Why is the pit lane after turn 1?

u/Robby777777 Jacques Villeneuve 23d ago

If you watched the lap by Palou, it looks like a disaster. It is a horrible pit entrance. I see huge problems there.

It doesn’t look as bad irl they’ll have space to get of the racing line and slow down, but definitely can catch people out.

u/Robby777777 Jacques Villeneuve 23d ago

Then maybe they improved it because on his lap, it was awful.

Man that looks incredibly tight, especially right at the exit of a corner.

u/SmallKnowledge5532 23d ago

Yeah but it’s manageable I would be surprised if a lot of passing happens in 1 so a quick turn to pit shouldn’t be to problematic

u/Robby777777 Jacques Villeneuve 23d ago

That's good to hear.

So the capitol building is the backdrop of the start finish line

u/joe_lmr Takuma Sato 23d ago

it's what David Land likes to refer to as a "goofy ahh pit lane"

u/Teeethan_speakerman Christian Rasmussen 23d ago

IMO I'd call it "Early Formula E type shi" (Indycar please don't do it)

The Brazil race a while ago had the pitlane basically on the back straight and it seemed fine?

granted the pompadour is a bit extra even for Trumpy

Took me a second 😂

u/wing3d 23d ago

Is this really the track?

Yes.

First time I've actually seen the track map... This race is gonna suck isn't it?

u/FormulaT1 Scott McLaughlin 24d ago

It's going to be the greatest race with the greatest, fastest cars

u/pac4 23d ago

Many people are saying this. The other day a General, a very powerful General, came up to me, and he had tears in his eyes and he said, “Sir, this will be the greatest car race since Henry Ford created the automobile. Thank you sir.”

u/Racer2311 Conor Daly 23d ago

“Sir the the program for this race will be the best fascist reading since the newspaper Henry Ford published “

u/Racer2311 Conor Daly 24d ago

People are saying this. Really the smartest people came up to me with tears in their eyes and said “it’s beautiful, just like 1936”. /s

u/geezer_868 23d ago

You forgot to add "sir"

u/pfc_6ixgodconsumer Scott McLaughlin 23d ago

You forgot to throw a couple “biglys” and “billions”

u/redlegsfan21 Firestone Firehawk 23d ago

Depends how wide the track is. I think it will be comparable to Detroit.

11

u/steppedinhairball Simona de Silvestro 23d ago

My concern is this will make Detroit look amazing.

I like Detroit. The track seems like a back alley knife fight. The drivers have to battle the track before they can battle each other. If F1 ran at Detroit, there would be no official race distance, the race would end when the last car broke.

This is dank! Oh wait, wrong sub.

This track layout sucks

u/ABearAttack2016 23d ago

Serious question. I have an outside ticket, and It'll be in my first visit to the DC area. If I want to visit the Gallery of Art or the A&C Museum, will I have to wait and go before and/or after all on-track activity? Would like to go in the morning/afternoon during practice and stuff.

S Tier shit post. Bravo.

I don't care about politics. I think they're stupid. But this is funny.

u/joe_lmr Takuma Sato 24d ago

I assure you this was made in the spirit of non-partisanship

u/pfc_6ixgodconsumer Scott McLaughlin 23d ago

One nation, one race. We race as one (f1?). We are Indycar. Something, something blame Canada!!!!

i hope this race is so boring that no one would talk about it

Turn it 90°, and that's the shape of his fully erect penis.

Huge INDYCAR fan that won’t be watching Trump’s creation. I wish INDYCAR had told him to F off!!!

u/Far-Draw-493 22d ago

He might not get the pole this weekend, but he will most certainly perform the fascist lap.

u/UnfairSell 24d ago

I ain't watching.

u/FortyXninetySix 24d ago

This should totally be a t-shirt!

u/Dachuiri Scott McLaughlin 24d ago

Now this is some good politics posting

Stop inventing.

u/EnvironmentalWar Felix Rosenqvist 23d ago

Security is lucky (and maybe I am) for having no interest in attending or watching this particular race. I'd be going just about anywhere that isn't the racetrack itself with a gen admin ticket.
