Milwaukee open test on RD

[KLang]

I didn't realize this was on RD today.

Philippe is 2nd fastest so far.

I looked and did not see anything until tomorrow. I'm going to go check right now so I can see it while I do paperwork here. Thanks.

I think it's just T&S.

Correct. I didn't mean to suggest the other stuff was up. Looks to be over now.

I heard Servia hit the wall hard when something broke on his car. I see no word on his condition. Hope is is ok. :thumbup:

Servia went out in the second session, so he must be fine.

Phillipe walled it as well and had some back soreness. Don't know if that was first or second session, though. Again, he has times in both sessions.

Philippe hit hard enough to end the session. He ended up going to the hospital for an MRI after complaining of a sore neck.

I took a few pics at practice today:

photo 100_7557 of aj looks great - car in focus but wheels in motion. What shutter speed were you using to get that? Was he at top speed?

Thanks for the pics!

I honestly have no clue, I just did my best to follow the car as I clicked. Camera was set to sport mode. I do believe he was at or near full speed going into turn 1.

edit. -- The metadata says the exposure time was .00420154, f4.5, if that helps.

I took a few more pics at qualifying today. Even got up the nerve to try a couple of people shots, though Kat kept turning her head back away just as I was trying to shoot.

Alex Tagliani had a really nasty crash in practice this morning, but he said it wasn't too bad for him, just the car. He had three stitches on the back of his hand, he wasn't even sure what cut him. It looks like he's out of the race, as the car he crashed in Houston is still at Lola for tub repairs. Not a good day for Walker Racing. :(
