Scandal in Formula 1 (Indianapolis)

[Raptorex]

Shit throwing continues:

The following is a statement attributed to Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Tony George.

"The Indianapolis Motor Speedway shares in the disappointment with the loyal fans of IMS and Formula One that we did not see the exciting race we all anticipated due to circumstances beyond our control."

"The FIA, Formula One, the constructors and manufacturers that represent the cars on the starting grid made decisions on an individual basis to limit participation in today’s USGP. We suggest the fans who wish to make their feelings known, contact the following."

Gotta love the long straight though and the banking, the infield is just plain slow.

The infield is boring. And flat. And slow.

I don't like that the track has conflicting characters, requiring a compromised car setup.
