Bottom post of the previous page:

Munoz to drive the #6 SMP car at Portland.

I've accepted that Wickens has been paralyzed to some degree now. The general results of thoraic fractures are paralysis and we're yet to see any kind of social media response from him.

Hope he's doing ok mentally.

Yes, my thoughts also.

Yep. The last release was five days ago, and that he was breathing unaided and talking to his family.

Granted they want to let the swelling die down before they post any information, but regardless, the silence is deafening right now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's toast as well . Very happy to be proven wrong (make it happen!).

In other news, 24 car grid in Portland, which is very welcome.

And, also, Bourdais goes from having the bee's knees of cars:


To urgh for Portland:

Oh dear me. That looks like a bad 1990's cycling kit.

In other news, Juncos will run two cars of pay-drivers for next season, but won't travel to Sonoma this year.

I honestly can't see them running two cars yet. Unless they want to fail big time.

25 even. They had a test day yesterday, ahead of official practice today.

I dunno, gys. I kinda like the new Seb Bourdais livery. The white & purple combination fondly reminds me of the Nickey Chev Group 7 and CanAm cars of the mid-1960's for the likes of Charlie Hayes, et al.

I get the feeling that they wanted to go full Grateful Dead, but backed out halfway through...

Also confirmed; Alonso will test an Indycar next week.

I don't mind his suit:


But I'll leave the car diecast for you to buy .

You'd expect the Ferucci family to have some 'selective' words about Bourdais' sponsor for this weekend.
