IndyCar 2015 - Round 02 Louisiana [Stradale]

Recommended Posts

INDYCAR announced today that it has mandated structural upgrades to strengthen designated Honda and Chevrolet bodywork components in advance of this weekend’s inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana at NOLA Motorsports Park.

 

The modifications include the addition of components that will improve the overall strength of the bodywork for both manufacturer entries. The components have been re-designed by each manufacturer, respectively, and approved by INDYCAR for implementation for the balance of this season.

 

“We applaud both Honda and Chevrolet for their efforts to implement these changes,†INDYCAR president of competition and operations Derrick Walker said. “With a quick turnaround from St. Petersburg, our partners were very diligent in making these enhancements in time for this weekend’s event. We will continue this collaboration and expect additional improvements in the future.â€

 

The structural upgrades were implemented to minimize the amount of damage to bodywork components in the event of car-to-car contact, which will benefit teams, manufacturers and Verizon IndyCar Series fans.

 

“INDYCAR delivers a quality racing product and we will always be proactive to implement changes that benefit our fans,†Walker continued. “These upgrades are a good first step that will make immediate improvements to the race this weekend at NOLA Motorsports Park.â€

 

Honda Performance Development has updated the front-wing end plate and rear wheel guards, which consists of bonded-in-place panels. Chevrolet has added a flange at the base of the upper wing (the "stalk" as it's been called).

 

Firestone Racing group designing new rain tire

 

With inclement weather forecast this weekend in Louisiana, Firestone has brought an additional set of rain tires, totaling six sets, per car.

 

Firestone Racing will utilize the same rain tire used in 2014 as the Race Tire Development team is developing a new rain tire compound, which could be introduced in June. The same primary and alternate Firestone Firehawks used at Barber Motorsports Park last April are being used. Each entry receives nine sets of primary and three sets of alternates.

Come prevedibile, tanti errori con numerose uscite di pista nella prima sessione, e tante bandiere rosse, più o meno sempre negli stessi punti (ad un certo punto Filippi stava per centrare Huertas che pochi secondi prima si era insabbiato, nello stesso punto in cui meno di un minuto prima Kimball era riuscito a ripartire subito dopo esser finito nella ghiaia senza insabbiarsi). Non ho visto gli ultimi minuti ma due bandiere rosse verso l'inizio le ha regalate Dracone, poi anche Hawksworth, Hinchcliffe e Huertas..
