Sorry to create a whole new thread but I can't stop laughing at this. Don't know why it struck me so funny but (from Racer):

Herta told RACER. “Will crashed, Romain crashed twice, Devlin went off a few times, I went off once. Rossi went off, and these were just the people in front of me,

I've thought for a while that the philosophy around the UAK was pretty crappy (specifically I'm referring to how they (IndyCar) specified that the UAK would have its car setup options ferociously limited).

Somebody 'in the know' made reference to this in another place. Basically their comment was 'The UAK has 10 setup options, 8 of which you would never use." He/She was being facetious, but their point was well made.

What's my point? I think the drivers/engineers have VERY limited ability to tailor the DW-12/UAK's setup to a driver's liking. As such, you have occasions like the Portland test where everybody goes off because nobody is happy with the car.

Elsewhere they call this 'great racing!!!'
I call it 'Mickey Mouse'.

And not because I live in Florida...
