St Pete will probably suck again but thankfully we'll have an oval to talk about just a week later
>>153661274looks like it compromises the safety provided by the helmet
>>153662644Good fuck safety
>>153662644other series run it but i see your concern
Who's going to a race (or races) this year?

They keep sending me emails for Laguna Seca but I'm willing to bet the championship will be wrapped up before they even get to Laguna Seca. I wish they kept it in middle of the summer instead of last race of the season
>>153668236Good stuff, Rasmussen has their attention. Happy to know the drivers wont bite on the playoffs. >Should INDYCAR consider any other championship format other than full-season points system?>Which new venue are you looking forward to the most?(Washington, D.C. was not announced at the time of this question)>How many races will new Andretti Global driver Will Power win this year?>Which series driver do you trust the most racing side-by-side?DixonRasmussenRosenqvist>Which series driver do you trust the least racing side-by-side?NewgardenGrosjeanFerrucci>Which driver, when you pass him, gives you a feeling of accomplishment?Siegel
>153668444Im seeing NXT as a support race but done know if anyone else is slotting in that weekend. I have a feeling its Palou but its an 18 race season who knows what changeshttps://feederseries.net/2026/02/24/indy-nxt-2026-season-guide/

>Buxtons pre-season power rankings no Newgarden...
>>153672495Write him a letter. See if you can convince him to return
>>153673669He already told everyone that all of his time now is focused on the job and plap his wife at home.I think mostly because Zac and the higher ups wants more focus now that the indy team really put huge results besides the shitshow that was the season as the F1 team.It sucks that no one outside here will never hear the story of senna and the Kart championship at his farm prior to his death, where he pulled a ballestre because tony won the pole and sent him to the back by inverting the grid, and said later that "This is a democracy and i rule this shit", only for him to go all the way back to the pole and beat senna.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_7j3Rr2CFBw
>>153673826>only for him to go all the way back to the pole and beat senna.thats a cool story so he's been fast his entire life. it all makes sense>think mostly because Zac and the higher ups wants more focus now that the indy team really put huge results besides the shitshow that was the season as the F1 team.RHR runs it this year, Tony next year. One can wish lol
>>153673644>silly season hot seats>Dixon he stays.>Newgarden he could walk.>Siegel Needs a top 10 points finish, and win to stay>Lundgaard Needs a top 6 points finish to stay>Ericsson Needs a top 10 points finish to stay, or a 500 win>Rosenqvist Needs a top 6 points finish to stay. Armstrong needs to perform at an equal level>Rasmussen Would you leave ECR's #1 car to be Arrow or Penskes #3 car? He is too "aggressive" to be a Penske driver, maybe Arrow. ECR is building a strong program >VeeKay Future Penske driver>SchumacherWill he be that much better on road courses? One and done.>Linus Lundqvist He will be in a chevy or honda that much is known
Which of the 3 new street courses will deliver better racing, Markham, Arlington or DC? Based on sim footage alone, I'll go with Markham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=273jlFLD8Xkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbXt7syQ5CI
>>153675421Theyre both really zippy. Markham >Markham2.19-mile. No laps shown yet
>>153675421Hit send early but Markham doesnt have race length announced yet. Its slighty shorter than Arlingtong, 100 laps would be wild. Both tracks are going to be great>Arlington2.73-mile, 70 laps
>>153661161The new ad FUCKShttps://x.com/IndyCar/status/2027051278161850380
Pato confirms what it's been speculated before, someone at OCESA doesn't want to risk having another failure like NASCAR at Mexico. I wonder if the race could've been secured if by some miracle Fox had bought those Indy stakes earlier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTWoh0FrGVY&t=730s>>153675658I think that 100 laps would be too much. 80 seems just right.

>>153678171>fastest 5 have biblical namesTruly, God speed them.
>>153678171Rigged by antipoodeans evidently
>>153677483>I think that 100 laps would be too much. 80 seems just right.Time to see what these tires have got and to be bold lol. Here are the laps ran on street and road courses last year. >Detroit - S1.645 mi - 100 laps>St Pete - S>1.800 mi - 100 lapsLong Beach - S1.968mi - 90 laps>Toronto - S>1.786 mi - 90 lapsThermal X3.067 mi - 65 laps>Portland>1.964 mi - 110Laguna2.238 mi - 95 laps>Mid Ohio>2.258 mi - 90 lapsBarber 2.38 mi - 90 laps>IMS Road Course>2.439mi - 85 lapsRoad America 4.014 mi - 55 laps
>>153678171scott riggs'em
>>153677483>I wonder if the race could've been secured if by some miracle Fox had bought those Indy stakes earlier.We will see what they have planned after DC. They have set the expectation of 18 races, and the east coast is calling for a race. Toss in a Mexico and The Glen, that gets the schedule to 19. >O'Ward mindfuckhe needs to win a championship. itll break him if he doesnt lol
>>153676515fuck ya!>drivers with on boards St. Pete
>>153678812damn six drivers eyes
>>153676515I appreciate the marketing Fox does but every time I see that tagline I wish there was another speedway on the calendar instead of so many street races
>>153678895four of those six should be hovering around the top 10. Curious to see if they give Rasmussen one for ovals this year. They got the field covered besides DCR
>>153679004Give it a couple more years of steady growth (as theyve been doing), and the new car safety, along with tracks making upgrades. We will see it. Michigan needs Indycars running on it

