Indy Track Almost Too Dangerous. Obsolete W/Newer Formula 1 Cars. [View all]

[TheMastersNemesis]

I remember listening to the Indianapolis 500 in the 1950's and remember how many crashes there have been on that track. Even back then it looks like the track is not as well designed as it could be. The "brickyard" needs some serious redesign consideration to make the turns more manageable. Right now they are very dangerous at present speeds.

The speeds of the cars were dumbed down several years ago because they were beginning to get to fast for that track. And the "human" element becoming inadequate. Even the best skilled drivers are not fast amor good enough to handle the micromilleseconds it takes to safely make those turns. As good as the cars are and drivers are the risk factor is not manageable

Yesterday's crash as near 231MPH indicates there is a problem. And when you put 32 cars on the track at the same time on that track something is going to happen. Making the turns somehow more manageable would reduce the risk of an unsurvivable direct hit. Once you get probably over 20 degrees of angle you chances of being killed or injured badly grow exponentially.

The race is truly exciting but clearly something has to be done. This track is really outdated and always has been.
