It started shortly after my post, and finished 50 minutes ago or so  

 

It's the Fast Nine Shootout, that's what it's called. The last part of qualifying, deciding the first three starting rows.

 

It's weird they do not list them in the schedule anyway

It's not, since it isn't a race, but qualifying, and that schedule just shows the races.

 

 

That's the one. Race info, sessions:

I just have to say that the windows on the driver cockpits in Indycar are even more ugly than the bridges only F1 cockpits.

I strongly disagree  

 

At least the aeroscreen isn't really blocking any view and it looks way more like a part of the car than the Halo thingy. Maybe I've just gotten used to it by now, I still prefer the cars without any of them, but I do think it looks better than the F1/2/3 solutions.

And the second one a little later, Marcus Ericsson hard into the wall with some flames at the back  

 

He got out alright, luckily.

Alonso just can't get out of the bottom positions. And he is going to be lapped now..
