Indycar 2024 Road America: The Comedy Review

Well Indycar sure brought the drama to it's 8th round at Road America, with Juncos driver Augustun Canapino causing a whole load of chaos before the weekend even got going. There's a hell of a lot more to get into than just that however, so here are my thoughts!

Yes please

[@simonkr844]

[@jeffstaples347]

24 hours of nurburgring would be 7.5 minutes long

He got to do it

[@akilh340]

Indeed

[@AlexmacKnotty22]

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.

[@mikes8155]

We need Mahaveer Ragunathan in the Red Bull seat..

[@Alexanderlsixre56]

This channel is the only thing saving me from boring evenings, I get to watch indicar drivers get insulted, and Danny Ric being protected, legendary

[@Caddynars]

Came in faster than Sergio Perez getting knocked out of qualifying.

[@BaconEvolution]

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 :)

[@FP1Will]

Very jealous!

[@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

[@psychlops924]

What to do next week....? How about a LE MANS COMEDY REVIEW. Go in blind, don't try to learn anything more than you already do about teams or drivers, and give the people the marathon review we all want and deserve.

[@MatrixAran]

I second this

[@K9RacingAndStuff]

​@@MatrixAranhonestly, a retroactive review of Spa and imola both would be hilarious purely for the amount of Ferrari slander that could be done.

[@DuvJones]

@@K9RacingAndStuff I would pay to see that.

[@lucaspiredda7677]

​@@K9RacingAndStuffImola definitely, Spa was just bad timing with the red flag

[@K9RacingAndStuff]

@@lucaspiredda7677 tbf the pre-race penalty and post race remarks from Ferrari are worthy of slander itself. And if all else, there's always Alpine

[@PrimeperformancePathway]

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.

[@knivectsh]

“Wanting his own accident” 😂

[@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

[@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.

[@keytothewall]

He just needs to get his crashes out before the race ❤️

[@harry4454]

It’s grosjean

[@lostalone9320]

Big chaotic enegery

[@SamuelSantos_]

Road America is a fucking good track

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

And the contract between IndyCar and Road America has been extended!

[@alexpeartree2019]

It's like Spa but with cheese!

[@auscolpyrtosspott9175]

​@@alexpeartree2019on apple pie

[@Caddynars]

And the crazy thing is it’s remained basically unchanged for seventy years, other than just keeping the tarmac repaved. A true example of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

[@gravelunit]

I will never get tired of the "Linus tech tips" reference.

[@thecentralscrutinizer304]

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.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

I’m so glad IndyCar and Road America agreed to a contract extension!

[@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.

[@extragoogleaccount6061]

Now Lake Speed, that is a name! He won the world carting championship, too. Beat some guy named Senna, whoever that was.

[@Zach636465]

Dang, I know this is a meme review with the USF2000 shoutout, but it was a bummer to not see a Jamie Chadwick mention for winning the NXT race.

[@Tomservoca]

Argentinean here. While Agustín didn't help himself this week, social media would be much calmer if his driver friend in our cabin booth didn't spew hate every time someone dared to breathe near Canapa

[@Koyomimatic]

I still can't believe he continues working for ESPN, specially now that there's two incidents of him stirring the pot on social media. Do they really need him there?

[@volatilelion657]

@@Koyomimatic tbh I don't think a pro driver with journalistic credentials and direct contact with a protagonist of a series in a different part of the world would be the easiest one to drop. Last sunday he was receiving comments about the race from Canapino himself

[@RobJaskula]

Penalty aside, Sting Ray IS getting better

[@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.

[@fthurston8]

“ 4:00 Grosjean studying the molecular makeup of the tire barriers”lollolplololol

[@codegame027]

I was at the race on the outside of Turn 8 and this summary really helped. I haven't rewatched the vod yet... for the race I attended.

[@nyphron3109]

This was my first time at a live race, which is of course the race that is a tactical masterclass that I'm missing watching Herta do consolation laps down at turn 12

[@harveyknguyen]

damn you missed him dragging his car from 27th to 6th place

[@mrbloodmuffins]

Since it was just announced that Indycar will be broadcast on the Fox network next year, it is oddly fitting that you use the Fox anthem for your Indycar intro.

[@strayling1]

Bear in mind that Argentina is named for silver, the symbol for second place.

[@T_Mo271]

I should not have pre-purchased those weekend passes to the IndyCar Argentina GP next year.

[@johnjettfothergill4231]

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!

[@vinster8884]

I haven't watched this series since the CART/ IRL split. This channel has renewed my interest. Plus, I can keep track of our guy, Stingray Robb.

[@danielhenderson8316]

While it doesn't have the all the chassis/engine competition from the greatest days of CART, the on track action is just as good and Dallara knows how to build one hell of a graceful tank.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Jamie Chadwick winning Indy NXT at Road America is pretty cool - though haters will say it's because the rest of the field were too busy taking each other out to bother her. Still pretty cool

[@drummer12films]

I’d argue that was one of the most deserved wins all year. Lights kept it clean for the majority of the race, especially the top 3
