IndyCar, Be Afraid! Its Football time again

“Johnny said you play a pretty good Fiddle, now let me show You How its done!” Hut-Hut, Arkansas!

 

Obviously, this No Fenders rant is pointless! But I felt like uncorking it anyways…

 

As two songs crystalized upon my internal Jukebox after that Oh, so clever title sprang to mind! Since none other than the late Larry McMurtry said He couldn’t write the book until He had a title for it…

 

Thus Wasted Days and Wasted nights first flashed upon my radar. But thinking more about the fearful 869lbs Gorr-rillia’ that IndyCar’s so scared to go up against. Instead Charlie Daniels Devil Went Down to Georgia seemed more Apropos. Since after all, think Georgia’s Football country, Y’all?

 

Having said it before, I’ll stand firm on my conviction that IndyCar sold its Soul to FOX for its latest TV Broadcast deal. For which the crammed down our gullet July portion of the calendar saw FOX only average 734,000 viewers for the Toronto IndyCar race. Last seen on Terrestrial TV Wayback’ in gory 2019, when the NBC Sports Broadcast netted a stark 504,000 viewers. Before NBC showed Oh Canada the love yearly, by making Toronto its only Peacock streaming race of the season.

 

As the hoped for silver bullet of inking FOX as the new television partner, was that the network FOX TV Broadcasts would result in a viewer ratings surge to above the magic One million viewer threshold weekly, Which we know didn’t happen.

 

As Toronto was FOX’s fifth  consecutive race during summer without an audience over 800k. Netting FOX eighth races under 800k, albeit four races above One million viewers.

 

Arse-suming Laguna Seca kept FOX’s streak of under 800,000 viewers going…

 

Average FOX Broadcast equals 829,000+ to date, through 12 races, not including this year’s Indianapolis 500. Compared to NBC’s 38 (2019-2024) non-conflicting races vs. NASCAR, the Indy 500, weather delays, NFL or COVID-19 season averaged 998k plus. Which drops to 935,408 for races going up against opening weeks of NFL. football.

 

While NBC’s six non-conflict telecasts last year averaged 932,833 to FOX’s 829,833 = Over 100k less FOX viewers to date! Which I’d say will not improve with the doldrums, Err Dog Dazes ‘O August fast approaching. Uhm, where’d they go Vern?

 

NBC’s 2024 tally dips to an average of 868k plus when factoring in last year’s Nashville finale vs. Week 2 of NFL Football, Urgh! Which was still approx. 40k higher than FOX’s tally through Toronto…

 

Look, I get it, which doesn’t mean I have to like it! That we’ll never go back to IndyCar’s Heyday’s of CART. Which for example the 1990 CART PPG IndyCar World Series also featured 17 races. Beginning on April 8th at Phoenix International Raceway. And ending on October 21st at Laguna Seca Raceway, with effectively a Double Header. Due to the Marlboro Challenge race running on Saturday.

 

With two new races added that year, both being street races at Denver and Vancouver, with Pocono being dropped due to safety concerns.

 

Although 30 years ago, the IndyCar season began another 17 race calendar on March 5th at Miami’s Bicentennial Park. And concluded the season on September 10th at Laguna Seca. With seven street races, six Ovals and four road course races.

 

Hmm, don’t Y’all just love when history gets in the way of your rant? As perhaps this six months on/off thingy’ Aint’ so new, Eh?

 

Yet IndyCar is never going to improve their ratings until they figure out how to improve the schedule away from its yearly Famine-Feast-Famine routine. As everyone knows All about the ridiculous six month Hibernation. Followed by two or three races with three week gaps between them, Blah-blah-Blah. For which I’d say the 1995 calendar was way more “balanced” and flowing nicely, without any momentum killing gaps upon it.

 

Then slamming half of the season between May to June. A weekend off and then another five races over four July weekends, before limping to the finale on August 31st, Crickets! Is never going to grow your desired audience…

 

And let’s not even get started on one of IndyCar’s worst Buzzwords. Can Y’all say Date Equity? With it being time to play Wackamole again…

 

I also  understand we cannot compare IndyCar to NASCAR or Groan, Formula 1, who’s sweeping the nation with it Real Housewives of F1 reality TV Show. Be still my bleeding Heart. What will they do with the demise of Chris Horner, eh?

