Brazil TGTBaTU~
The Good:
Andretti Team! Off season changes and momentum from RHR championship have this put this team in position to win at every event. Huge
momentum going into Indy.
Sato and Foyt continue to be a potent duo.
SFHR and Newgarden had their best race.
The ugly DW12 is quite a racy car indeed!
New layout was quite good!
Will Phillips and his tech team for getting a spec that allows close competition and gives almost every team a chance to win.
Servia and another strong run! Side/side with Marco, was good stuff!
The first good start (and restarts) of the season! Everybody packed up and it reminded me of the starts we use to have back in the late 80’s! More please!!
The Bad:
TK running out of fuel.
Will Power’s luck. Fast at every venue, but nothing to show for it.
The Ugly:
Will Powers luck. Bad and Ugly....
Three hours of a NASCAR rain delay will have bigger TV ratings than this fantastic Indycar race.
The thought the DRR will not run after Indy. If they do leave the series, we will be down to only two of the original IRL teams (Foyt, Panther).
Team Penske’s and Ganassi’s luck has been horrible, leading to no wins through four races.Green, Green, Green!

Race was very good, track is better, tv was ok.
Car is still but ugly and spec, Indycar should be a beast of speed and innovation.
This open wheel fan likes open wheels!!!Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

Maybe our interview with Josef Newgarden the Sunday before the race, gave him some luck..lol I hope he can carry this momentum into the 500.

We did not have any limits in miles per engine, and we had practice, qualifying and race engines.
That does not happen anymore. We use the same chassis for eight years, we use the same electronics, and more than 50% teams furlough team members in the off season. We have two engine manufactures, but only the primary car is fitted with an engine. We have mile limits on the engine, and use the same engine over multiple weekends.
Sorry,100% due to money!Green, Green, Green!

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
