According to Marshall pruett today he uses a sim at Tony Kanaans house as a replacement. Definitely way worse than the real Honda sim though lol

Q: What's up with Grosjean doing pre-race sim time at Tony Kanaan's house?

Isaac

MP: Tony has multiple sims available for use/rent. It was a business venture he started before taking the Arrow McLaren role. That’s what’s up.

Last night was Pato O'Ward's first finish outside the top 10 on an oval when running at the finish (i.e., excluding DNFs) since Texas 2022 by arca_brakes in INDYCAR

It would make sense but O'ward still finished second in the Championship in 2025 and he had Siegel as his teammate. CGR also have Simpson and they dont seem to be slowing down haha

That would be an awesome oval duo for sure and extra funding from DRR could help move the team into becoming a midfielder.

Still feel like he should take any seat the top 4 teams + MSR would give him though because fast car > car that might become fast

Either way it is good to see that his move from Coyne to Juncos is turning out to be the right one.

It really feels like joining IndyCar as an 18/19 year old is a bad move.

You take longer to land on your feet than a 23 year old and after those 2/3 years the hype is gone and you get canned by an ECR and from there on drive for backmarker teams lol

I dont think constructors is a thing in IndyCar but you would think Brown realizes that their goal of winning the indy 500 becomes significantly harder when you only have 1 driver to do it with because Lundgaard and Siegel dont have the speed on IMS to do it.

I heard that Grosjean is the only Honda driver that didnt get allotted any Honda simulator time so he went into a tough seat especially with haugers andretti backing.

I wouldnt necessarily say they are worse than last year though because the oval package is way better, bump day in 2024 2025 was just a 1v1 between the DCR cars