 

But its funny how IMSA’s still got a few races left on their calendar, i.e.; Battle on The Bricks (Sept 21st) and Petit Le Mans. (Oct 11^th) While the NHRA’s still racing until November 16th at Pomona, the conclusion of its 20 race season. Even with the litany of Pigskins being tossed round, Illegal Formation – tweet!

 

As believe it or not? Thars’ some of us who only follow Motorsports. Meaning its good to have other racing series to follow in IndyCar’s absence. Especially since IndyCar has gone into its winter’s slumber, and won’t see its shadow for another Freakin’ six months, Sigh!

 

As what’s that ‘Ol saying about Out of sight, Out of mind! Which ironically, Davey Hamilton said the very same thing during the Laguna Seca race, regarding the shortness of the IndyCar season…

Sugarplums, Rainbows and Splenda Sweetness abound at Milwaukee

As where’s Good ‘Ol Homer Simpson to say MMM-MMM, Sprinkles?

 

Whale’ lookie Tahr Folks. My Cable TV Bill just keeps going up and up, Bastardoes! As welcome home Tomaso, we’ve tacked on an additional $7.00 to your overpriced bill, Jackarses!

 

Hmm, what’s my Cable TV provider’s motto? Oh yeah, Spectrum, We Care!

 

So guess it’s a good thingy’ I “watched”, Err listened to over half of Saturday mornings practice session from Milwaukee on FS1 during a leisurely breakfast. But  I just don’t get any “excitement” or Buzz listening to the Booth boyz’, especially Wee Willie Buxom’, aka Will Buxton, or Kevin Lee.

 

Even with FOX owning a third of the series, which I hear they threw IndyCar under the Bus at Portland by moving the race to FS1 since the Live Gold game was going long. As all that IndyCar Radio would say was it was a programming problem when the start was delayed 15mins from 12:22 to 12:37PM Pacific, FOUR!

 

As even Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary ellen asked me why hadn’t they started the race yet? Which I listened to in its entirety via IndyCar Radio on one of the Islands in the Puget sound’s “Archipelago”. Accessible only via Washington State Ferry (WSF) fleet of “Timeless” boat, which even sometimes run on schedule, Toot-tooth!

 

As for Milwaukee, as much as I’d liked for  Palou getting win #9 w’; having boldly told boss Cheep’ He was going to win. Have to say I was Rootin’ for William Steven Power or ScottyMac’ to win instead.

 

As I thought it would be Hilarious for Power to win His second race of the season and really make Penske squirm!

 

Although it was Kyffin Simpson making DJ WillyP’ squirm instead, when giving Him the Kyff-Dog’ Swerve, Youch!

 

While once again I was Rootin’ against my Numero Uno IndyCar Driver Pato Who? During Qualie’, wanting to “See” Davey Malukas “Break His Duck” and claim His first IndyCar pole. Which the Chicago lad came Oh, so tantalizingly close to. Until Alex Palou did what He’s done All season long, claiming His sixth pole of the season, Boo!

 

As this left me begging the question. What would you take? A one year extension at Penske, knowing your toast afterwards. Or a two year deal with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing As it sounds like RLLR clearly wants Power; with Sparky’ making way for the Man from Down Under…

 

Whilst it sounds like it’s a foregone conclusion that Penske will take David Malukas next year, even if He claims to be on a two year contract with Foyt. Which would leave Foyt in a Huge Hole for its second car’s budget! Especially since Team Penske is footing the bill for Malukas’s ride.

 

As Marshall Pruett pointed out that Penske hasn’t taken a young driver with zero poles or wins in 40 years! And yes, Scott McLaughlin was a rookie with zero IndyCar poles or wins. But He was a multi-times Supercars champion with some 57 W’s if I remember correctly.

 

With Pruett noting in His August 8th Racer Silly Season update. For which I was still waiting for the website reboot to be upgraded to the Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) standards “promised” by the time I returned home; Uhm, Oopsadaisy, Butterfingers!

 

Noting how perhaps Jacob Abel could “Backfill” the second Foyt seat? Although perhaps Sparky’, nee Devlin DeFrancesco could take His pocketbook there?

