I think it’s refreshing that the largest stakeholder in the circuit, is admitting the mistake and saying he’s embarrassed. Good for him.
Now….what will he do about it? He can pay that fine with pocket change. Institute change so that these incidents don’t happen again? That’s the next step.
And: I’m thankful that the racing circuit has a governance structure that finds these errors and then publicly displays them. Without that transparency, we might never have known.
Rick, Penske Ent/IndyCar only made the situation public after the P2P system went down in an early session at Long Beach. Meaning, the rest of the field’s were not operational but Penske’s were and there was no longer a secret. A reasonable person may say that a team smart/creative enough to circumvent the software so that P2P worked when it shouldn’t have wouldn’t be limited to just the use– could there be other things? Check out a few onboards from last year that are floating around twitter/message boards. I don’t necessarily buy C. Daly’s explanation that Penske drivers mashed buttons like you and I do when we play Mario Kart. While that may happen in non-comparable driving situations, on the onboards I mentioned, JN and SM’s combinations of button pressing at times where P2P isn’t available is suspect at very best. I think there needs to be transparency as to how P2P use registers at race control, if there can be not only an override to make it available without the tower but also block any signal back to race control that it was even used, and (admittedly the weakest area of my argument) if the use of P2P would/could show on the telemetry/data for car outputs. If the additional power is easily detectable by other team’s monitoring race data of cars on track, then this should be a done deal + case closed. But I think that needs to be addressed in the context of IndyCar’s statement to date and no benefit of the doubt be given until then.
Thx ZL.
Still…the transparency–however tardy–is good.
Agreed mostly. I appreciate ingenuity in a spec series. There is a line tho. More important than the line is a hand up + full transparency. Hope we get it!
