New to #IndyCar ovals and want to try watching them?

I've got you covered with an oval racing beginner's guide. Let's bust some myths and get you excited to watch cars go around in circles! 😉 Rows of brightly colored In...
First of all, let's talk about WHY #IndyCar races on ovals.

It's simple really: ovals are where IndyCar got its start over a century ago. Racing on ovals connects modern IndyCar to its history, and it separates it from other major open-wheel racing series. Plus it is FUN! A graphic is split in half ...
Many drivers who were initially skeptical about oval racing come around to become advocates once they learn just how complex and advanced the racing is.

It's not what it seems from the outside! Oval racing isn't right for everyone—but it might be right for you. A graphic with numerous quo...

Estamos a 74 días de la edición número 107 de las míticas Indy 500 y vamos a repasar quienes son los 33 pilotos que van a intentar clasificar al gran espectáculo del automovilismo y como se desarrolla la competencia.

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.

A small pre-race grid shot thread.

@FRosenqvist starts on the pole for the second time at the @IMS road course. A podium finish here would help a long way for his quest to stay in the IndyCar world.

#GallagherGP #IndyCar
Starting third with his pre-race calisthenics is @PatricioOWard. He is the most recent IndyCar winner at Iowa and he has two @IndyPro2000 wins at the @IMS road course. Can today be win number three at IMS for the driver currently fifth in points?

#GallagherGP #IndyCar
After a hectic week, @josefnewgarden starts fifth after passing all medical protocols. The Tennessee native can really help his title chances by scoring his second win at the @IMS road course.

Technical Thread: Dampers

An incomplete explanation of IndyCar’s most talked about setup item.

#INDYCAR #tech
Dampers on an @IndyCar serve to control the dynamic motions and loads of the sprung and unsprung masses (ie the chassis and the wheels).

Meaning, when the car is transitioning from one steady-state condition to another.
Example:
- Steady-State = going down the straightaway
- Dynamic = turning into a flat-out curve
- Steady-State = chassis settles into constant speed cornering

From turn-in to steady-state cornering. The chassis moves dynamically, the dampers affect this motion.

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

👩‍🎓'TODO REMATADAMENTE MAL' 👨‍🎓
El editorial de @CharlyGP_Twitch en @GPCaster
⭕️"El caos se adueño del trazado de Jeddah Corniche, maravilloso pero algo temerario, por mor de la incompetencia de dirección de carrera y de la dejación de la FIA que no está ni se la espera."#GPCast569
⭕️"Dos gallos que hicieron en la mayoría de los casos las maniobras demenciales que permite el demente mayor de Masi y que acabaron enfrentados físicamente."

“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.

Nesta segunda-feira, 11 de fevereiro, Roberto Pupo Moreno completa 60 anos de vida.

Um piloto de poucos recursos que, movido seu talento, peregrinou por diferentes cenários durante a carreira, em diversas categorias.

#F1 #Moreno60
Moreno viveu uma roda-gigante de oportunidades e emoções que faria muitos colegas de profissão desistirem pelo caminho.

A história do “Baixo” (nesta foto ainda cabeludo, ao lado de Piquet em Brasília) não é contada em números, e sim em feitos. Veja alguns deles:

#Moreno60 #F1
✅ No começo dos anos 1980, foi piloto de testes da lendária Lotus preta e dourada, selecionado pessoalmente por Colin Chapman, fundador da equipe inglesa.