 

For which perhaps, All of this will merely be conjecture by now? Although DJ WillyP’ politely told Ryan Marin on the winners podium at Portland that He wouldn’t know until after Nashville…

 

As Milwaukee turned into a day ‘O firsts Sunday. Beginning with Mexican Salvador de Alba scoring His maiden Indy NXT win, leading wire-to-wire! With Andretti Global claiming a clean sweep of the podium. Including runner-up Dennis Hauger securing the Indy NXT and Rookie Of the Year (ROY) Championships.

 

Then after Alex Palou had led a staggering 195 of 250 laps. A momentary light shower producing sprinkles on-track set the stage for a dramatic end to the Headliner’s event.

 

As Ed Carpenter Racing’s (ECR) Christian Rasmussen, who’d incurred a speeding penalty earlier, along with ECR teammate Alexander Rossi and others, bolted on fresh Firestone rubber.

 

Thus Rasmussen splendidly carved His way thru the field, making mincemeat of the competition. Before brazenly shooting past race leader Palou to lead the final 16 laps enroute to His first career IndyCar win!

 

As the victory was Oh, So Sweet for Rasmussen driving the Splenda car! Giving ECR its first IndyCar win since I believe Rinus VeeKay won on the IMS Road Course Wayback’ in 2021?

 

As Palou said Himself during His podium interview, Rasmussen simply had fresher rubber and Congrats to Him! With Rossi finishing a disappointed fourth. Giving ECR two Top-five finishes on the legendary Milwaukee Mile!

 

As how can you not be Happy seeing another first time winner in victory lane, Eh? As Congrats Christian Rasmussen! 

Current Formula 1 Constructors who’ve Won at Le Mans

Although when is an F1 Constructor not a winner at Le Mans?

 

Yeah, its another long winded No Fenders story turned into two part harmony. Or is that more groaning I hear?

 

As I’ve already covered the most successful Formula 1 constructor to win Le Mans overall. With the rest of the grid paling in comparison.

 

As I came up with the following trivia question. What do Mercedes and Williams share in common? As here’s what I came up with for winners, beside Ferrari.

 

Aston Martin: 1959

The Aston Martin DBR1 is the only other front engine winner at Le Mans. And yes, I realize that today’s Aston Martin F1 Team began life as Jordan Grand Prix, before Lawrence Stroll cleverly rebranded it as Aston Martin in 2021. Born out of the ashes of Force India and its interim name of Racing Point. Which dovetails nicely with His owning the controlling interest of their road car company.

 

As many will known, the David Brown owned Aston Martin Racing team designed the DBR1 for the 1956 Sports Car Championship season, before the upgraded 3.0-liter straight six cylinder lump’ was introduced in 1957.

 

After three years of frustration, Aston Martin achieved their greatest glory, winning that year’s 24 Heurs du Mans with Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori at its controls. While Aston Martin would also win the Sports Car Championship title that year. Only achieved three times that decade. With Ferrari doing likewise in 1954 and 1958.

 

Yet how many remember that Aston Martin during the David Brown Corporation era also entered Formula 1 briefly between 1959-60? Although by the time they got round to introducing the DBR4 it was obsolete. Along with the lighter, replacement DBR5, both being front engine layouts with straight six engines. When Sir Blackjack’, aka Jack Brabham was dominating the sport in His Cooper rear engine racecar…

 

Alpine: 1978

Alpine has a long, tangled relationship with Renault, its parent company. With today’s Alpine F1 Team having been rebranded from the latest iteration of Renault in 2021.

 

Although Alpine had been merged into Renault Sport in 1976. Nevertheless, it assimilation included its Sports Car racing programme.  Which Renault wished to win Le Mans for the prestige of winning on home soil.

 

Interestingly, there were actually four Renault-Alpine’s entered in the 1978 race, one being a customer entry, with different models entered. Including the controversial ‘Bubble” top roof which was only raced upon the winning Alpine A442B.

