Like the Daytona 500 would be live on monday night? :p Great news if true, I'll certainly record it from Servus TV since I'll be at the race. Can't believe the Indy 500 is actually live on 3 channels I receive (RTL7, MotorsTV, Servus TV). Next year when I don't go to the race no channel will probably show it.

Lotus Fail

Quote:
Lotus is about to become a much smaller outfit in the Izod IndyCar Series.

The engine manufacturer that got a late start to the new equipment package this season is nearing releases with two teams, a senior IndyCar official said today.

Those two teams are Dreyer & Reinbold Racing (driver Oriol Servia) and Bryan Herta Autosport (Alex Tagliani). BHA is skipping this weekend’s IndyCar race in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in part because of Lotus’ struggle to provide engines.

IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said a formal announcement from Lotus should be coming “in a day or two.”

Team officials could not be reached for comment, but it’s expected they will sign deals with Chevrolet and Honda in preparation for next month’s Indianapolis 500.

Lotus will be left with HVM Racing and Dragon Racing as full-time teams plus Newman Haas Racing for the 500.

IndyCar will allow Lotus to focus on its smaller lineup this year before requiring growth for 2013.

The top-finishing Lotus in the season’s first three races was Sebastien Bourdais’ Dragon Racing car, a ninth April 1 at Barber Motorsports Park.

Why does it suck?

He's still got his drive and now he's got a far better engine to use for it.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Wasn't Lotus a serious sponsor for D&R?

This "Lotus" nonsense is a total farce. If the remaining teams have any sense at all they'll bail out of this before the engine supply vanishes completely.

Not really great drivers, but at least some good field fillers.

Rumor, per TrackForum, has it that Newman/Haas has withdrawn their Indy 500 entry. Apparently it's another Lotus problem.

honestly i'd rather not see him there, in what might be his last "big race", if he were gonna be stuck in such an uncompetitive car.
