Great, clean race (few cautions for an Indy500), with an amazing finish. And it was so good to see so many spectators at a sport event again.

Two cautions for basically pit-related incidents and only 3 DNFs in a 500 mile race is truly insane stat. Last time there were only two cautions in this race was 1969.

 

I believe the rain-shortened 1976 race had fewest DNF record with six - and that race only lasted 102 laps.

Well, it has been a very entertaining first 6 hours or so. Sadly, then the red flag came due to the fog....and a few minutes ago came the announcement that the race will restart no earlier than 07.00 :( 

 

No night racing on the Nordschleife this year.

Heavy crash for Felix Rosenqvist in the IndyCar race in Detroit, after apparently his throttle got stuck all of a sudden :yikes: 

 

He was moving and after a good while they freed him from the car. Now let's see what injuries he has, especially the way the nose of the car looked is worrying for his legs.

@heywoodu Rinus VeeKay will miss the Elkhart Lake round this weekend due to a broken collarbone he suffered while cycling :facepalm:

Yep, too bad...one of the better tracks out there. There go the (small) championship chances.

Six car pile-up in W Series qualifying at Spa. Beitske Visser still to have X-rays on her leg (the car that went upside down). Other involved were Sarah Moore (who started it by crashing out first), Ayla Agren, Abbie Eaton, Belen Garcia and Fabienne Wohlwend.

 

Once again Eau Rouge reminds everyone of its fearsome reputation. Sadly modern cars try to go there flat out and sometimes it goes awry.

    • Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