 

As Patrick Depailler and Jean-Pierre Jabouille in the latest A443, said the acrylic bubble top partial roof made them feel claustrophobic and trapped engine heat in the cockpit. Along with obscuring vision. Even though Depailler set a top speed of 236mph on the Mulsanne Straight! As the acrylic “canopy” gave the car an extra 5mph…

 

Thus it was Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud winning aboard their bubble roof A442B.

 

And with the victory complete, Renault withdrew from endurance racing to focus their energies upon Formula 1. Before returning to endurance racing first with the A480, a rebadged Rebellion R13. Grandfathered into the ACO’sLMP1 Hypercar rules between 2021-22. And then today’s current factory Alpine A424 Hypercar programme. Which includes the likes of Mick Schumacher as one of the team’s six drivers.

 

Sauber: 1989

Peter Sauber began His long motorsports career by racing in Hill climbs in 1970 in a car of His own construction. While Sauber first competed at Le Mans in 1978 with its C5 Sports Car.

 

Sauber’s association with Mercedes Benz began in 1985, supplying engines for the Sauber C8 Group C chassis, with the C9 being introduced in 1987.

 

Sauber officially became the Mercedes Benz Werks Sports Car team the following year, and the C9 not only won at Le Mans in 1989, but also claimed the Constructors and Drivers titles that year.

 

The C9 was the second fastest car ever at Circuit de la Sarthe, recording a terminal velocity of 248mph, the magic 400kp/h on the Mulsanne Straight!

 

The renamed Mercedes Sauber C9 was replaced by the C11 for 1990, which also won the Constructors and Drivers titles again, before ultimately being replaced by the C291.

 

It was these “Silver Arrows” Sauber Sports Cars that I believe first brought my Attenzione to a young German driver named Herr Schumacher. As I tend to recall that Michael Schumacher, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger drove together as Junior Drivers for Mercedes in Group C, before all three advanced to formula 1.

 

Sauber itself made the leap from Sports Car racing at the end of the Group C era to F1 in 1993 with Mercedes backing, taking over the supply of Leyton House March’s Ilmor V-10 lumps’. Having remained in F1 ever since under various guises. And will become the Werks Audi F1 Team next year.

 

McLaren: 1995

Presume everyone knows of the evocative McLaren F1 GTR winning le 24 Heurs du Mans with Lanzante Motorsports in 1995. With J.J. Letho, Yanick Dalmas and Kokusai Kaihatsu at the controls of the No. 59 LMGT1 entry.

 

As the racecar was developed from the original McLaren Supercar designed by Gordon Murray, with its unique three seat layout, seating the driver’s lone seat in the cabin’s centre.

 

As I’m guessing that McLaren is the only Constructor to have won Frederico Suave, nee Fred Alonso’s mythical “Triple Crown”, i.e.; Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and either the Monaco Grand Prix or the F1 World Championship…

 

Williams: 1999

Yeah, technically Team Willy’s never won Le Mans, which I’m aware of. Yet I included them since Williams Grand Prix engineering designed, built and developed the winning BMW V-12 LMR Prototype that Yanick Dalmas, Pierluigi Martini and Joachim Winkelhock drove to victory that year.

 

RETRO: Remembering some of BMW’s Sports Racing Cars

 

The quick answer to my trivia question above is the year 1999. Although it was also when Mark Handlebarz’ Webber and other members of the Mercedes Werks team went airborne and spectacularly barrel-rolled their CLR Prototypes. Which had a nasty habit of somersaulting due to high speed aerodynamic deficiency, Youza! 

The most successful Formula 1 Constructor at Le Mans

The 1965 winning Ferrari 250LM on display at the IMS Hall of Fame museum, a very long time ago. (The Tomaso Collection)

 

Although this should be Uber’ Obvious!

 

Suppose this is what happens when you’re deep into listening to several hours of le 24 Heurs du Mans on Zed Intrawoods’ via RS1. (Radio Show Ltd, Channel One)

 

Thus I found myself going down another endless Wabbit’ Hole, wondering out loud how many of today’s Formula 1 constructors had also won overall at Le Mans? Which perhaps some of you already know the answer.

 

As it’s a pretty significant 70% “Strike” rate, with only three teams not competing at Circuit de la Sarthe. Although I’m left wondering if one prominent F1 constructor has ever sponsored a winning entry? While arguably, 60% of the current F1 grid has actually won Le Mans.

