Indycar at Laguna Seca was CARNAGE Again | Indycar Grand Prix of Monterey: The Comedy Review

[@griffinengle]

As an American, I think that the people that want Laguna Seca gone are absolute idiots.

[@CruelYeti]

I think race fans in general all agree.

[@ryanfraley7113]

They’re people that got theirs and don’t wan’t anyone else to get theirs, just old Boomers that want to ruin everyone else’s ability to boost the local economy and provide a product people want in addition to boosting tourism. Same people would complain wildly when their taxes go up or their local government converts their roads back to rock due to being broke.

[@lt1jane]

I've only been a race fan a few years, but I've had this attitude since I was in college. My college needed another parking lot, the neighbors across the street complained that they didn't want to look at a parking lot. An extra $20,000 (1990 dollars) in landscaping had to be added to hide the parking lot from the neighbors. The school is currently getting bulldozed along with that parking lot .. I think the ONLY residents near the track that should have any complaint (and therefore any legal arguments) are those who've lived there since BEFORE the track was built. For everyone else, WTF did you think would happen?!??!? You moved near a racetrack!!?!! These are the same idiots who buy a cheaper house near an airport and complain about the sound of planes taking off and landing. There's a reason that house was not as expensive as a similar one in an area not on a flight path/by a racetrack.!!:!!

[@robb5270]

Your personal story makes no sense. They were there before the parking lot?

[@lt1jane]

@@robb5270 before the parking lot, yes. Before the school was built? No. The houses across the street were small starter houses with young families.

The 'I don't want that in my backyard' issue with property owners in the US is stupid. You get the same crap in Downtown districts that revitalized due to getting a nightlife, they build condos due to it being a trendy place, and then the condo owners butch about the noise.

[@speedyninetyone]

They’ve tracked the complaints to literally one guy that hides behind vaguely named “coalitions” to sound like half of California is behind this. He’s been trying to shut the track down for decades.

[@tainmere]

Afaik the issue wasn’t the racetrack itself, it was that the overall amount of racing (particularly race days) went up from 21 to 23 with further increases possible, and they wanted that to be reigned in a bit. From my understanding shutting down the racetrack wasn’t something desired, just bringing it back prior usage levels.

[@danielhenderson8316]

Laguna Seca is owned by Monterey County in California, so it's not as simple as NIMBYs crying their eyes out.

Locals don't give a shit, it's one specific guy pushing it through some company... Noise doesn't carry that bad in the area...

Indy car is like a Forza online session.

[@JustaGuy1250]

it's funny because of how wrong it is, Indycars are known for how tough they are. Unlike F1, a tap with the front wing won't explode it. People have finished a race before with half a wing just dragging on the tarmac, just because of how structurally stable the body of the cars are.

[@Dani-it5sy]

Be honest. Had it not been for one man that is just from another planet the new rules of F1 would have done their job excellently. Ended Mercs dominance and if you think away Max, so basically you look at the fight for 2nd as if it was 1st. What an incredibly unpredictable seasons we have had. Going into a race weekend there are 8-9 contenders for 2nd place. Max really did spoil the party. The FIA had it right for once in their entire existence.

[@JustaGuy1250]

@@Dani-it5sy True, but you can't punish someone for being good also the 2022 regs created severe problems when it comes racing in the rain. If it rains, there's practically no racing anymore because visibility is nihil.

It’s just greed. They know they are paying less for the property because of the noise pollution, but figure it’s an easy pay day if they complain enough. In this case, private equity wants a cut of buying what’s currently public land and is connected to pushing the nimby cause.

[@lt1jane]

​@@leoallentoffI'm American and find it hard to watch Indy. Indy needs to offer us a subscription service similar to F1TV. I can watch the race on my schedule and not hope my DVR records the race. NBC keeps changing which network they're airing the race on making it harder to record. I have this same problem with F1, but with a subscription I've solved the problem.

[@cdavidclones]

Just want to say it was the first indy race I’ve attended, I saw more Stingrayrob shirts/jerseys than any of the Penske drivers. And throughout the race I traversed from: The corkscrew The top of the hill The entire walk by rainey curve The turn 4 grandstand The turn 3 exit wall And the grandstand along the main straight And by far, the corkscrew had the biggest wooops for srr when they were announcing the drivers pre race. King

[@jakeross4995]

I was also at the track. I think more people showed up this year compared to last year. There was def at least double the amount of srr jerseys as any other driver

[@darrylkraatz1482]

Looks like Will’s promotion of Sting Ray is paying dividends!

[@silentsonata1506]

Man, Kyffin Simpson deserves enough disrespect for the stupid things he does do, there's no need to get at him for stuff that's not his fault. The spin that took out Rahal wasn't his fault, he was clipped by Canapino's front wing which deflated his tire and caused him to spin through no fault of his own. No surprise that Canapino turned terrorist there, considering Simpson is Caymanian and thus, British.

[@francomachiavello2070]

eh, he slowed down too much and went for the inside to block. Canapino didnt react quickly enough. he was penalized too. tough for rahal, can't catch a break
