciju u finisu trke. Jedino je Njugarden izduvao zbog problema sa pojasem koji mu se otvorio pa je morao u boks jedan put viska da ga vezu.

Radoye Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 Imamo i prve incidente ovogodisnjeg Indy 500:https://racer.com/2025/04/24/larson-smacks-turn-1-wall-in-indy-500-testing/ Quote Arrow McLaren/Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson became the first driver to crash at the Wednesday-Thursday Indy 500 Open Test. The NASCAR champion was uninjured after getting high in Turn 1 on a qualifying simulation run in the No. 17 Chevy that saw the car — while running north of 235mph — drift up and out of the groove and strike the wall on corner exit with the right-side suspension. The impact broke Larson’s right-front suspension, which partially folded inward. The No. 17 Dallara DW12 rolled through the short chute and had a glancing blow that in Turn 2 that did similar damage to the right-rear suspension before coming to a stop. Larson climbed from the car on his own and the broken machine was lifted and towed to the garages. Kazu da na Indiju postoje dve vrste vozaca - oni koji su overili zid, i oni koji ce da ga overe. Larson je iz ove druge grupe upravo presao u prvu.https://racer.com/2025/04/24/sato-hammers-turn-1-wall-at-indy-test/ Quote Takuma Sato has been among the fastest drivers at the Indy Open Test, running third on Wednesday and improving to second Thursday morning during the high-boost session where qualifying simulation runs were being performed. However, the former Indy winner hit a setback by becoming the second driver to strike the Turn 1 wall during the two-day test. Just 15 minutes after Arrow McLaren/Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson hit the Turn 1 wall with the right side of his car which caused a modest amount of damage, Sato flew through the corner, spun, and smashed the left side of his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing car, which went on to rotate and make more contact with the wall before stopping in Turn 2. The rear of the No. 75 Honda was battered and leaking, which required the AMR Safety Team to apply a large quantity of oil-dry to the section of the track where the car came to a rest. Unlike Larson, Sato didn’t climb from the car in a quick manner; he waited more than a minute to get out and appeared to need a few moments before slowly walking away and observing the damage that was done to the car. U trimu za kvalifikacije najbrzi je bio Skot Mekloklin. Za sada deluje prilicno ujednaceno izmedju Hondi i Sevroleta:https://racer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/85/2025/04/indycar-results-p4.pdf
Radoye Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 https://racer.com/2025/04/24/palou-leads-rosenqvist-in-final-indy-test-session/ Quote Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda’s three-time and defending IndyCar champion Alex Palou produced the fastest speed in Thursday’s final test session ahead of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500. The current IndyCar points leader set his best time on his third of 83 laps, a 223.993mph tour of the iconic 2.5-mile Speedway, and that was never bested.

Radoye Posted April 29 Author Posted April 29 IndyCar sampionat ovog vikenda gostuje na Barberu, jednoj od najlepsih modernih staza na svetu. Za razliku od vestackih marina iz Majamija ovde imamo prirodu i zelenilo. Barber je dokaz da moderne staze ne moraju da izgledaju kao parking ispred trznog centra preko kojeg je neko bojama iscrtao konture staze, da one mogu biti moderne i bezbedne a da izglednom i karakterom podsecaju na klasike iz nekih davno proslih vremena. Na prve dve trke ove sezone pobede je uzeo aktuelni sampion Aleks Palu, dok je na prethodnoj "podbacio" i bio drugi iza Kajla Kirkvuda. Mladi Spanac deluje nezaustavljivo i namece se kao glavni kandidat za titulu - potencijalno cetvrtu u poslednjih 5 sezona. Ovako nije dominirao ni timski mu kolega Skot Dikson u svoje najbolje vreme, a Dikson vazi za jednog od najdominantnijih u istoriji sporta. Istorijski ova staza ipak vise odgovara konkurenciji, najtrofejniji medju vozacima ovde je Dzozef Njugarden sa 3 pobede a medju timovima Penski (za koje vozi i Njugarden) sa 8 pobeda. Paluov Ganasi je ovde pobedjivao samo jednom - i upravo je Palu bio taj pobednik, 2021. Na poslednje dve trke pobedjivao je Njugardenov kolega Skot Mekloklin a i treci Penskijevac Vil Pauer ima dve pobede ovde. Hoce li se taj trend nastaviti?
