So Kurt Busch is on pole for the Cup race - but at the other end of the grid, as if we needed more indication of the kind of trouble they're in, Roush cars qualified 27th, 29th, and 36th. With Spedho-- sorry, Stenhouse their highest qualifier. Notable backmarkers who outran Stenhouse: Michael Annet...

Onyx has to withdraw given my lack of time.

Onyx is interested in Catarina Lopes due to the financial support deal.

Hillman has been confirmed to be returning back to IndyCar in 2018 replacing Roy Guidry who has only gotten his start for Onyx in 2017 due to a rule change breaking Natascha Gachnang from the team.

#30: Kohei Hirate is top priority with Sage Karam as backup option
#33: Roy Guidry (brought in as a Gachnang replacement per rule change of requiring fictional driver as Clint Hillman's gone full Mansell)

Standard Shierson Domino's Livery from the 1980s will be requested.

To be fair to the Coyne paydrivermobile - it has won a race both this year and last year. Mark my words that we should not be surprised to the slightest when Rodolfo starts sipping some milk next year... HUErtas won in Houston only because Wilson ran himself out of fuel, and because Graham Rahal we...

I have to admit that the Onyx Saleen always seems to be one of those cars where it just misses being a positive due to a poor start but gaining 16 positions and finishing 9th isn't bad.

Team: Gil Ballard Racing (CAN)
Car: Ford Focus
Driver: Tomasz Gabrysiak (POL) #21
Second Car: No

Onxy Wrecked

Gabrysiak proves his worth once again. And Hillman is the new Mansell.

At the end of the season, Clint Hillman will return to IndyCar to race for Onyx's IndyCar program. He's learned a lot about road course driving and his only IndyCar win was on an oval by two laps at Texas last season. He has told me that if he is to return to non-open wheel cars that he'll try NASCA...

I wonder what this means for Mikhail Aleshin...

Aleshin's injuries might be keeping him out for much of the season in the best case scenario with a late season return. Worst case, Aleshin's seat has been lost.

I know Rockingham in North Carolina has really steep banking, but wouldn't they be using short oval wings at it considering that it is just over a mile in length, which would cut down on speed? Secondly, Dover was used in IndyCar in previous seasons around 2000 with 24 degrees of banking. I wouldn'...

I didn't know Hillenburg was in the Indy 500 until you mentioned it. He did revive Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina, as you mentioned, but now the future of the track looks to be in doubt again. It's little more than a NASCAR testing facility at this point. I think it could support an IndyCar ...

You might be onto something. Those HRTs and Caterhams were absolute shite.

Newman must win, for the greater good. We change rules to benefit the ones who win the most? WINS DRIVER WITH NO WINS. The shitstorm that would come from this would be too big. And fun to watch. Indeed, it would be like the end of the chase as Newman would have not been worthy for more than 8th in ...

As they should be. The cars are pathetically slow, and only development of a superior powertrain (and energy source) will change that. I wonder if we will ever see mid-race battery switching as a real possibility. It depends on the location and size of the batteries, but it will take at least 30 se...

My biggest problem with it is that it just screams desperation and just smacks of all the wrong things. Granted they shouldn't have been allowed to be in this position in the first place. On one hand, it's a pretty undignified way to go about things, but it was the way the sport was managed that ca...

Plenty of drivers who just want to make it to NASCAR's top level?

Both have major flaws. IndyCar fears leaving the Americas and Formula E has horribly flawed cars that can't be ran for the entire length of the race. Still, I doubt either can be the successor and it might just be one of the F1 feeder lines who replaces F1. Great! The pinnacle of motorsports, now w...

In other, more expected news, Perez has secured his Force India seat for 2015 . Also, Claro has now a bigger space in the car in Brazilian Grand Prix.

The WEC has a long way to go before it can claim that. It has a very short calendar and limited global broadcasting. And I think there is a fundamental problem with the structure of endurance racing - most people don't have six hours to sit down and watch the races. Lots of people also watch Formul...

I think there's two of them... but I presume the one in the UK as the one in North Carolina's got some 25 degrees of banking. Too steep and thus too fast.
