Okay, I finally watched the #Indy500 broadcast, and boy do I have THOUGHTS. Let's go.

🧵🧵🧵
First of all, my goodness HUGE THANK YOU to @IndyCaronNBC for all their incredible coverage over the Month of May. We had over three hours of pre-race coverage alone! 🤯

If you didn’t feel like you got enough IndyCar coverage this month, you weren't paying attention.
Overall: I give this race a solid 7.5/10. The last 50 laps were easily a 9/10 (yes, even with all those red flags).

The first half of the race was a bit of a snoozer, but that's kinda what you get with the current speedway aero package in a 500 mile race. It was expected.

ABRO HILO

#IndyCar #Indy500
Procedimiento de clasificación:
A lo largo de los años, la carrera ha utilizado varios procedimientos de calificación diferentes. La forma de calificación actual de cuatro vueltas (diez millas) se introdujo por primera vez en 1920 y se ha utilizado todos los años desde 1939.
En la actualidad, la calificación se lleva a cabo en más de dos días. En el Día 1, las posiciones 13-30 (o 13-33 si hay 33 pilotos) tienen su posición establecida con todas las demás posiciones establecidas en el Día 2.

Je vous propose des cotes pour le podium avec Scott Dixon en vainqueur ! Le setuple champion d'IndyCar est en pole position et a affiché un très gros rythme tout au long de la quinzaine des essais et qualifs
Sur le podium derrière lui, je vois un de ses équipiers, Alex Palou, qui s'élance aussi en première ligne, et qui a toujours été très performant sur la course. L'Espagnol est le champion en titre, et il aura à cœur de signer un bon résultat sur cette course

Aujourd'hui débutent les qualifs de l'#Indy500, avec leur système foutrement compliqué ! Je vais donc vous expliquer tout ça dans un thread !

#IndyCar
Déjà, un run de qualification à Indianapolis est composé de 4 tours, chaque voiture étant seule en piste. Le chrono établi au total des 4 tours donne ta position. On parle plutôt de vitesse moyenne sur 4 tours, car 'MURICA

#IndyCar #Indy500
Aujourd'hui, les qualifs commencent à 17h, les 33 voitures passant une après l'autre. Une fois les 33 passées, les pilotes peuvent décider de refaire un run

It’s W Series race week! 🎉

A group of 18 talented women will make up the grid along with five reserve drivers. The championship didn’t happen in 2020 so we’re excited to see what happens with some new faces on the grid too!

Here they are… ⬇️

#WomenInMotorsport Image
First up is the reigning champion @JamieChadwick 👑

The British driver races in @ExtremeELive, is part of the @WilliamsRacing family and won two races in 2019. Chadwick was also the first female to win a @BritishGT Championship, so has shown a lot of talent! Image
The next driver is @AbbieEaton44 who is one of the new faces on the grid for 2021 🏳️‍🌈

She has been the test driver for @thegrandtour, and is an ambassador for @RacingPrideHQ.

Eaton has raced in the British GT Championship and the Mazda MX-5 SuperCup in 2013 & 2014 Image

“Adrenaline takes over; you don’t feel the pain. It goes away, and it’s time to go.” – Rick Mears


Rick Mears’ 1991 Indy 500 win embodies a spirit of defiance. With a broken right foot and a backup car, Rick won the pole and his fourth #Indy500.

"Rick Mears is one of the greatest of all time." - @scottdixon9

#INDYCAR // #INDY500 // #DEFYEVERHTHING
After driving around @IMS, Indy 500 rookie @smclaughlin93 recognizes just how formidable of a force Rick Mears is - tough, daring and legendary.

Absolutely AWFUL decision by @IndyCar to end #Indy500 under caution. Anticlimactic, and deprived the fans of the shootout we deserved. Big 👎👎👎 to @IMS @PenskeMedia @jdouglas4 for a bad call!!!
This action is also totally inconsistent with 2014 #Indy500, where @IndyCar threw a red flag with nine laps to go to guarantee a green flag finish.

The drivers, teams, and fans all deserve CONSISTENT calls by @IndyCar. They didn’t get it today. usatoday.com/story/sports/m…
The cynic in me says @IndyCar might not have thrown the red flag late in #Indy500 because @NBCSports wanted to end the broadcast by 6:00 Eastern. If so, that would make a bad decision even worse...

.@GovHolcomb's weekly #coronavirus briefing about to begin. He's expected to announce whether the final lifting of #coronavirus restrictions, currently set for Saturday, will happen on schedule, be pushed back, or be moved earlier (the last two phases were moved up a day or two).
Holcomb: "Indiana is largely holding steady" on key #coronavirus metrics, "but we have seen somewhat of an uptick in our daily positivity rate." Today was first day over 6% in more than two weeks; state hit >500 cases on back to back days last week.
BREAKING: Holcomb delays Saturday's final lifting of restrictions until July 18. "It's just fact that other states, the majority of them, have seen an increase, and we pay attention to what happens around us."

Hamilton County will test all county employees for #coronavirus antibodies next week as part of their annual wellness check.
ISDH Kris Box taking aim at coronavirus fallacies: it's not "a disease of old people." 31% of cases and 91% of deaths are over 60, but 1/3 of cases are under 40 and 1/3 between 40 and 60. "If you think this is over, it's not." The choices you make will affect others' health.
Box: still undetermined whether "the new normal" will allow for large events. (Some examples she didn't cite specifically: #Indy500, Indiana State Fair, the @Colts' season.)

Porque la victoria de Ganassi en la #Indy500 del 2000 con Juan Pablo Montoya fue uno de los más importantes dentro de la guerra civil entre CART e Indy.
Contexto:

En 1996, Tony George, nieto de Tony Hulman e hijo Mari Hulman George inaugura la primera temporada de la Indy Racing League en el óvalo de Walt Disney.

La categoría nace por su disputa que tuvo con los dueños de equipo de la CART, quienes controlaban la categoría.
La disputa nace por una por el control de la categoría y porque George estaba preocupado (?) de la #Indy500 iba a pasar a segundo plano. Además de otros factores como costos, falta de pilotos estadounidenses, entre otros.

.@GovHolcomb's #coronavirus briefing is about to begin. Judging from some brief and uneventful hot mic moments, at least one topic will be the recognition that this would ordinarily be #indy500 weekend.
And sure enough, Holcomb begins by noting today would have been #CarbDay, before urging people to remember that more important, it's #MemorialDayWeekend, and to honor men and women in uniform.
Holcomb: "While we won't have a race this weekend, we hopefully will have one in August, and maybe in July as well." (July is the #Brickyard400, in theory.)

.@GovHolcomb's daily #coronavirus briefing begins. @StateHealthIN Commissioner Kris Box is back after a 2-day absence.
Holcomb's briefing tomorrow will go forward, but he won't be in the governor's office; he's joining his predecessor, @VP, for a visit to the Kokomo @GM plant, which has begun making ventilators.
Box: @kroger will begin drive-thru #coronavirus testing in Fort Wayne tomorrow, and is working to add sites in Indy.
