A lot of people on here have other things to do such as work and school. Also, life tends to be quite important as well.

15 laps have been done and here is the top 10 times at the moment

76.760
76.800
76.837
76.851
76.871
76.876
76.886
76.888
76.904
76.905 (TD)

So very close in terms of time around Mid Ohio

HawkAussie · Post by **HawkAussie** » 04 Sep 2014, 01:36

Testing for the 2013 IndyCar season got underway with Ryan Briscoe scoring the fastest time in testing at Mid Ohio. Rubens Barrichello coming second, while J.R Hildebrand was third. But on the other side of that coin, Scott Dixon struggled as he came in 21st and Juan Pablo Montoya coming in 26th.

But the talk of the crowd was the closessines of the teams with only 1.5 seconds between all of the drivers. These results could see that it might be a close season to watch for.

1. Ryan Briscoe (Carlin) 76.760
2. Rubens Barrichello (KV) 76.800
3. J.R Hildebrand (Panther) 76.837
4. Justin Wilson (Dale Coyne) 76.851
5. Simon Pagenaud (Penske) 76.871
6. Dario Franchitti (Ganassi) 76.876
7. Sebastien Bourdais (Dragon) 76.877
8. Josef Newgarden (Ganassi) 76.886
9. Will Power (Penske) 76.888
10. Marco Andretti (Andretti) 76.904
11. Simona de Sivestro (Lotus-HVM) 76.905
12. Wade Cunningham (A.J. Foyt) 76.905
13. Ryan Hunter-Reay (Andretti) 76.910
14. Helio Castroneves (Penske) 76.919
15. Ed Carpenter (Ed Carpenter) 76.933
16. James Hinchcliffe (Andretti) 76.964
17. James Jakes (Ganassi) 76.994
18. Ana Beatriz (Ed Carpenter) 77.006
19. Charlie Kimball (Carlin) 77.017
20. Tony Kanaan (KV) 77.026
21. Scott Dixon (Ganassi) 77.027
22. Tristan Vautier (Team Barracuda) 77.030
23. Esteban Guerrieri (Dale Coyne) 77.192
24. Petri Suvanto (Dreyer & Reinbold) 77.265
25. Milka Duno (A.J Foyt) 77.282
26. Juan Pablo Montoya (Ganassi) 77.304
27. Jack Hawksworth (KV) 77.305
28. Ashley Freiberg (Newman-Haas) 77.348
29. Gustavo Yacaman (Team Barracuda) 77.406
30. Robby Gordon (Riccetti) 77.493
31. Pippa Mann (Newman-Haas) 77.501
32. Nicolas Prost (Lotus-HVM) 77.594
33. Christijan Albers (Dragon) 77.615
34. Luca Filippi (Carlin) 77.642
35. Mikhail Aleshin (Lotus-HVM) 77.717
36. Johanna Long (Newman-Haas) 77.943
37. Cale Gale (Dreyer & Reinbold) 78.204

Now time for some RNG's

Vitor Meira as been competing for Officer ProGP in the Stock Car Brasil (1-20) but after being dropped (21-80) he is hoping that Dale Coyne Racing (81-100) can spare his driving in IndyCar
53 - He has now been dropped.

After a year out of the sport, Gabby Chaves has been offered two deals. He could go to the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports (1-75) in the Indy Lights but a testing role with Penske could swing him to IndyCar (76-100)
71 - He will head to Indy Lights

So now its time for Phoenix for the second test, the same rules apply. You have 72 hours to send in your tests

Current weather forecast for Phoenix: Cloudy with a chance of rain.

Jack Hawksworth is already a test driver for KV Racing but in terms of Aleshin then I agree with your propsal to run on ovals.

EDIT: Team Barracuda will do the same testing plans but having Gustavo Yacamán do 10 laps instead of 5.

Since our repeated requests for RNG for our other two seats have been ignored, Riccetti Competition withdraws immediately, citing gross incompetence of series management.

That is fine then, not feeling the trust in the manager. I will start to deliver the results of second testing, tomorrow.

So my simulator has been stupid because every time I try and get some of the race done, it either crashes on me or doesn't recognise what it needs to do.

So this series is cancelled and as I would say the "Indy Curse" strikes again.

Come on guys, if he is prepared to put in the time and effort to do so, allow him the opportunity. It may be a pain in the backside, and it is worth telling him that, but there's no need to be disparaging about it. Is there?
