12th April 2012, 18:30 at 6:30 pm #199344SteveMovieVoiceParticipantAutosport said Bourdais as well. 12 drivers…
12th April 2012, 18:31 at 6:31 pm #199345Victor_ROParticipant@SteveMovieVoice Bourdais isn’t running a Chevy engine though, he’s running a Judd (from now on I’m no longer calling it a Lotus engine).
12th April 2012, 18:45 at 6:45 pm #199346SteveMovieVoiceParticipant@Victor_RO I never said that the engine for Bourdais was a chevy. I do realise he is in the Lotus badged Judd, that has been playing up. I was just adding that it’s 12 drivers who will get penalties, not 11.
Lotus are now a byword for joke, although Chevy are running them close in IndyCar with this debacle.
12th April 2012, 19:01 at 7:01 pm #199348BasCBParticipantAnd we thought Lotus/Judd were having trouble with reliability! Best chance so far for the Target cars to get pole, I guess.
12th April 2012, 20:15 at 8:15 pm #199349AnonymousInactive@WelshF1 but the title of the post is ‘Grid Penalties for 11 Chevrolet drivers’. Whether anyone else has a grid penalty is neither here nor there in the context of this thread.
12th April 2012, 21:31 at 9:31 pm #199350Joel HollandParticipant@welshf1 In fairness to Chevy, they have won the opening two races, so they’re hardly a joke. This ain’t good though.
Dixon for the win on Sunday? Pagenaud could be a bit of a dark horse too – podium maybe?
12th April 2012, 21:31 at 9:31 pm #199351Joel HollandParticipantOh, and that Franchitti fella might be able to kick-start his season now too ;)
13th April 2012, 12:55 at 12:55 pm #199352AndrewTannerParticipantI wonder what the issue was with the engine(s)?
Better to be safe than sorry I guess!