>>153685166>I'll allow it You are truly a magnanimous faggot.
>>153685176Only if Robb runs out of money or Connor somehow comes up with a lot more
>>153685187>lurks the thread to hate threadyoure firing on all cylinder today buster
>>153685228what if Robb looks like he will fall behind the Leader's Circle cutoff? that's a lot of money too.
>>153683616>Daly will serve as a Brand Ambassador for ARCO and ampm>strengthening fan engagement his funding tossed on the other two cars. *smack*
>>153685228he triggered something in his contract, they tried to dump him, i believe he stays put. I could be wrong
>>153685275Well it ultimately depends on what's in the contract. There might be stipulations like that which could offer an "out" for JHR, but it's impossible for any of us to know. My guess is that they would have to cough up a ton of money to the Robb family to replace him unless there's some kind of legit "cause". And JHR doesn't have that money, so Conor would need to bring it, and that probably ain't happening.>>153685311Exactly. They don't really want him, but he brings in too much money, and they'd probably have to pay a penalty to dump him, and they can't afford it.
>>153685275he placed 25th last year, and with two less Prema cars.. Im not saying he will but theres a way he makes the cut lol. Im rooting for Ray Sting Robb
>>153685322agreed, too much money to swing it. the palou/mclaren lawsuit set the market price for breaking a contract. if they dumped SRR (lesss than the mclaren suit) it would make you question why the money wasnt spent to "improve" the car, and choosing a paid seat etc.

>>153689063>>153689081>seems to me that the reds are now the real "primary", eh?McLaughlin thinks it'll be a red race. Im curious to see how teams run their fresh tires versus scuffed.

>>153690001talking about the weather and bitches
Power just crashed. Chance Power isnt qualifying. They have time but thats a lot
Podcaster Rossi is fucking moving.
>>153690129
>>153690136maybe the podcasting has motivated his ego to win. Qualifying is going to be a mess lol
is this the year our boy ed carpenter gets the win at indy?
another crash>crashmussen
>>153690236>is this the year our boy ed carpenter gets the win at indy?I can feel it building. They have the fastest Chevys outside of Penske. McLaren with O'Ward will be up there. Theyre coming aggressive :) >>153690238
What are the expectations for this year for my boy Rinus?
Random Dolphin out of nowhere
>>153690372driving himself into a top seat, or bridging a technical alliance. I wont be shocked if he gets a win, and a couple podiums. The car was fast on ovals, and Veekay is better on street/road courses than Daly. Top 15 at least, if they are as fast as they seem, they could bump a couple others out.
>>153690439you think the dolphins are team penske
>oh look a ladybug (mid interview with o'ward)good luck incoming
>Pau No Cu Bank
jpm would drive circles around these jobbers
>>153690449So roughly the same as last year on street courses and a lot better on ovals?
>>153690845I think he matches the ovals, and improves the street courses for JHR (could get a win on an oval or street/road course. He is always strong in the 500.
are there pirate livestreams for latinocels to watch?

>>153694331He can still win any oval including the 500 so I'm not sure
why isnt ace working on my machine?
Foster!!!!
>>153694371maybe laliga blocking DNSs?
>>153694399fuck tebas
>>153690372PAINHe'll outperform his equipment as usual, but JHR street package has always been trash and they'll never be able to win on an oval as long as their pitcrew don't get their shit together.
STINGRAY P3

bruh Hauger is fast
>>153694976He was so dominant in nxt but it's hard to predict what that would mean in the big league
I have a bad feeling that this could be Dixon's last season. I hope I'm wrong.

