On a different note it's time to have a closer look at how we got about qualifying. It was bad with 22 full time cars, with 26 it's mayhem.

On a different note it's time to have a closer look at how we got about qualifying. It was bad with 22 full time cars, with 26 it's mayhem.

On a track like this, it certainly is.

I saw David Land advocating for one lap qualifying. Over my dead body! But I would say that it needs revamping.

3 groups of 8-9 cars (as opposed to 12-13), with the top 3 from each session advancing, followed by a top 9 shootout?

[John]

Debris caution on lap 2. Sato out. Surprisingly clean start.

[John]

Plenty of action and lots of banging so far. Dixon leads Herta and JoNew as we creep in on the halfway mark.

[John]

Felix goes for the divebomb on Rossi at the end of the straight, they touch and rossi is sent into the wall. I can see Felix getting a penalty for that.

[John]

This pitlane is downright dangerous. Fucking hell.

[John]

Another caution on L56. Track surface breaking up in T1.

Edit: Probably from the wall on the inside of T1 after it getting tagged a bit too much.

[John]

Kirkwood wrecks JJ. Palou tags Ericsson twice in half a lap nearly wrecking both.

This league....

[John]

There's been some cracking stuff today.

Dixon
Herta
Felix
Rahal
Ericsson
Palou

with 14 to go.

[John]

That's also your top-six. Good race!

[Cheeveer]

Great race! Glad Felix didn't get a penalty, that move on Rossi was 11/10. If there ever was a racing incident, that was it.

[MonteCristo]

Pretty action-packed.

Dixon tied with JoNew, despite having one win to Josef's three. Shows how ridiculously consistent he is. The Professor of Indycar.

Twin Iowa races this weekend. That'll knock a few contenders out (literally or figuratively). Still pretty tight up top.

Though I guess we'll likely be saying bye-bye to Palou in third, lol.
