I needed to pay for the Indycar coverage. So, I'm ready now!!

[mukuroji]

Lotus and Cosworth have entered into a new technical and commercial partnership with established IndyCar competitors KV Racing Technology to run in the 2010 IndyCar Series.

This is for Taku!!!
I do like it!!
I must say "Thank you, Honda" once again?

[Sailqueen]

Sounds like there is a problem with the street track in Brazil. I hope all of the drivers will be safe.

[mukuroji]

Sail, I read the article about it. Hope Taku will run well on the slippy track.
Well, tonight, I'll watch the Indycar live on TV. Can't wait!!

[Paolo_Lasardi]

No broadcasting here, unfortunately.

[mukuroji]

I enjoyed whole racing tonight. It was my first Indycar race.

Unfortunately, Takus race ended very soon after the start because of the crash at the first turn!!! Nobody got injured. It's OK. I got used to it. The track & weather condition looked very bad.

Our Taku is back in many meanings. Go Taku!!

PS
I couldn't find the results on the official site. Sorry!

[Rus-Evo]

Can we get Indy Races online?

[PISTON]

um the indycar has a youtube channel with race highlights, interviews etc...

http://www.youtube.com/indycarseries

[mukuroji]

Hi Rus,
I'll try Live video streaming on IndyCar.com because we won't have Live next time!!! We have only 2 or 3 Lives this season despite it's a pay-per-view TV program.
http://www.indycar.com/

Indy Cars, they have more speed and more battles than F1.

[Rus-Evo]

Thats true. Thanks

[mukuroji]

Last night, I watched live streaming on the Indycar site. It made my eyes sore, but it was totally fun!! Taku's Lotus livery looked so beautiful!!
He was fast in qualifying 2 and suddenly his rear tire went off... I thought he had damaged his car by himself, but, it didn't like that. They repeated the slow motion video clip several times to figure it out. It was funny!! After all, it ruined his qualifying.

The race was rescheduled because of the terrible rain!

[mukuroji]

Look at Taku's position just after the start! (His car is Lotus green.) Unfortunately, he ended up being in the tire barrier...after pushing hard.

[f1-cobra]

Mutoh just squeezed Sato into the wall on the restart with 13 laps to go in the Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 at Kansas City. Dixon is leading.

[Rus-Evo]

Scott Dixons season isnt so great so far!!

[PISTON]

great win to dario franchitti in the indy 500, was so worth the only 2hours sleep that nite in between the end of the f1 and and start of indy.....
was a long day at work but

[Mach]

I don't think Danica was too happy with the Canadian content of the question before last weekends Toronto race....
