Many critical of tight, short course as Detroit hosts first street race on the city street in three decades.
Too tight. Too short. Race day will be about survival. Expect carnage.
"It’s too tight for IndyCar, it’s too short for IndyCar," Palou said. "There’s too much traffic, it’s too bumpy" "Yeah, first-year problems," Palou said a few minutes after his initial rant. "It's always going to happen. It's just going to get better from here. The racetrack for the drivers is a blast. We don't even know how it races yet. Everyone is making conclusions already. They probably just need to relax and wait for tomorrow.""I really don't see a lot of opportunity without it creating carnage," Kyle Kirkwood said.
"It's 330 feet is what we calculated," Kirkwood said. "Under 2.2 seconds is the gap if all the cars were on track at once."Palou said that 27 cars at Detroit is pushing the limit on a course as short as the Detroit layout for Indy cars.
