RLL were so slow at Nashville that even the FBI had to investigate

[schweckles]

We got an FBI raid on RLL headquarters before GTA VI.

Rossi getting signed by RLL then the team getting shuttered by the FBI shortly after would be THE most Rossi luck possible.

Everybody assumes this is an Indycar thing. Both of these teams have IMSA GTP teams, those cars carry substantially more trade secrets than the damper package on an Indycar.

I'm not saying this to disparage Indycar (I'm a diehard, I don't actually enjoy sports cars), but that would seem more logical to me, that it's IMSA GTP secrets that have been stolen.

Damn I thought Diddy somehow gotten into Indycar lol

Andretti got Congress involved with the F1 fiasco. Now they got the FBI involved with this. Andretti isn’t pulling any punches.

The Hoosier Dome wasn’t paid off until 2020. It opened in 1984 and was demolished in December 2008. It took an additional 13 years after the building was gone to be paid in full. Maybe the FBI can investigate that theft of taxpayer funds while they’re in town.

If Rahal is as fast as they've been (not) with stolen parts, I'd hate to see where they'd run without them.

Of all the ways to kick off the Indycar offseason this was certainly one of them

[DaleMeese]

The only way the FBI would get involved is if someone from the team complained at a school board meeting.

Also that Andretti guy had to have been giving RLL fake info because it did not help lmao...

[bigjon]

So basically, it's what happened between Ferrari and McLaren in F1 back in like 2008 or 2009

[bkbaughn]

I've never seen or hear about so many FBI raids than I have in the last few years....

[bdavisfan]

The only time I can think of the FBI raiding something related to racing was the whole DC Solar thing. It didn't involve Chip Ganassi but it did have a ripple effect on his Xfinity team and basically lost Ross Chastain a ride. This is a whole other level when it involves a race team itself.

[wallysmith]

If that employee took Andretti secrets it sure didn't work. Rahal was awful on the track unfortunately

David. The IP did not have to do with the car at all, it very well might have been IP relating to the support equipment, such as timing stand electronics, software or algorithms to help with strategy, or tools, test hardware or software, or shop equipment. Anything that the team develops that is not public knowledge is considered IP.

ain't no sunshine when Indy's gone, and it's always gone too long every time it goes away

[inglewoodwhb]

Based on Graham's constant "the car just won't pull" comments after every qualifying, it's clear they didn't steal any gearbox setups.

[tylerensminger]

Who would have thought this year couldn't get any crazier. Wow is all that I can say

[wilburshaw]

Is it a crime to impersonate a Racing Team? Maybe that’s it…..
