This red flag period might delay the race enough for the thunderstorm to arrive.

101st Indianapolis 500 - May 28th |OT| We Got Bigger Crowds than Trump's Inauguration
- Thread starter FrankCanada97
- Start date
What happens then? Do they red flag the race until the storm passes? And if it doesn't pass, do they go with the result of the previous lap before the red flag?

Holy fuck that photographer.

I haven't been able to watch any F1 this weekend, although Monaco is usually always a procession I still love watching the cars fly around that track. It's killing me not being able to watch the Indy 500 at home though, I'm currently dipping in and out of the stream on my phone and refreshing here for updates.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Barely flinched, though. What a pro.

After a certain distance has been passed, they'll call the race. They might postpone to another date if they haven't. The texas race last year was red flagged due to storms and resumed almost 2 months later.

Think that photographer got the shot?

They're only effective if both cars are near the same speed. The rear guards might be gone next year anyways.
Cheers.
Sweet Jesus in a handbasket.

I wonder if he even saw it.
No worries, you can't be on it all the time!
I know little about oval racing, so I'm wondering what the benefit of being in the lead is (except on the final lap). Doesn't the lack of slipstream increase your fuel usage?

The stream I'm watching just switches to track audio during the commercials. It's actually pretty cool during the race, but I'm shocked how many breaks they do.

Oh I've seen this, this one of those clips Michael Bay reuses in his films, right?
Your first time watching a US live event?
Maybe they'll do enough during this red flag that we can watch the rest of it with minimal interruptions.

Howard is being a bum. He's like "Not my fault!"
I think there's more since the ads are "side by side" most of the time with the race in a little window while the ads play.

You're transferring and adapting your knowledge of the cycling omnium, aren't you??
That's what I do.

HO-LEE-SHIT how is this guy still alive? Incredible. I've been totally shaken after seeing this. What a lucky guy that he didn't die today. Oh. my. God.
Alonso is a beast. Hope he shuts up Hamilton and Vettel who always enjoy snickering at him in the interviews. I bow my head to you, Fastlonso!
Commercials every couple of minutes is super annoying, is American TV always like that???? Shiiiiiiiiiit! At least the commercials are funnier than the boring German ones.

Indycar posts the full race on their youtube channel.Will there be some highlights available at some point after the race? Really want to watch it but don't have BT Sport
It's beneficial in terms of handing, but for the Indy 500 there's little unless it's late in the race. But yes, being in the slipstream increases your fuel mileage.
What?
Hamilton has been VERY vocal about what a shame it is that Fernando is stuck in a shit car.

Man, that Dixon has all the chills. No fucks given. I couldn't be so understated even a week after that crash. Super corteous dude.

That's why they also call Dixon the Iceman.
That's awesome. Thanks!
Should have started with bwoah.
I'm so glad there were no injuries. This was a horrible horrible horrible crash.
I was spectating in Las Vegas when Dan unfortunately passed away and it was the worst thing I've experienced expect for the death of close ones. The sound, the silence, the uncertainty, the commotion, everything was so overwhelming.
I'm really glad for Dixon and his family.

Really? That's cool, then. I remember I thought he was a bit too HA-HA! at Alonso in the last interview I saw, but if it's in good humour everything is cool
