But no additional cars for Wilson or Munoz.

Good to see Andretti coming good on repaying Wilson for giving up his car to allow Alonso his 2017 attempt :roll:

Do I detect a note of cynicism there? :wink: Rightly so.

The amount of effort to keep one person and his ego happy over these past few years has been astonishing, and to the detriment of so many individuals across F1, Indycar and WEC. Wilson is just one such victim.

It would be about 38 or so from what I've seen.

In the end though, "33 is just a number".

It’s like mentioning Voldemort around here when it comes to you and crap drivers.

Couldn’t you have just deleted that first line of the times @John?

And that’s an unfair comparison against Voldemort. He at least had a loyal band of followers and was recognized for his potential and greatness by the best of them all, Dumbledore.

I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

With Chilton 1st and Power last, I’m guessing Indycar is in the upside down and Laguna Seca is the setting for the new series of Stranger Things.

Bunch of stuff from Laguna I saw over at Reddit, sharing it here because why the fuck not?



New livery for Chilton to drive when he's not doing the beast with two backs with his Grade A girlfriend:

to quote from elsewhere: This team is a goddamned catastrophe shitshow of a tire fire.



10 minutes of Laguna footage.
