That's Indy, anybody been watching Honda's efforts in F1. BAR-Honda has been doing extremely well in the last few Grand Prix, beating up BMW-Williams and Mercedes McClaren, and is currently behind Renault and Ferrari in the Manufacturers Championship, third in the Driver's list, with Button behind Ferrari's Schumacher and Barrichello... We're coming up on Montreal this weekend, and Indy next weekend, and if BAR-Honda is running as they have been, they may pick up even more points and pass Renault. Tim |
Honda engines at the Indy 500 this year
The top six finishes at the Indy 500 this year were by cars powered with
Honda engines. Pretty impressive if you asked me... V.H. |
Re: Honda engines at the Indy 500 this year
All cars that finished without being lapped were Toyotas or
Hondas with only one exception. Finishing 12 was one Chevy. Demonstrates advantages of engineering and product oriented thinking verses MBAs and finance oriented thinking.

Personally, I abhor advertising, but what doesn't Honda make more
of this in its incessant (but maybe not as incessant as GM and Ford) advertising.

Re: Honda engines at the Indy 500 this year
What Jim writes was a wide complaint among mechanics
for NASCAR. They all would complain about things they could do but are not permitted. In NASCAR, other than the engine, all cars are identical - locking into the anti-American mentality of "stifle innovation". Identical right down to who makes the bolt to raise front suspension so they can roll car into the trailer. Racing has always been about technology advancement. So much of what is standard in today's car was developed on the racing circuits. But not in racing that is about lies. Is it really a Chevy Lumina? Of course not. A real Lumina is a front wheel car. It only looks like the shape of a Lumina to promote the deception all while stifling innovation. What did some Nascar mechanics complain about? Some simple safety systems that they could not install because all NASCARs must be identical. Since then, Earnhart died due to safety system failure. NASCARs go so slow that there is no reason for anyone to be hurt. More of why some race circuits have perverted the purpose of racing.
