The AJ Foyt driver cost race winner Alex Palou a 5s chunk of the lead that he’d built up, and while it didn’t impact the outcome of the result, it left Palou frustrated. Drivers aren’t obliged to give up their position, especially when it comes to going a lap down in case a full-course yellow
With NASCAR celebrating its 75th anniversary, van Gisbergen stunned the motorsport world by winning the rain-delayed first street race in Cup series history. A late caution for a two-car crash sent the race into a two-lap overtime but van Gisbergen, who had grabbed the lead on the previous restart, had little trouble holding off Justin
Championship dominator Palou took control during the middle stint of his two-stop strategy, moving clear of pole position winner Colton Herta of Andretti Autosport, who once again suffered painful misfortune that cost him a podium finish when he was caught speeding in the pitlane. Poleman Herta led the field to green and held the top
They completed a third victory for the German team after its 2016 and ’20 wins with BMW and Porsche respectively in the double-points round of the GT World Challenge Europe by 11.1s over the second-placed Auto Sport Promotion Mercedes shared by Raffaele Marciello, Jules Gounon and Timur Boguslavskiy. The winning BMW M4 GT4, which started
Daly, who was fired from his Ed Carpenter Racing ride ahead of the most-recent Road America round, will return to the series at the wheel of MSR’s Honda-powered AutoNation/SiriusXM spare car. IndyCar medics didn’t sign off Pagenaud to contest qualifying, and a follow-up test did not provide the suitable clearance for the 2019 Indianapolis 500
Three-time Australian Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen (Trackhouse Racing) had posted the fastest average speed as all 10 cars took to the track in the last minute of Saturday’s final round of qualifying. NASCAR debutant van Gisbergen actually improved on his speed, but so did the Toyotas of Reddick and his 23XI co-owner Hamlin. The
Herta lapped the 13-turn, 2.258-mile road course with a best time of 1m06.3096s, and will start ahead of Graham Rahal (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) and Kyle Kirkwood (Andretti). Last year’s pole-winner, Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward, spun out of qualifying during the opening stage and so will start at the back of the grid. Fast Six
Van Gisbergen, the three-time Australian Supercars champion making his Cup debut this weekend in the No. 91 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet, set a blistering pace throughout the 50-minute session. He remained at the top of the speed chart most of the practice and set his best average lap speed of 88.571 mph in the final minutes.
Pagenaud reported a brake failure at the end of the 180mph backstretch at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The 2016 champion and ’19 Indy 500 winner’s Meyer Shank Racing car hit the grass verge at barely abated speed, before becoming airborne. As it hit the gravel, which is on a downslope at ‘China Beach’, the
Power topped the 45-minute session around the 13-turn, 2.258-mile road course with a best lap of 1m06.4905s. Andretti Autosport’s Colton Herta set the early pace at 1m07.7772s before a red flag for Pagenaud’s huge somersault at Turn 4, the Frenchman immediately radioing-in to report that he’d suffered a complete brake failure. His Meyer Shank Racing
O’Ward topped the 75-minute session around the 2.258-mile road course with a best lap of 1m06.4935s, ahead of points leader Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing). Josef Newgarden set the early pace with a lap of 1m07.3573s in his Chevrolet-powered Team Penske entry, but was then shaded by Arrow McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist at 1m07.3249s and Will
Huber Motorsport driver Cairoli topped the times in Friday afternoon’s Superpole session for the fastest 20 cars in the opening qualifying session on Thursday. The Italian posted a 2m16.880s on his first flying lap aboard the #20 Porsche 911 GT3-R to edge out AF Corse Ferrari driver Alessio Rovera by just over a tenth. Cairoli
Last year I had a great second season in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. It was nice to get that championship wrapped up and, staying on with Team Parker Racing from 2021, it was important to hit the ground running. It was nice, a weight off my shoulders and a box ticked. This season I
Kanaan, who has claimed the 2004 IndyCar title and has 17 IndyCar Series wins to his name since joining America’s premier open-wheel class in 1998, hung up his helmet after racing a fourth car for McLaren in this year’s 107th running of the Indy 500. His new role is to provide guidance and strategy for on-track
Ganassi heads into this weekend’s halfway IndyCar round at Mid-Ohio holding a 1-2 in points with Palou leading Ericsson by a whopping 74 points. Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden is the best non-Ganassi driver, a further seven points behind. Palou has already equalled his win tally from his title year with CGR in 2021. Meanwhile Ericsson,
Edwards’s abrupt decision following the 2016 season to retire from NASCAR competition at age 37 was a surprise as drivers winning races and contending for championships rarely step aside at their prime. Edwards, then driving for Joe Gibbs Racing had lost an opportunity at his first Cup title in the 2016 season finale, but had enjoyed
Chastain, who came into the weekend stating he needed to “wreck less and win more”, claimed pole position and ended a more than year-long winless streak in Nashville. With 70 of 300 laps remaining, Chastain ran down Denny Hamlin to take the lead then stayed out front through the final round of pitstops. Martin Truex
Chastain lost a chance at his first Cup win of the 2023 season at the end of the 14 May race at Darlington. Larson squeezed Chastain into the wall on a restart with 13 laps remaining as he tried to hold on to his lead. On the next restart, Chastain attempted a similar move to try
After finishing runner-up to Mick Schumacher in the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship, Callum Ilott made his IndyCar debut in 2021 with Juncos Hollinger Racing at Portland. At the time, he was a test driver with the Ferrari Driver Academy and was Alfa Romeo’s second reserve driver in Formula 1, sharing the role with Robert Kubica.
