TIL about AI-generated Grokipedia, which created this frustratingly wordy article about the American IndyCar Series, complete with references to my own articles and others on the topic, but also some hallucinations and gaping holes in knowledge: grokipedia.com/page/american_…

I want an open chassis formula in novelty promotional vehicle racing!!!

My guess at the layout of the IndyCar DC race, based on these constraints: all roads at least 40 feet wide, pit is located at the widest street (upper right part in the diagram), and adequate room for run-offs. Length = 2.68 mi. Paddock on the streets around Nat'l Gallery of Art.

Reviving Bill Tempero's idea of giving young drivers more experience in older Indy cars! MKR should bring their fleet of DP01s on tour to underserved markets!

That non-standard element on the front wing of this 1993 Lola is what IndyCar used to be about.

Today let's honor the Unser family's achievements at Phoenix by remembering Johnny Unser's 9th place finish at the 1996 IRL race.

Racin Gardner made his IndyCar debut at the 1996 Test in the West at Phoenix after competing in the American IndyCar Series for a couple years. The training evidently paid off as he qualified and raced in the 1996 Indy 500, his first and last IndyCar race!

Rick DeLorto at the 1996 Test in the West at Phoenix. He was there to take the USAC driver's test but did not complete it, leaving his fastest lap at only 119.008 mph.

Here's John Paul Jr. at the 1996 Test in the West at Phoenix. Still carrying an ex-Menard livery, this '93 Lola-Menard set a fast lap of 178.041 mph which is still faster than all the Indy cars testing at Phoenix so far this week.
