Got here faster than Logan sargeant can throw a car into the barrier

[@djvycious]

That's impossible. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Well they say that be cause the speed at which Logan Sargeant screw up is immeasurable with contemporary mathematics.

[@jeffstaples347]

Y'know, we've had 4 'stinkers' over the last few years, mazespin, goatifi, mick, and now logie-bear. I wonder what would happen if they imported the p20 drivers from the last 20 years into an F1 game who would be crowned best of the worst.

[@djvycious]

@@jeffstaples347 I honestly think the last cohort of stinkers are leaps and bounds better than the pay drivers of 25 to 30 years ago. Logan, Mick, Goatifi, and to a much, much lesser extent Mazepin had at least some racing prowess. I'm sure they would have been comfortably ahead of the likes of Deletraz, Lavaggi, Inoue, Mazzacane. I do blame the testing rules to a degree. F1 debutants now get 1.5 pre-season testing days. Even 17 years ago a debutant would have driven 20,000km before the inaugural race, and thousands more throughout the season.

[@SwingAxleLover]

@@djvycious Definitely. I don't think people realize how difficult being a rookie actually is, nor do they realize how strong racing talent is not. Across the board the depth of talent in every top level racing series is far higher than it's been at any point in the past.

Had the pleasure of visiting Road America in person for this race, it was an absolute blast. Sat up on the hill next to turn 5 & we could see a bit of 14 in the distance. The karting track they have on site was pretty sweet too. Highly recommend going next year to anyone who can, I certainly will be :)

[@duckrutt]

The historic weekend is really good. The name gets worse every couple years but it's always fun watching the big iron rumble along.

[@darrylkraatz1482]

Great place I hear. Definitely want to get there someday.

[@simonkevnorris]

I went there in 1997 as part of a trip from the UK. The week prior to Elkart Lake was spent at the race in Mid Ohio. Sunday at Elkhart Lake was very wet and the race did not start for several hours when there was a slight break in the weather. I flew back to the UK on the Monday and prepared for the drive to Belgium for the F1 GP. I believe I left on Thursday morning catching the ferry from Dover and then continued the trip. I booked into a hotel that afternoon as I was knackered. There great tracks on three weekends. I needed a break!

[@tomcatnoll8163]

I was sitting in the hill there this weekend as well. Huge turnout this year, seemed like the crowd was at least 1.5x what it was last year

[@KilljoywashereXYT]

Sting ray clearly knows who his biggest fan is mate. Also I have to say that getting a penalty in Indy car seems to be a lot harder to get compared to F1. If you so much as give someone a dirty look in F1 you’re getting a penalty but here they can race like they’re in bumper cars, it’s great !!!!!

[@2639theboss]

They need to tone it back a bit. I don't want full Nascar bumper cars, if I did, I'd watch Nascar. But it's still infinitely better than F1's "The person in front of you can push you off track unless you're ahead at the apex but also penalties for literally anything else" system.

[@psychlops924]

[@MattNav]

Great review as always Will! Side note, an honourable mention I feel should go to Jamie Chadwick for winning the Indy NXT support race which was fun to watch alongside the main race weekend

[@KevinQuinn81]

Sting Ray Robb has the greatest driver name of this generation and I will not be taking any questions. Haven't seen one like it since the 80s and 90s with the likes of the Speed family, Hut Stricklin and Dick Trickle.

[@Oliviaault123]

i would argue will power's name is also legendary though

[@Dat-Mudkip]

What about Scott Speed?

[@KevinQuinn81]

​@Oliviaault123 Truth. It's fine for Will though. He'll still be in IndyCar into his 50s and he can have the title back when Sting Ray's long gone.

[@KevinQuinn81]

​@Dat-Mudkip I didn't realize he wad still at it. I still think Sting Ray's is more fun but Scott's is so on point.

Road America is an amazing track and location. The hills are a bit brutal to walk but the track and unlimited viewing and access to virtually anywhere is awesome. Sat along the straight between turns 4 and 5. Full speed overtakes into 5 is something to behold.

[@ryobibattery]

Grosjean in 7th. We're so back bros...

[@Mr2it3881]

Lol has anyone noticed he's kinda calmed down? He's slowed down, sometimes I forget he's racing this year. The old Grosjean was fast at times but like to shunt it into the wall. His first year in Indy was pretty damn good but went to shit after he went to Andretti. Shit he had to slow down, Canapino fans would kill him.

[@smiddlehurst1]

The more I see the start the more I'm stunned Newgarden didn't get penalised. On the broadcast there was a lot of talk about, and this is a direct quote, "unavoidable contact". Yet when you look at *everyone* else in the same postcode they all realise silliness has occurred and back off (which, given recent driving standards, feels like it should have a meme title card all its own at this point). It's just the #2 that rockets into the car in front like his push to pass button is stuck down.

Loved it Will! Road America is one of (some years) two home tracks for me for IndyCars by being a resident of southeastern Wisconsin. This year they are coming back to The Milwaukee Mile for the first time since 2015. The grandstands were embarrassingly crickets that year. David Hobbs, one of the commentators that year and a local businessman said- I don't think the Milwaukee fans know what they have. I couldn't have agreed with his statement more!

is it normal to have so many driver switches in the middle of season like this, I don't follow indy car too closely? Or is it usual for multiple drivers to switch into and out of 1 car during the season?

[@harveyknguyen]

normally no, but a few seats this season are being filled by part-time drivers since they have other driving responsibilities in usually IMSA or WEC (or in the case of the 51 car, also Indy NXT)

[@UNHchabo]

Normally apart from the Indy 500 one-offs, the season is stable, except for Ed Carpenter's team since he likes to run the ovals. The three main factors leading to this season's instability: 1) David Malukas injured himself mountain biking just before the season started, meaning the #6 has needed a few different drivers. But Theo Pourchaire is there for the rest of the season. 2) Dale Coyne likes to find drivers who will pay him for the seat, and he waited too long trying to find someone who would pay for the full season, so now he's basically race-by-race. 3) The Canapino ruckus that Will discussed.

Hey @FP1Will I have a genuine question for you. How do you keep such a rigid and consistent flow with your Comedy Review series? I'm starting to ask some KZbinrs I follow this because it's the biggest challenge I've had with gaining traction on my channel. I suppose the real question is, what tricks do you have when you have less time to write and edit something or when you just "aren't feeling it" as much. I assume it's more difficult early on and having a plugged in fanbase is a nice motivator. Cheers Will, love the videos. 👏
