Maybe if Indycar adopted restrictor plates :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: - when it is determined that you can't go at 90% (or some number close to that) of the speed of the leaders you get black flagged. Welcome to Indy WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Please don't take it personally Brie I remember when Ford tried to make an Indycar engine - it was terrible

That's not true..... Ford dominated when they entered the fray towards the end of the Offy era.

You obviously don't remember when Indycar mandated forced induction. Ford tried and they tried. It was horrible. Add to it the rules change mandating E85 ethanol and I am surprised GM can make an engine for this too.

Ain't nothing like a piece of pussy, except maybe the Indy 500

Same....as non american I was always thinking

Damn...that Indy 500 must be some out of the world racing :)

Ps. huge Kevin Dillon fan here
 
Maybe not Indy but, Ford did win the 24 hour of Le Mans... Actually all 3 places. I know I know that was a lot of years ago and not Indy. Well they actually hired outside people to get that car to do what it did.
 
Group B Rally or TT IOM...that's real man/machine racing



Spoiler...IOM racers are all Chuck Norris clones, no shit
 
Unfortunately, I’m dealing with some stuff irl and won’t be able to defend my back-to-back wins this time around. ;-)

I hope I can be back to recoup my crown next year.

Good luck guys and GO ROSSI!!
