Rain predicted to start roughly 30 minutes before the green flag. So, seeing as Firestone only have intermediate tyres available, this might be a shit show. Or a thriller.

Rossi looks like he's out already. No rain.

Was losing hope in Sweden's international racing effort until this race.

No one else has run out of talent, except in these silly first corner incidents. At least they are trying though.

With 2/2 Swedish wins in the feeder series at Indy and Felix running well, it's not that bad.

Aaaaah! Just watched two hours of yellows and will it /wont it rain, and ad breaks waiting for some excitement....then 5 laps from the end the feed got taken down by NBC for copyright violation. :annoyed: :roll:

Now I remember why I dont watch Indycar anymore. :whistling: :wink:

When I lost the feed Pags was charging through the field a second per lap faster than the leaders. He just got up to 2nd when I got dumped, and surprised to read he made up 5 seconds in the last 4 laps. Great drive though, even if I missed the last bit. Just glad Dixon didnt win.

Second half of the race was really entertaining - when the track was green, that is. Indycar needs to calm the fuck down with these yellows - did we really need to stay under yellow for 9 laps to remove one car that was stuck on the grass verge? At that point it wasn't even about getting the cars in the fuel window any more. NBC probably wanted to shoe horn a few commercial breaks there.

Damn good racing at times, slower at times. Felix 8th in the end despite torching the car. Twice.
