2015 IndyCar Season

[Freude am Fahren]

And actually, the Sportscar version only updates a the start/finish, so when you have a battle going on, you might see the car with two lights in front of the one with one all of a sudden, because there's been a pass on that lap. I imagine these will be more real time, but who knows.

Justin Wilson is unconcious with a head injury at the hospital five minutes from my house after getting hit by debris at Pocono. Hopefully this isnt life threatening.

The Associated Press reports that IndyCar driver Justin Wilson succumbed to a head injury sustained in a wreck Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Wilson was 37.

IndyCar made an announcement this evening at about 9:10 p.m. EDT at the request of Justin Wilson’s family. IndyCar CEO Mark Miles made the announcement, remembering Wilson as “one of the most well respected, highly regarded, and loved people in the entire paddock.”

Driver and team owner Ed Carpenter also gave his respects during the announcement, describing Wilson as “a great professional driver and extremely good at his craft” and “a friend among everyone in the paddock.”

Wilson died at Lehigh Valley Health Network Cedar Crest Hospital in the company of his family. Following IndyCar’s announcement, the family released this statement:

This is just awful. I wonder if this will be the nail in the coffin for open wheel cars on circle tracks. Or at least Indycars. He was one of the very best on road courses.

It may just usher in lexan canopies ala fighter jets.

Fucking sad shit news.

Yeah he was such a cool, unflappable guy. When I was watching the Holmatro guys in a full on sprint for his car I instantly had Fontana '99 flashbacks. Glad to see (though not surprised) that he was an organ donor too.
