Team Scandia

Team Scandia was a team in the Indy Racing League owned by Andy Evans that fielded a record 7 cars in the 1996 Indianapolis 500. Evans bought the team from Dick Simon during the 1996 season and Simon was listed as the owners of some of Scandia's cars in the 1996 "500". The team tried to achieve a similar feat with five cars in the 1997 Indy 500, but with higher expenses brought by new chassis, the venture was less successful. Later that season, the team captured its only IRL victory with a car driven by Eliseo Salazar at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The team shut down in 1999 due to lack of sponsorship after scaling back heavily from 1998 onwards.

gollark: Or "what do we do when an anarchocommune™️ (or whatever?) does bad things".
gollark: But ones like "HOW DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE ALL THE GOODS AND SERVICES GO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" seem bigger.
gollark: Well, sure.
gollark: The problems I think are problematic are mostly stuff like "intellectual property is somewhat weird and broken", "pricing of some goods (housing, mostly) is weird too", "education frequently doesn't work as well as it should", "there are big technology/surveillance monopolies which are not good", and "government decision-making is pretty poor".
gollark: Blame it for not redirecting to HTTPS like my *cool* website.
