And...

Quote :

Franchitti, perhaps justifiably, sounded off during the post-race press conference about the penalty after it was issued.

“The big thing is all this bullshit at the end, quite honestly,” Franchitti said. “Of all the stuff that went on all day, anybody I raced against would protect the inside, the person trying to pass would go to the outside. I made my intentions clear very early.”

He later added he and the team planned to protest.

“It will be very interesting to know how they make decisions up there sometimes. I think it involves a dice and a blindfold,” he deadpanned.

Meanwhile, the aborted standing start that was supposed to take place today has in fact, been reinstituted for tomorrow. If there aren’t further stalls, that is.

“The fans deserve to see a standing start, so after consultation with the promoter, we have made the decision to implement a standing start for Sunday’s race,” Brian Barnhart, senior vice president of operations, INDYCAR, said in a series release.

Good decision, IMO. Will lunged and ****ed himself.

Trying to decide between the HTC One and Lumia 928 for my next phone (though I'll have to see what the Moto X is all about). I like Android overall, but the incessant lagginess even on high-spec'd phones is driving me nuts.

Btw, who cares about LFS S3?

lol @ Bourdais doing donuts for 2nd place.

Power and Franchitti again...

Good race so far, though.

Well, that was embarrassing.

Any updates?

Man, Emma Dixon is hot as hell.

Lots of analysis here: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/108479

Given that they were all left rear tires and 4 of 5 were at the same point on the track, I'm guessing it was indeed a curb that was at fault. But I guess we'll have to see what happens this week.

Owen Kelly ain't a rookie, just hungry.

Fun race at RA, like always.

Not to mention that there was a tree with a chunk taken out of it.

He hit the wall basically flat on the side at high speed, and the roof line was really badly bent. It looked bad.

Sorry for your loss, Dennis.

It looked that bad.

Man of Steel is a real shitshow.

Have we discussed the fact that the timeskeeper at the 24hr is named "Christian Crucifix"?

100% sure? Blocking would make sense since Eurosport Player only works on Europe, but not sure if these bare links are supposed to be affected too...

Well, not working for me, anyway.

Rough crashes for Krohn and Caterham in practice.

Links aren't working in the US, but I did find a Eurosport stream from some Chinese website.

Ruh roh...
