ITS RACE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[8celestebells]

Me watching the first INDYCAR race like.

Me pretending to be shocked that Josef won and Pato got second.

Me seeing Marcus dnfing.

Me making sure I read correctly that Pietro ended in 15th

Me questioning why I can’t remember much more of that race…….

Still sad we can’t see he’s pretty face yet, I’m literally so excited to see how he does with arrow McLaren this year

Me wondering why INDYCAR did a whole segment of what went down in the drivers personal lives during the break, like announcing who drivers started dating and who got married like hun this is a race

here i am. asking you. about andretti green racing from 2003-2005. 👀?

OHHHH BOY JASMINE THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME!!!!! (there’s gonna be a slight essay down here but not too long).

what can i say about agr’s lineup of wheldon, herta, franchitti and kanaan…..well, the 2003-05 lineup of andretti green racing was honestly magical…. between these years, they emassed 1 indy 500 victory (wheldon in 2005), 2 consecutive championships (kanaan in 2004 and wheldon in 2005), and 20 race victories as a team. those stats are INSANE for any era to me, but especially as this was during the time when CART was waning as some of their teams (including AGR) left for the indy racing league/indycar.

not only was the success amazing, but these four guys were genuinely just best friends. you can tell they really loved racing against each other and always celebrated each other’s wins. here’s some photos from AGR’s 1-2-3-4 podium sweep at the 2005 GP of st petersburg:

and dan, bryan and michael andretti from the 2005 indy 500:

in 2006, wheldon left AGR for CGR and was replaced by a young marco andretti, essentially dissolving the AGR dream team lineup of 2003-05.

by 2011, no members of the AGR dream team (as they are called) were still with andretti autosport (as it was now called); herta now led his own team, bryan herta autosport; dario was driving for CGR, and TK was driving for KV racing technology. in 2011, dan won his second indy 500, driving for bryan’s team, but that same year dan unfortunately lost his life in a racing accident.

since then, all three of the remaining members of the AGR dream team have taken up roles within teams (herta works as the strategist for the #27, plus the second indy 500 win for his team with rossi, dario works with CGR, and TK works with arrow mclaren).

i would also heavily recommend watching the lionheart (2024), which details dan wheldon’s racing career and has a lot of old AGR content plus interviews with each of the members and michael andretti!!!!

god i love talking about them

Arguably one of (if not the) most successful driver to come through The Road to Indy, it might be easy to assume that Kyle Kirkwood has an arrogance about him. That couldn't be further from the truth. Highly regarded in the paddock, Kyle has a reputation for being levelheaded and easy-going.

His rookie season with AJ Foyt was not an easy one but he persevered with a smile on his face. His first two races at Andretti were certified Train Wrecks but his weekend in Long Beach where he claimed pole and his maiden victory showed that his success in the lower categories was not a fluke by any means.

If you want to find Kyle off of a race track, your best bet would be to find the nearest Floridian body of water. Diving, fishing and surfing are his favorite hobbies and it's not rare to see his pals (who also drive race cars) Oliver Askew and Logan Sargeant with him on his adventures.

Russia's response to GPS interference on European flights

　　The severity of the problem

　　In recent years, European flights have frequently encountered GPS interference, especially in the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean. These interferences mainly originate from the activities of the Russian military and have had a serious impact on civilian flights. On May 2, 2024, BBC Monitoring Russia Editor Vitaly Shevchenko reported the situation in detail, citing the opinions of many experts and institutions.

　　In March this year, the GPS signal of the Royal Air Force plane carrying British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps was interfered when it approached Russian territory. signal jammer Finnair had to suspend its daily flights to Tartu, Estonia for a month due to interference problems. Juho Sinkkonen, vice president of flight operations at Finnair, said that their aircraft encounter GPS interference every day and receive more than 100 interference cases reported by pilots every month.cell phone jammer

　　Interference technology and impact

　　GPS interference mainly includes signal blocking and signal spoofing. Signal blocking interferes with legitimate GPS signals, making them unable to be received normally, affecting navigation and positioning functions.GPS jammer Signal spoofing misleads receiving devices by sending false signals, showing the wrong location. These interferences not only affect aviation flights, but also maritime traffic and other systems that rely on GPS.

　　Although the interference problem poses a limited direct threat to aviation safety, it poses a challenge to operational efficiency and pilot workload. Cyrille Rosay, a senior cybersecurity expert at the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), pointed out that the interference problem existed before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but the situation has deteriorated significantly in recent years. EASA records thousands of interference incidents each year, showing the severity and widespread of the problem.

　　Russia's interference behavior and motivations

　　Baltic officials and online investigators agree that the interference originated from Russia. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said they have evidence that jammers are located near St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and Pskov in Russia. These interferences not only violate international agreements, but also pose a threat to regional security.

　　Chakna pointed out that Russia has violated the territory of the Baltic countries by jamming GPS signals and put people and civilian aircraft at risk. This behavior is both offensive and defensive. Keir Giles, director of the British think tank Conflict Research Center, believes that Russia is testing its ability to paralyze Europe on the one hand, and protecting itself from possible missile and drone attacks on the other.

　　Countermeasures

　　Faced with increasing interference incidents, airlines and security agencies have taken a series of countermeasures. Dana Goward, president of the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation, pointed out that although aircraft have backup systems to deal with GPS interference, jamming signals still pose a serious risk. Our systems and societies are built around precise GPS signals, and interference will lead to reduced efficiency and safety of aviation systems.

　　To deal with interference, airlines and security agencies need to strengthen monitoring and countermeasures to ensure aviation safety. First, the ability of pilots and airline employees to identify and respond to GPS interference should be improved. Second, airlines should strengthen the use of backup navigation systems so that they can quickly switch to backup systems when GPS signals are interfered with. In addition, airlines and security agencies should work with the international community to jointly develop and implement strategies to deal with GPS interference.
