Fun fact: The spotter for the Proton Mustang GT3 that crashed was sitting at that corner in turn 5. He was at our tent for a good portion of the race until we left.
As an F1 fan I think of rain as something that makes the races more interesting. Why do you avoid wet racing at Indy? Is it a safety thing? Btw, traditional wedding cake, which is full of sugar, steeped with alcohol and coated in sugar icing, will keep pretty much forever in an air-tight container. Keeping a tier for the firstborn's christening party used to be a thing in the UK.
yes, if they raced at indy in the rain someone would die, or the race would be red flagged every other lap. They do run in the rain when they are on a road course, but not ovals.
7am to 3pm , 3pm to 11pm and 11pm to 7am , they get paid to have lunch or half a lunch while on duty. Off duty and Auxiliary Traffic cops get paid OT for special events. Every locale is slightly different but that's basically how it goes.
I would just like to offer the observation that, ever since I became aware of them watching sports car races, I have been endlessly amused by the name of Pfaff Motorsports, pondered in relation to British slang. (I am an American, but I still know about that one).
Like #95 Watching you on F1 COTA Sky coverage; today you interviewed Max V, pole sitter and extraordinary driver (#2 Best on Earth after Kyle Larson) and his "special" [cheating] car (yawn). . . .you are the best. Always look foreword to seeing you on TV: Great vid as always. 17:39; sorry Mr. Rossi, James is not an idiot. I also watched Petite LeMans with the lights going out on the car during dark, night racing !!!! And the car crash that was so dangerous. Anyway, keep up the good work !!!
One other thing, about the crash that took R. Taylor out while leading. That was really bad. To be clear, a bit different from what James said, RT said he didn't see the car AT ALL. A replay from his in-car camera showed the cars he was following, a whole little group including GT cars he wanted to pass, and it was like : CAR!-BANG. I'm thinking he did see the car, but virtually as he was about to hit it, like a matter of milliseconds between seeing the car and hitting it. It could have been REALLY BAD, like the crash at Donington that cost Billy Monger his legs, or the crash at the Rolex 24 that hurt Memo Gidley so badly. Something like that really needs to not happen again.
Hinch is voice of indy... They can't go without him.
44:40
We have been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been, quite possibly, bamboozled.
As a #10 Acura fan, I am perpetually in pain.

@Hinch just as a reference for how slow I am... lol. What was your time around Road Atlanta in iRacing??

So James has been signed to provide live commentary for Zak Brown's daily activities. Got it.

Remind me to never vacation near anything Rossi even likes
Hinch can stay with F1 tv. That’s fine
We need Hinch back in an Indycar seat
