Big Indy 500 Crash Takes Five Cars Out, Red Flag Ensues
Big Indy 500 Crash Takes Five Cars Out, Red Flag Ensues-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:09

A late race contretemps between Sebastien Bourdais and Graham Rahal ended in tears and an angry Rahal, and three cars behind crashed in the check-up. Entering the third turn, Rahal was going for a pass on Bourdais up the inside. While he didn’t have the track position, Bourdais put a bit of a squeeze on the front wheel of Rahal’s car, pushing him down into the grass. Bourdais pushed into a spin, and Rahal collected up into the wall right along with him.

Before the cars even came to a stop, Rahal had his hands up wondering what the heck Bourdais was thinking with that move at over 200 mph.

As the cars checked up behind, Zach Veach and Felix Rosenquist jumped on the brakes to avoid the accident ahead, and got collected in their own shemozzle. Charlie Kimball was also collected in that second accident.

Thankfully...

Why Monaco Will Always Be The King Of Formula One Circuits
The Monaco Grand Prix has caught a lot of flack in recent years because it’s just not as well suited to modern-day Formula One cars as it was to the series’ vintage counterparts. Longer, wider cars make passing difficult on a short and narrow track, so we’ve seen more...

WRC Is Going Hybrid But You Won't Be Able To Tell
The World Rally Championship powertrain ruleset next season, but after some clarification comments from Jari Matti-Latvala, principal of Toyota Gazoo Racing’s effort, I’m not entirely sure why. It seems that these new hybrid systems, while adding about 130 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, can’t actually be used for...
