I know sometimes F1 and indycar like to make more of the aero screen than what it is... but i think this is one of the BEST examples of the safety improvement it is.

[@danw2112]

If the Halo and Aeroscreen was a thing 10 years ago, Jules Bianchi and Justin Wilson would be with us today. 😢

[@spaz2401]

best thing they have done

[@hmsfan9]

​@@danw2112 Jules wouldn't be

[@MrJTH1985]

Aero screen wouldn't have saved JB 😢

[@tainmere]

​@@danw2112 the FIA investigation report on the Jules Bianchi accident makes it very clear that something like the aeroscreen or the halo could not make such an accident survivable. "11. It is not feasible to mitigate the injuries Bianchi suffered by either enclosing the driver’s cockpit, or fitting skirts to the crane. Neither approach is practical due to the very large forces involved in the accident between a 700kg car striking a 6500kg crane at a speed of 126kph. There is simply insufficient impact structure on a F1 car to absorb the energy of such an impact without either destroying the driver’s survival cell, or generating non-survivable decelerations. It is considered fundamentally wrong to try and make an impact between a racing car and a large and heavy vehicle survivable. It is imperative to prevent a car ever hitting the crane and/or the marshals working near it."

[@camrsr5463]

That last lap crash could have been much worse if we were still using the previous chassis. these cars can still get airborne but they don't stay up there for long. Love it or dislike it, this chassis is one of the safest race cars in the world and that crash was a good demonstration of the commitment to safety that indycar has been working on for the past 7 or so years.

[@seanskenes4079]

The chassis protecting neegarden last month in his crash was probably even more impressive in showing off its safety.

[@Jarvitalize]

I admit I was one of the “halo ruins the open cockpit cars” and now we have example 25 of drivers being saved by it. I happily eat my words every time

That last lap crash is almost unfathomable. One of if not the worst crash i've ever seen at a short track.

[@combatwombat594]

I know a lot of people hated the halo when it was first put on Indy Car's and F1 cars, but it still continues to save lives to this day

[@DJSockmonkeyMusic]

I've always liked the aeroscreen. It makes indycars look mean and fast. Like low flying spacecraft 😂😂

[@TeganCantEven]

So, so thankful that these cars are as safe as they are. A decade or two ago that final lap crash could have been fatal.

[@jamesswain2465]

The aeroshields are safer plus they look really cool.

[@NaPDeViL03Gaming]

Safety has come a long way. In the 1950s there would have more than likely been 2 fatalities on the last crash. Happy to see everyone safe.

[@js290]

open wheel open cockpit is antiquated... 1950s indeed...

[@ThatwasJuli]

Hats off to Red Bull for developing the Aeroscreen.

[@ThatwasJuli]

@jaguatiricaimediata5305 Yes, it was developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies (belongs to the Red Bull F1 team). F1 opted for the Halo (developed by Mercedes, so my original comment that it was made by RB as well was wrong) in which Indycar showed interest too but was concerned it might impact visibility on oval courses so they went for RB‘s Aeroscreen instead. I’m glad they did so.

[@fixer10091994]

As much as I dislike Red Bull as a company the aeroscreen is great and superior to the halo

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

@@ThatwasJuli I didn't know that, super cool

[@js290]

fenders and roof serves the same purpose, probably more cost effecitvely

[@GeometryEX-hp9zs]

The halo device used in IndyCar. This was one of the earliest solutions provided by F1. If I remember correctly, FIA allowed different solutions to be provided for comparison. Red Bull made a version with a glass cover. Mercedes made another version. This solution was not finally used in F1 because drivers reported dizziness problems. It was probably due to the refraction of light caused by the curvature of the glass. Then the second solution was used. This is equivalent to an open bidding. So there is essentially no order of precedence. However, this version of the halo device was indeed tested in the practice race on the Red Bull car. It will eventually need to pass comprehensive tests before it can be actually used.

[@Dat_kiwi22]

Well, Kirkwood got away with one due to the aeroscreen.

[@luisrosano3510]

Indycar is the most amazing motorsport category on the world.

[@STC987]

Because they have a 14 year old chassis and an engine formula that produces no passing? The 5,000 fans in attendance today agree with you.

[@assaultlick2169]

Checkout short course off road. Search for Crandon

[@assaultlick2169]

​@STC987 yet you're still here in the comments section. Are you an F1 fan who simply wanted to see what passing was like ?

[@mathewhosier9739]

​@STC987 14 years? The current car is the Dallara IR 18, first used in 2018, it's a 6 year old chassis, now I guess you could say it's an evolution of the Dallara DW12 which is a 12 year old chassis but many changes were made that completely transformed the chassis, the current IR18 is nothing like those older cars, it's a 6 year old chassis

[@mathewhosier9739]

Definitely one of the best and more underrated championships

[@jackheintz9747]

This was my first Indycar race I've attended and it did not disappoint. Was definitely memorable!

The latest safety improvements helped Kirkwood safely get out of his wrecked car. That was scary.

[@slwsnowman4038]

Since its introduction...the Aeroscreen has had some serious tests thrown at it by Iowa Speedway.

[@nicholasbenge9497]

And you have in IndyCar now one of the biggest promoters of the Halo/aeroscreen safety system, Romain Grojean.

[@joshuasoto55]

The Halo proving once again that is the best safety addition to Open wheel racing this century

[@jamesswain2465]

Iowa is best known in racing for the Knoxville Nationals which is sprint car racing. Sprint cars are known to flip this year they've got nothing on the IndyCars as far as flips go.

[@commodiusvicus]

I didn't have the will power to make it through the whole race, but these highlights are pretty entertaining. I guess with Indy most of the racing happens at restarts and coming out of pits and otherwise they just form a train?

[@YouTubeAuditor1]

Is this the first motor race you've ever watched in your life?

[@nickb2049]

this race was bad because the turns just got repaved giving them lots of grip and making the inside line super strong and the only option. before the repave there were multiple lines to run and lots of passing. it also didn't help that Firestone brought a very hard tire that didn't have much fall off.

[@STC987]

These cars are old and terrible

[@assaultlick2169]

​@@nickb2049it wasn't the only option. Many passes on the outside in the last 2 days on the restart. Every oval track has a preferred line, just like any other track

And people want more ovals? They need to make some serious changes for that to happen, they took tracks like Auto Club, Las Vegas and Pocono off the schedule because of how dangerous the racing was, now yes those were super speedways (according to Indycar) but its clear they need to build a new chassis for oval racing to thrive in Indycar, would like to eventually see a 50/50 schedule like both CART and the IRL used to have back in the early 2000s

[@mad66official]

The problem is Nascar, being the bigger company, takes these great tracks and ruins them for Indy for their races. This is why we no longer have Texas. But I would love to see more 1.5 mile or 2 mile ovals on the schedule. I think they should go back to Michigan, and get rid of the dogshit Detroit "track". Scott Dixon said on Connor Daly's Speed Street Podcast that he would love to see the return of Michigan, but Indycar's issue is the lack of attendance. Dixon said they (Indycar) would never do it unless they can get people to come to the race. But hopefully the Nashville race at the end of the season will be a great race like it should be and maybe it will spark a resurgence in big ovals.
