Penske struggling.

Scotty Mac was it seems looking reasonable in practice but tagged the wall in Q1...
McLaughlin failed to make it out of Round 1 in Qualifying for the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, only setting the 12th quickest time in Group 1.

Once Group 2 had qualified, that cemented McLaughlin down in 23rd for Sunday’s 80-lap race. :sorrow:

It marked a turn around in form for the Kiwi who had been ninth and 10th quickest in Practice 1 and Practice 2 respectively.
A lot happened today,” said McLaughlin.

“Unfortunately we didn’t get out of Q1 and on my fast lap I hit the wall, just tapped it, bent the car, and we were done.
Not the first and certainly not the last to make a mistake this weekend....

Herta is on another planet so far.

Happy for FRO. Maybe they've found something on the car during the summer break. Shame for ME, just like Scotty M he tagged the wall in Q1 and was out. He was looking pacey.

The race will be absolute chaos. Might be good to hang back at the start if you can.

Beats me. That's a 23.30 starting time for me. As in "that's a no from me and I'm gonna catch it tomorrow evening instead".
