Spin Leads To Terrifying Airborne Somersault Crash In Indy 500 Practice
Spin Leads To Terrifying Airborne Somersault Crash In Indy 500 Practice-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:42

Helio Castroneves has won the Indy 500 three times. He’s blessed at the speedway. But today the speedway bit back. Thankfully, Helio is ok.

Castroneves got loose on track and backed the car into the wall in the short chute between turn one and turn two. That got some lift, and then air got in the car and sent it flipping. It landed on the roll bar and Helio got out under his own power.

Scary moment.

A strangely interesting video appeared on my social media feed yesterday. The video was filmed at the Venice Beach Skatepark in Los Angeles, California. The footage focuses primarily on a skateboarder as he launches out of a bowl, pulls a nosegrab high in the air and lands reasonably cleanly. All...

Should The FIA Have An Annual F1 Officiating Review?
For the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, motorsport’s international governing body, its response to the poorly-managed, championship-deciding Formula 1 finale in Abu Dhabi was truly unprecedented. Within days of being elected FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem launched the kind of investigation usually reserved for a fatal incident at a Grand...

New Vanwall Le Mans Hypercar Faces Legal Rights Hurdle Over Name
In the flurry of announcements revealing new sportscar prototype programs, I was surprised to see the name “Vanwall” among manufacturers like Peugeot and Porsche. Vanwall was a 1950s British racing car manufacturer that also competed in Formula One and won the inaugural World Constructors’ Championship in 1958. Though, Vanwall...

Why Now Is The Right Time For Three Formula One Races In America
With Formula One’s announcement that will be joining the F1 calendar in 2023 came the realization that there will, for the first time since 1982, be three rounds of the sport that take place in America. And while naysayers have argued that this race trifecta will fail just like...