Rossi first spoke out about the topic after he felt was ‘jumped’ on a number of restarts at the Indy 500 in May. Then a video tweeted by IndyCar’s social media team showing Jack Harvey’s start at Road America last weekend, from his nose-mounted camera, sparked Rossi to criticise the way starts and restarts are
The twice-around-the-clock enduro at the Nurburgring Nordschleife has been pushed back from 11-12 May to 1-2 June after the WEC and Formula E scheduled races at Spa-Francorchamps and Berlin for the same weekend. Scheduling the WEC’s Spa 6 Hours for the same weekend was a decisive factor for the Nurburgring 24’s change of date. With
The category to be known as Electric Sport Vehicle will be open to GT machinery and what the governing body is describing as “coupe-shaped sports sedans” with a minimum power output of 300kW (402bhp) in standard form. ESV has been conceived in the spirit of the long-standing Group N production category to allow electric vehicles
NASCAR brought a modified Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, run by powerhouse team Hendrick Motorsports, to showcase a high-powered stock car to a European audience at the world famous 24-hour race earlier this month. The prime mover behind the programme was NASCAR president Jim France, who wished to honour his father Bill Sr – the
The 2009 Formula 1 world champion is running three Cup races this season in Rick Ware Racing’s #15 Ford with assistance from Stewart-Haas Racing, with his next Cup outing coming on 2 July in NASCAR’s first street race. He will also contest the 13 August round on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Button had an eventful
Palou scored his third win of the season at Road America on Sunday, extending his lead to 74 points over his team-mate Marcus Ericsson. In securing his team’s 250th race victory, the 2021 champion is now 81 points clear of best non-Ganassi driver Newgarden. But the Indianapolis 500 winner, who finished second on Sunday, shrugged off the deficit as
Palou had a healthy 5s lead over Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden going on to the final lap but came across Armstrong on the approach to The Kink – one of the fastest and most fearsome corners in American motorsports. Armstrong – who previously tumbled down the order due to a strategy error – had gone
Dixon finished just two-tenths of a second behind Arrow McLaren’s O’Ward, who punted him out of the Long Beach Grand Prix in April. The six-time champion was livid with the move, which O’Ward was unrepentant over, and declared: “If that’s how the series wants us to race, then I guess it’s all gloves off from
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Palou was running second to Andretti Autosport’s Colton Herta when he ran wide at Turn 5 just before half distance, allowing Team Penske’s Newgarden to get a run on him into the uphill left-hander at Turn 6. As they arrived in the braking zone, Indy 500 winner Newgarden squeezed him at the
Poleman Herta led for 33 of the 55 laps and held a 1.2s lead over Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou at the start of the final stint. But the fact he pitted a lap earlier than the majority of his rivals at the four-mile track meant he had to drive his car to a higher
Andretti Autosport’s Herta made his final pitstop a lap sooner than Palou and paid the penalty in the closing stages, as he was forced to lower his pace and tumbled back to finish fifth. Josef Newgarden (Team Penske) finished second, ahead of a closely matched Pato O’Ward (Arrow McLaren) and Scott Dixon (Ganassi). Poleman Herta