 

(12) Ferrari: 1949, 1954, 1958, 1960-65, 2023-25

The Prancing Horse’s list of winners reads like a veritable Who’s who? Although not sure that could be said about most of today’s drivers, but who knows, Eh? Since thee Krakow Kid certainly is a “Star”.

 

Luigi Chinetti got the “Ball” rolling, no Hut-Hut Omaha jokes here! For Il Commendatore, nee Enzo Ferrari in 1949, some Gory 76 years ago! Driving the iconic “Red Barchetta”, the evocative Ferrari 166MM. With Chinetti driving an unheard of 23 Hours! While co-driver Peter Michell-Thompson, better known as Lord Selsdon, owner of the Ferrari. Drove for only an hour Sunday morning, around 4:25AM. As it was Chinetti’s third and final victory.

 

1954 saw Doce Argentinians winning for la Scuderia, with El Maestro and El Cabezon victorious. As Five-times F1 World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio needs no introduction! Teamed with Jose Froilan Gonzalez, better known as the Pampas Bull. Who also gave Ferrari its debutante Grand Prix victory at Silverstone in 1951.

 

F1: The British Grand Prix - Now and Then

 

As the Argentine duo were entered in a Ferrari 375+. With another four years passing by, before we get to la Scuderia’s Golden years.

 

In 1958, Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill won Le Mans aboard a Ferrari 250 TR58. Which would be the first of Gendebien’s eventual four Le Mans victories, while Hill would claim three wins.

 

Driving the front engine Ferrari 250 TR58, the pair won Le Mans for the first of their eventual combined three wins. As not sure why? But in 1960, Gendebien won behind the wheel of a Ferrari 250 TR59/60 with Paul frere, whom I remember better as a longtime contributor to Road & Track.

 

As I now know the answer to this unasked question. Ironically Hill was paired with Wolfgang von Trips in one of that year’s five Ferrari’s. With both von Trips and Ludovico Scarfiotti running out of fuel on lap-22 on-track. While eventual winner Gendebien also ran out of petrol, but was able to coast into the pits, Momma Mia!

 

Next, Gendebien reunited with Phil Hill for the pair’s second victory at Circuit de la Sarthe in 1961. Behind the keyboard of the aging, or should that be ageless? Ferrari 250 TRI/61.

 

For 1962, Gendebien and Hill won for the third time together, with Gendebien becoming the first ever four times winner. Driving a Ferrari 330 TRI/LM Spyder, the final front engine winner at Le Mans.

 

While I just learned that the “I” designation in TRI stands for “Indipendente”, for independent rear suspension. As TR stands for Testa Rossa, arguably some of la Scuderia’s most beautiful racecars!

 

This Le Mans specific 330 TRI/LM Spyder began life as a 250 TRI/60 Fantuzzi Spyder. Being rebuilt twice after wrecks in the Targa Florio, along with contesting the 1960-61 24 Heurs du Mans.

 

Then regulations allowed Ferrari to rebuild the car into its final configuration with a larger 4.0-litre normally aspirated V-12 and new bodywork. Which obviously was a different era for racecars…

 

1963 featured the first rear engine winner, the Ferrari 250P piloted by Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti. With Jean Guichet and Mino Baccarella winning behind the wheel of an “enlarged” 3.3-litre v-12 Ferrari 275P the following year.

 

Then for 1965, Ferrari won for the sixth year in-a-row thanks to the largely unexpected triumph of the privateer North American Racing Team’s (N.A.R.T.) Ferrari 250LM. Driven primarily by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt. Along with the unrecognized Ed Hugus.

 

As I won’t even bother trying to explain the controversy surrounding the 250LM and Enzo not getting His way with Homologation! With Scuderia Ferrari racing at Le Mans until 1973, when they quit Sports car racing.

 

Arse-suming Y’all know the story behind Ferrari’s current 499P, which carry’s the Nos. 50-51 in deference to it being a half century since the last factory entry at Le Mans. As the 499P is built to the Le Mans Hypercar regulations, with two Werks’ entries, plus a third “customer” entry contesting the FIA World Endurance Championship. (WEC)

 

While the 499P shares the same 296 GTB 3.0-liter V-6 twin turbos architecture. It is a fully stressed member in the 499P Prototype. And its front axle electric motors generates an additional 268bhp, give the racecar semi-permanent All Wheel Drive.

