Re: Indy Las Vegas Motor Speedway - RIP Dan Wheldon
Ayer fue un dia muy triste, con esta noticia, recien llegaba a mi casa y puse ESPN como buen fanatico de Indy, y lo primero que veo es semejante aacidente, de inmediato me di cuenta que nada bueno iba a salir de ahi, Paz al cuerpo de Dan y fuerzas a su familia, la Indy pierde un gran campeón, y un gran hombre, que manera mas lastimosa de cerrar la temporada.

La mejor forma de recordar a Daniel Wheldon, "Daniel el terrible" como lo conocian Alex Pombo y Andres Agulla en las transmisiones de ESPN
Este fin de semana en las Vegas Dan Wheldon iba a correr con el auto #77 del equipo de Sam Schmidt, mismo con el que Tagliani consiguió la Pole para las 500 de Indianapolis y que Wheldon ganaria en las narices del equipo Panther Racing

Viendo el programa última vuelta en fox sports sur varios pilotos argentinos señalan que es algo que podía ocurrir en cualquier óvalo y que es responsabilidad de los pilotos fijar el límite...

Hace poco vi un comentario de Jimmie Johnson, piloto de Nascar, con el cual estoy totalmente de acuerdo, los ovalos para este tipo de carros formula son muy peligrosos, las velocidades que desarrollan y la cantidad de carros que van corriendo juntos no permiten ni el mas minimo error como vimos ayer, por mas entretenido que sea, en Nascar por lo menos el piloto tiene un poco mas de proteccion por las caracteristicas del carro y el rollcage que utilizan, incluso las medidas que han implementeado como el uso de los restrictores y los flaps para que el carro no se levante, etc.
Por aca esta la opinion de Jimmie Johnson sobre la Indycar y los ovalos http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/95490
En la final de la temporada 99 de la serie CART tambien se dio una situacion similar a la de ayer cuando el piloto Greg Moore perdio la vida por un fuerte choque contra el muro interno del ovalo de California, los que seguian la serie fijo lo van a recordar

Jody Scheckter wants son to quit IndyCar after Dan Wheldon's death
Former Formula 1 world champion Jody Scheckter wants his son to quit IndyCar racing following the death of Briton Dan Wheldon.
Scheckter was a spectator at Sunday's Las Vegas Indy 300 and had an anxious wait before discovering son Tomas had escaped unharmed from the 15-car crash.
"I've wanted him to give up for a while," said Scheckter.
"Hopefully this will knock some sense into him and realise there is more to life. It really isn't worth it."
Asked whether the sport was safe, Scheckter told BBC Radio Berkshire: "No. It is the most dangerous form of motor racing at the moment.
"I think the set-up they put in so it can be more of a spectacle makes it very, very dangerous on circuits like this. Some others [circuits] aren't as bad."
Scheckter, 61, who won the Formula 1 title for Ferrari in 1979, claimed the crash was "inevitable" due to the changes designed at making IndyCar more competitive.
He said wings allowing more downforce were aiding the speed of cars, and also pointed to the number of drivers - 34 - who took part in the race.
"There is hardly any difference in speed between the good drivers and the bad drivers," said Scheckter, a South African who now runs an organic farm near Basingstoke.
"They were basically touching wheels at 220mph. They all bunch up together so there are 34 cars in a small space of track.
"One person makes a mistake and this happens. You [shouldn't] have to get killed if you make a mistake. It was madness. Formula 1 is not like that anymore and it is still quite exciting."
Scheckter said he was in a hospitality suite when the crash happened and feared the worst for his son, who has competed in 115 races, winning two.
"We really just hoped," he said. "I had the headset on through to his channel and I heard him say 'someone had hit me in the back' so I knew he was OK after that.
"Dan raced with or against some of my sons in England in Formula Vauxhall. We have known him for years really. He has been very successful. A bubbly guy all the time. It is very sad."
Former Formula 1 and IndyCar driver Mark Blundell said the Las Vegas track was unsuitable for cars of the power and speed used in Indy 300.
"It was inevitable in many ways," the Briton said of Sunday's accident. "It was a recipe for disaster. These type of cars shouldn't be on these type of circuits.
"Fifteen cars wiped out - 40% of the grid - and we've had a fatality. That's not acceptable."
Former Formula 1 driver and BBC commentator Anthony Davidson said a $5m offer to any non-regular series driver who won the season finale in Las Vegas was not to blame.
"We drive our hearts out - you know, whether it's at the back of the grid or the front of the grid - our goal is always to win a race and you know it was a great idea and I wouldn't put any blame on the organisers or that style of the race," he said.
"You've got to look to the root of the problem and the root of the problem is just the fact that you've got very high speed cars travelling around very closely fought races with open cockpits.
"You have to question, do they have to go that fast? Can the spectators see the difference between 250mph or 160mph? I am not so sure.
"I don't think it is down to the style of the race or the carrot at the end of it. The temptation and carrot of the money is always there no matter what race you are in."
Scottish IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti, who clinched his fourth IndyCar series title after the cancelled event, also had concerns about the race.
"I could see within five laps people were starting to do crazy stuff," he said.
"I love hard racing but that to me is not really what it's about, one small mistake from somebody.
"Right now I'm numb and speechless. One minute you're joking around and the next he's gone.
"He was six years old when I first met him. He was this little kid and the next thing you know he was my team-mate.
"We put so much pressure on ourselves to win races and championships and today it doesn't matter."

La transimisión de ayer tanto en abc como en espn fueron muy dramaticas, yo estaba con el nudo en la garganta, y como decía OscarF21, despues de un rato de caras largas y muchos abrazos ya sabiamos que no iba bien la cosa...mclaren escribió:MUY duro ver todo esto, la transmisión ayer fue muy dramática. Por ahi hablaron que iban dandole demasiado rapido, que iban maejando muy nerviosos, etc etc y como q todo se confabuló para la desgracia

Los pilotos más experimentados estaban muy muy molestos con la situación, ellos comentaban q venian dandole muy duro y todavia estaban en menos del 10% de carrera... Ese tipo de roces eran para las ultimas 30... Vamos a ver que pasa con la indy después de esto...Creo q teniamos rato de no escuchar de una muerte en una de las categorias mas importantes del mundo
5millones de dollares por ganar una carrera, pone nervioso a a cualquiera, novato o experto...