drivers react to qualifying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkTg3NKOOhI
>>153694284ViaPlay according to the Indy website.
>Five sets primary (black), five sets alternate (red)Tires used during qualifying attached and has some interesting stuff:>Grosjean & Malukas set their fastest laps on scuffed reds>Ericsson & McLaughlin started on scuffed tires, but finished on fresh ones>O'Ward, Dixon, Sting Ray Robb & Newgarden tinkered with scuffed tires during qualifying.Could be something to key off on for strategy. The red could have a little more life as a scuff, on a rubbered down track (Grosjean and Malukas using them for their fastest laps), even if its minimal. Compare that to how the field qualified last year with the soft tire >>153661428 along with the race, and some drivers using the scuffs >>153661433 and we are in for a wild race. I really think McLaren tries something funky

Happy Birthday Will Power!
Happy belated Birthday Mario Andretti! He turned 86 yesterday.
>>153696188I don't remember there being many comments for highlights before, but it seems plenty of people are giving Indy a chance because of what's happening to F1, or to follow Mick .
>>153700999>it seems plenty of people are giving Indy a chance because of what's happening to F1, or to follow Mickim excited to see how this whole month of racing unfolds, and leads into April/May. We will have plenty to talk about, and will hear from Prema lmao. Theyll cover one of the weeks in April >I don't remember there being many comments for highlights beforetheyve been posting highlights for years, usually getting 50-80k views, but they recently the past couple years started posting the condensed qualifying as well. Its a great move to get more people with all kinds of schedules viewing it.

>>153701100check tis >>153692004
>>153701077Geez, I'm old enough to remember Dale showing up race after race at the back of the field with a stock block Chevy engine. Forty friggin' years ago.
>>153701420you both are dedicated to the sport! https://www.dalecoyneracing.com/a-look-back-at-dcr
give it to me straight no chaser. will it be another PWL no overtakes the series slurp year? Or should I go home and watch the race? I heard my boy Slowjean is back.
>>153700999>>153701077Fox has been going pretty hard with the IndyCar commercials and putting them all over normie sports, so I would guess that's helping to at least remind older fans that IndyCar is still a thing.
>>153701972if you have the time its worth watching live, there should be some movement in the field. Further tire strategy in play. If you dont have the time, there will be a condensed race, highlights later with the full race later in the week
>>153701972It may be a PWL, but certainly won't be a no overtakes race.
>>153701972I'm prepared for PLW, but who knows. I'm glad to have Grosjean back and he's right behind Palou on the starting grid, so maybe he will do us all a favor on L1 T1.
>>153697380if it is the same 2 retards from /pw/
>>153702022>Fox has been going pretty hard with the IndyCar commercialsfull power on the commercials
>>153702450They know their ASSCAR contract is at the end
>>153702519thats even better news for Indy. They have a lot of room to add more to the weekends. That new independent Indy board:>IndyCar Officiating Inc.has Ray Evernham on it. He is has a fleet of IROC cars doing a couple events this year. We could be working towards a classics support race, along with more IMSA. With FOX bringing back SPEED (the idea of it), and having a lot of other motorsports, they could go after other series to rope in.
>>153701100good job poland, a podiumalso we're all in here for the races: >>153701347
>>153702644Good Lord the future is bright. Can you imagine an expanded schedule? 22 races? More eventually? Fox has a lot of partners that could fill in as title sponsors.
>>153702777Yea Kucharczyk is pretty good. He is our best chance at f1 driver. Even if that doesn't happen, maybe he gets in proper Indy. Might be best for him seeing the state of F1 at the moment. https://youtu.be/ChSIqUNdirI?t=73
>>153702822I see a lot of opportunity in a couple years. I locked some in, and kept it March to September. If they are willing to go international in February, I could see it getting to 22 that way. They could obviously mess with other dates but Barber needs to be before football in Alabama, and Long Beach has to hit around spring break.

>>153709216I'm just trying to be helpful. You are the one who has dug your own hole.
Just bought my tickets for Barber at the end of the month. First time going and the consensus says the back straight is the best place to watch.I want to take some photos and it seems I can get some high angle shots from there. Anyone got any good places or tips they can share? I'm only going Sunday so I won't have much time to explore.

>>153709291Imagine Palou not staying at CGR… Dixon would have 65+ wins. Maybe 8 titles>he stays until he can get a winMalukas and Newgarden worked their way through the field today. I’m sure Dixon would’ve done well, but which race this year do you think is his best shot for a win? Personally I think it’ll have to be one of the new tracks.. Any track Palou doesn’t know is an opportunity.
>>153710212Have you been to the museum? That looks to be worth its own day. I have not been to Barber, and if no one else answers, maybe drop Barber an email, or give a quick call. That pedestrian bridge looks like a must see spot for photos