 

Debuting at Sebring in 2023, the 499P was victorious at that year’s Centenary edition of the 24 Heurs du Mans. With the No. 51 of Antonio Giovinazzi, Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado ending Toyota’s five year win streak.

 

Ferrari repeated at Le Mans the following year, this time with the Seester Factory entry #50 of Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nickolas Nielsen. While AF Corse introduced the third “customer” 499P with Robert Kubica, Robert Shwartzman and Yifei Ye. With the No. 83 winning the Lone Star Le Mans race at Circuit Of The Americas. (COTA)

 

This June, Ferrari completed a Hat trick of Le Mans victories, this time with the customer No. 83 entry of Kubica, Ye and Phil Hanson. Bringing the Prancing Horse’s Le Mans win tally to twelve, one behind Audi. (13) As Audi ranks second overall, while Porsche leads the way with an astounding 19 Le Mans victories!

Current Ferrari Models lineup

Tomaso “Strikes the Pose” with a brace of Ferrari 488 GTB’s in Scottsdale. The Tomaso Collection)

 

Uhm, should I take the red one, the white or some other Prancing Horse languishing at the Penske Auto Group’s facility in Scottsdale?

 

For humour, I “Googled” 2025 current Ferrari production model lineup and got the following answer from la Scuderia’s official website.

 

Since Curious Minds wanna Know, following my riveting No Fenders Penske Racing Museum Eye Candy yarn…

 

The current roll call begins with the brand new Ferrari F80. Followed by the  SF90 Stradale, SF90 Spyder, 296 GTB, 296 GTS, 12Cilindri, 12Cilindri Spyder, Purosangue, Amalfi, Roma Spyder, 296 Speciale, 296 Speciale A, SF90 XX Stradale, SF90 XX Spyder, 812 Competizione A, and the Icona series Monza SP1, Monza SP2 and Daytona SP3.

 

Have to say this was far more models than I was expecting, Momma Mia! As some of these model names are obvious; 12Cilindri for example. While others I’ve just learned about for the first time, i.e.; F80, Amalfi, Purosangue, 12Cilindri and Icona series…

 

Although many of you will be several miles  ahead of Mwah about this, Ci!

 

The Ferrari F80 is Maranello’s 80th Anniversary model. (2027) With the 799 units based upon the same 296 GTB platform. With styling inspired by the iconic F40 and Daytona SP3. Along with styling cues from the 365/GT4 Daytona and 12Cilindri. And features Butterfly doors, whatever that means?

 

Yet this Ferrari sounds like a total Beast! With its 3.0-litre tin-turbo V-6 engine mated to three electric motors, with the hybrid having All-wheel drive. Derived from the All conquering 499P with a staggering total 1,184bhp, Bravo! With 888bhp from the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) alone, thanks to the whopping 55.1psi turbo boost – the highest in a production car ever.

 

Ferrari claims 0-100kp/h (62mph) acceleration in 2.15 seconds. 0-200kp/h (124mph) in 5.75 seconds. And a top speed of 350kp/h, (217mph) Momma Mia!

 

The 12Cilindri is la Scuderia’s current front engine 12 Cylinder Grand Tourer, hence its name. It utilizes the same 6.5-litre V-12 lump’ found in the 812 Competizione, and is the successor of the 812 Superfast.

 

The Purosangue is Ferrari’ luxury five door SUV, albeit la Scuderia prefers “Utility Vehicle”. Based upon the Roma platform, the front engine utility vehicle sports the current 6.5-litre V-12 engine. And is designed to compete against other luxury SUV’s, a la Lamborghini’s Urus and Aston Martin’s DBX models. As suppose Maranello couldn’t forgo this lucrative market segment any longer, ci?

 

The Amalfi is the forthcoming 2+2 Grand Tourer replacement for the outgoing Roma Berlinetta, set to debut in 2027.

 

Whilst I’m not even going to try describing the unknown of Icona series Speciale models, and instead, let somebody else do the heavy lifting.
