    Well I'm going to need something I can watch where it's tight at the front until Formula-E starts, so I'll probably give it a go.

    Watched the last 50 laps or so! Difficult to watch oval racing, as it seems less interesting, but when JPM is racing then it's great!

    First 200mph+ average speed for a 500 mile race

    Yeah... I'm not a massive fan of oval racing either.

    lol, a bash would probably be about right for me, going into the wall at 200+ trying to get that extra .001 off the lap time. My first lap on an F1 simulator I pretty much died

    Aleshin got stuck underneath Montoya's car. Thankfully seems to be ok! Phew!

    You didn't miss much.... lots of yellows. Partially wet race. Wasn't a thriller.

    Didn't Aleshin also go straight underneath someone at Indy road course as well?

    Can't recall. He wound up with his head trapped under Montoya's rear wheel. I thought he could be seriously injured, thankfully not.

    A bit Indy related as ex-champ Tony Stewart was involved, but what the hell was this guy thinking!? Paid for it with his life.

    I have no idea what he was thinking. Walking in to oncoming cars, on a dark corner in black overalls. I'd imagine Stewart didn't even see him until the last minute.

    Extremely tragic, but hopefully it will serve as a warning to others.
