Good to finally hear an explanation for the weight jacker. Although this probably won’t get a sequel, next time you have a rookie (or even sophomore) guest I’d love to hear about their experience learning the tools and remembering to “stay ahead of the car”.
This was outstanding. It did a great job of covering a lot of the points from the old Skip Barber beginner’s DVD that come up most often during the race broadcasts. The one thing that I would’ve added would be to clarify the difference between horsepower and torque. I realize that this is a tough bull to take by the horns in a short overview video, but I would’ve loved to see you guys take a shot at it. Anyway, great work on this. :)
Great explanation on a lot of topics. Surprised you didn't cover the hybrid system. One thing I always wondered about was the driver weight regarding the amount of ballast, plus using a cooling vest affecting the weight of the car. If Mr. Cranky Pants, (Alex), will allow it, would love to see more information like this.
Check out INDYCAR Rulebook Section: 14.4. Among many rules - 14.4.2.2 - Driver Equivalency Weight must bring the combined weight of the Driver and Driver ballast to 185 pounds. 14.4.2.10.4 - A Driver weight change of more than plus or minus 3 pounds: Entrants must change their Driver ballast before the next on-track session. 14.4.3 - A Driver weight change of more than plus or minus 7 pounds: Entrants may be subject to penalty. (Aka, losing or gaining a bunch of weight between races will get you in trouble).
Your content is amazing, but I think you don't know how to make the UA-cam algorithm to reach more people. Titles, descriptions and thumbnails need to adapt. Thanks for the content.
newbie to indy here, looking forward to watching this

Torqie is the rotational force to the drive wheels, horsepower is what gets you to highest speed in any given gear.
I came to listen to a travel pod and instead there was a technical racing discussion, WTF. 😆
Oversteer/loose can be best summed up with a Days of Thunder quote "Loose is fast, and on the edge of control"
I wish that I'd seen this when Rossi started in Indycar and I started following it. Good job.
Seen this video? Time travel?
This would have been so useful when i started Indy 😭 great explanations
Good morning. Love your podcast!
Great video just one question. Can COP move left to right or no is that mostly suspension based?
COP?

@@patricks3482 That's the technical explanation, I need it in bar terms and maybe some drivers' stories.
We need more high speed ovals. Kansas chicago pocono and TMS need to be back.
Pocono is too dangerous for IndyCars.
@ any oval is bro. Pocono is a mans track. So is Vegas. Cart ran there for years
awesome decision to call potential fans idiots

@davidholmer6099 you are a bit old for that, dear :)

thanks, too basic. Guess I am not in your demographic.
Then why thank them?
