Texas Motor Speedway Is A Giant Slip'N Slide
Texas Motor Speedway Is A Giant Slip'N Slide-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:32

It can get pretty boring during a lengthy rain delay, especially at an oval where you’re not just delayed for the rain, but delayed to dry the track off as well. Fortunately, some of the Andretti Autosport crew members discovered that the grass turns into one giant Slip’N Slide when it’s wet.

Humidity at the track isn’t as bad as it was when the race was initially scheduled. Hopefully if there is a long enough break in the storms today, they will be able to dry the track in time to run the rest of the race.

The race was red flagged after 71 laps when rain started to fall, as IndyCar does not run on ovals in the wet. James Hinchcliffe was in the lead.

That Autonomous Racing Series Has A Use For Humans After All
That Autonomous Racing Series Has A Use For Humans After All
Lest we mistake them for vaporware, autonomous racing series has a “DevBot” that looks suspiciously like a real car. It has a standardized safety cell for a driver and all. Only that cell isn’t there for what is likely that most terrifying joyride on the planet—it’s for testing and development....

This Mega-Cut Of 50 Passes In One Road America Race Is Mesmerizing
The WeatherTech Sports Car Championship’s Prototype Challenge cars may be pretty by now, but they’re still mighty quick, especially in WTSC’s mixed field. Case in point: just watch driver Kyle Marcelli pick off cars one by one in this race pass supercut. Watch in awe. It helps to have one...

Shut Up And Fill Your Ear-Holes With 15 Minutes of Screaming Vintage Race Cars
FACT: is the very best thing about Monterey Car Week. You could hang out with a bunch of scowling millionaires ogling Delahayes parked a golf course, or you could go to Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca and see and hear tons of old-school race cars being driven in anger. Let’s...
