Launch Pods
The 'pods' cars that contact them with their front wheels.
Thank goodness Scott Dixon was not hurt.
If they don't launch a car they break off and become deadly debris, like the one that almost got Oriel Servia right in the head.
Remind me. Who was the braniac that came up with those behind the back wheels launch pods?
And congrats to Takuma Sato (and Honda).
Though I was rooting real hard for Helio to get his 4th. To bad the Chevy engine didn't have enough grunt.The secret to winning races: More Throttle, Less Brake.

Looks like those pods will be gone next year.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
