A pretty boring race. Good for the championship battle though.

You didn't watch the whole race then.

Good enough race. Felt quite F1-esque in that there was overtaking, but most of it was due to cars running on different strategies rather than on pace alone.

I'm sure Indycar races used to have a lot more errors in them - is the driving standard higher now or is the new car easier to drive?

Standards are better and the usual suspects, Sato and Viso were rather quiet. Plus you don't hook rear wheels like in the old car.

Nah, it was dull, I can't get excited about fuel saving racing, I'm sorry.
Couple of laps of sporadic action, but that was still overtaking someone coming out of the pits on cold tyres or breezing past someone fuel saving.

Dunno what it is about this weekend, every race I've seen (except the Trucks) has been boring, even that touring car support race was just 20 mins of those cars skittering around trying to keep it on the track, not actually racing one another.

And I doubt Cup at Pocano is going to change that either, whether it gets in today or not....

Oh yeaa, there was that one Sato incident after all.

Paul, you just expect too much.

IndyCar races at Mid Ohio have never been that much action packed.

Don't expect much more from Sonoma either...

That was a good race, not a great one. But a good one nonetheless.

Yeah, a shame that they can't overtake easily(a "real" one) on such a great track. It wasn't exactly boring for me because, imo, Mid-Ohio is way better than some 80% of F1 tracks, and that alone makes it a nice thing to watch

Overtaking does not equal not boring.

The most non-boring part came when Dixon beat Power out of the pits.

Compared to some really classic races this season like Texas, Long Beach, Milwaukee, Iowa,...yeah it was a dud.
