That livery Simona has for the 500 has to be on of my favorite schemes for 2015 now

Looks like Tags will be racing in the 500 for possibly a Chevrolet powered team (CFH?)

That's... pretty much exactly what I expected the oval aero kit to look like, to be honest. Same engine cover as the road course kit, very flat front and rear wings, and the sidepods are sculpted to create as little drag as possible.

Not that I think it looks particularly good, it's just not surprising. I'll probably prefer the Chevy oval kit simply because their engine cover looks so much better than Honda's.

I always loved the look of the DW12 speedway configuration and I think the Honda looks pretty good as well.

Maybe now we get real racing back at Indy, with those aero kits, maybe they produce less drag.

What's that for? I'm getting and funny coment for all I say about the good thing in Nascar or the bad things in Indy. Is there so many Indy blind fanboys? Or of the Indy racing fanboys that they cannot hear a different opinion and get offended?

I felt like they were a bit too draggy as well. Just a bunch of slingshot passes last year. I'm not saying it wasn't fun but I still think slippery aero is the way they need to go.

Drag is good. Slippery aero on ovals produces poor racing because cars cannot follow. What the cars need is more horsepower. There needs to be a balance and current Indycar hasn't found that yet.

I'll take Indy 500s now versus Indy 500s from pre-DW12. Pre-DW12 there was zero overtaking at Indy. Now there's too much. I'm fine with that. Complaining about too much overtaking is the equivalent of complaining about have too many hot busty swedish blondes wanting to sleep with you. Just grow some balls and enjoy it. It won't last forever.

My :tumble: was in reference to the post above yours.

I still wonder that how long Indy 500 will last, next year is gonna be the 100th edition, I guess it'll be the first time an annual race will reach its 100th edition

There's no reward with no challenge. I get really bored and annoyed after watching 3 laps of this kind of racing. Also hated the pre-DW12 at any fast oval other than Indy mostly. No, the Indy racing before the pre-DW12 was perfect. Ever since forever. If I want racing like we have now. Daytona and Talladega are 10x better, and they actually have a challenge also. But I'm still happy to see Indycars getting more popular due to this racing. But no, that's not like complayning that there's to many Busty Blondes. I love them. It's more like all the crowd around me turned into the annoying version of Rusty Wallace and Bill Webber.
