What specious reason is there for not having on board starters for IndyCars and for that matter F1? Historically they have always said the weight...

This is right up there with JPM hitting the jet dryer at Daytona.
Oh, and is there a backup pace car?

All of the cars should be disqualified. They give specific orders to follow the pace car and I didn’t see anyone else bury it into the wall.

In IndyCar where they might need an additional battery (though I doubt it with all the other electronics they are running) I can half understand. But a 10 to 15 pound starter motor can be added to the required weight. With all the electrical power that F1 cars generate the starter motor itself is the only 'penalty' and with all their high powered electronics they should be able to fire the engine without a external starter motor when the engine is near operating temperatures. I can understand external starters when firing a cold engine - when it is near operating temperature NFW!

IndyCar wrecks the pace car I wonder what NASCAR will do to top that?

This is embarrassing. I think I’ll see if Global Rally Cross is on instead.

Seriously, what the fuck is taking so long? This will end up being a stupid timed race. Indycar is a joke.
