Wow. Looks like a Brazilian rain forest there compared to how dry it's been in the past few years. Hope CA can get a break from the drought they've been suffering.
CART was really great series and same goes for F1 before death of Senna, now IndyCar and F1 are far far far from what it should be. When I was a kid I enjoyed watching both CART and F1. When I look at this video ouch!!! the horror!!! same with new F1. Also what is it with ugly looks of F1 and IndyCar. Its as if someone is trying to finish off those series. Safty is another such thing racing is dangerous, ovals even more so this is something that comes with racing people may die, it will never be a safe sport. If you want safe sport, we already have chess games, or tennis.
+ztarrfect to be fair f1 has only really became bad very recently, not after Senna's death. CART was great, but the new Indycar series of the past 2-3 years is fantastic also to watch, great racing. ok, f1 seems to be getting worse and worse, but give Indycar another shot - and the cars sound nicer then modern f1 cars. as for your view on safety, safety has always been the priority in motorsport, so get over it that racing is getting safer, all the drivers want it, even your hero Senna wanted it.
+kpcart actually the technical changes made after Sennas death, made it almost impossible to get close to the car infrond of you, hence making F1 races procession races. That even uptoday is happening. for sure the engine change didnt help F1 image but I can live with that sound. However turbos will not help with close racing. For close racing you need to change the underground of the car back to 1994 formula, this will give the cars more front grip duriing fast and medium fast corners when driving behind a car hence you will not lose ground and can closein on the car in front of you. Indy car well they just blew it . for sure ovals are always exiting to watch even in those horrible looking cars but so is nescar ahhh well what can I say. It really is amazing what they done to it what lucky thez had indy 500 else it would have been death long time ago
IndyCar, you should run Sonoma this time of year when the grass is green. The place looks beautiful.
Love the green grass as it makes the place look beautiful.
Sonoma looks awesome with grass
+austin blayney hear hear!! I agree.
Agreed.
Totally !
finally some actual footage of the cars running this year! thanks rc.
I forget how awesome these cars sound.
never see the Sonoma track with the green grass.

The lightning is back!
Retro Target Lightning Scheme = Best Target Scheme
Any reason why none of the cars are using the curb on exit around 1:20 ? Seems like it would be advantageous to get extra width on exit of corner
+snareskillz I'm guessing due to this being testing, IOW, don't hurt the car
If you don't mind.. What lens were you guys using? Great shot!!
#IndyCar sound a lot better than a #F1 car. Sonoma does look beautiful with the grass from all the rain nor cal been having
whoever is responsible for these "modified" tail sections should be fired.
Why? Looks much more functional than last seasons kit.
I wish they'd figure out a way to make this version of the IndyCar even uglier. Oh wait,...never mind.
+J. T. I know who to go to if the world salt level is too low.
+J. T. wants some fries with your salt?
+Taras Shevchenko Cool! Where??
+jiminey6969 Yes, Please!! :)
