It is the second to last round of the IndyCar 2014 season. Last year, the race was a mess with Will Power winning it. Speaking of power, here’s his on-board lap of around this twisty track.

22nd August 2014, 15:51 at 3:51 pm #271074the_sigmanParticipantJust to mention it, in 2012 we had changes to the layout. So Power’s lap, doesn’t exactly show the circuit Indycar’s layout.
And I hope Kanaan gets his second win at Sonoma, he deserves one this year.
22nd August 2014, 16:40 at 4:40 pm #271076SPParticipantYes, the current Indycar layout is 2.385 miles. WTCC used a wider\longer version of turns 7 and 11.
22nd August 2014, 17:40 at 5:40 pm #271109sushant008Participant@sigman1998 – Correct. New layout looks like this:
And Here is the famous visor cam video of Simon Pagenaud.

24th August 2014, 13:39 at 1:39 pm #271751SPParticipantMajor earthquake (6.0) in the Napa Valley area today, some of the drivers and team members reported their hotel windows were broken. Not sure how this will affect the track schedule.

Some infrastructure damage reported, track activity may be cancelled as major roads in the area are inaccessible.

24th August 2014, 15:50 at 3:50 pm #271788Iestyn DaviesParticipantPower looks well clear, while Newgarden is starting to show his pace. Q always looks odd with the either/or layout for the back rows of the grid.
24th August 2014, 15:58 at 3:58 pm #271792SPParticipantThey use the split groups to minimise qualifying interference on-track, but it can disadvantage some drivers if one group is weaker than the other.
25th August 2014, 6:35 at 6:35 am #271936sushant008ParticipantFantastic race. Enjoyed it. Anything can happen this sunday with 100 points separating top 5. It’s going to be great.
