Talk about a damp squib! ☔️ Persistent rain showers caused the opening day of IndyCar practice for the Indianapolis 500 to be cancelled ⬇️
Track action was due to start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway today at 9.00am local time, with first practice scheduled to run until 11:15am. But early morning rain soaked the 2.5-mile oval.
Another rain shower then soaked the track, and IndyCar officially gave up hope at 4:10pm local time over the track drying in time to get any running in. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the cars will be on track from 12 noon to 6.00pm. The so-called 'Fast Friday' is traditionally when race set-ups take less of a priority and qualifying simulation runs take precedence.
Cars in the Priority Lane must withdraw their qualified time but get priority access to the track ahead of Lane 2. That second lane is for cars that have already qualified and want to try to improve their position, but choose not to risk forfeiting the speed average they have already set. At 4.00pm, the four Last Chance Qualifiers will compete for positions 31-33. Each car is guaranteed one attempt and may make multiple attempts until time expires at 5.00pm. Each car’s most recent qualification speed will remain eligible for the starting lineup until the time is withdrawn or qualifications end.
