INDYCAR 2024

THese lads are hopeless. Don't think we have had a full green lap yet

At least the non-cheat and most likeable in the Penske trio got a long overdue win. I feel Will has another championship in him this season

I'm sure Chip Ganassi will want to smack Armstrong over the head for that first corner disaster ruining Lundqvist's pole he will be blacked marked by Chip for that

Happy for Jamie to get that dominant win from pole it will quiet some of her sceptics, I still think she has alot of work to do and consistency to achieve before she can be considered ready for an Indycar shot but she has got a bit closer to that after this weekend

US Indycar fans are definitely not happy with NBC losing rights to FOX who's NASCAR coverage is not liked but you can see why Penske grabbed the increased cash with all 17 races live on the network as someone has to pay the increased bills for the teams with those new hybrids

That's a disaster for me as I have both Peacock and Sky Sports subscriptions. You would be hopeful the UK rights will remain with Sky with a bigger audience reach on their F1 channel rather than buried away in TNT as FOX have no skin in TNT Sports/Warner Bros Discovery, Sky still could do with studio coverage for all races like they had back in 00's/early 10's

It's mad, Alex Palou sure dodged a bullet!

If you thought that team couldn't get any more ruthless with drivers then Zak Brown says gotcha!

So that's now Hinchcliffe, Askew, Malukas, Pourchaire all brutally sacked, Rosenqvist treated fairly shabbily aswell in 2022 and last but not least suing Alex Palou when they knew all along Ganassi had first option

One of the Indycar journalists suggested Arrow are pulling their title sponsorship of the team and Siegal's Dad's company Menlo Ventures has written a cheque to secure the seat. Siegel is young talented and won at Le Mans this weekend in LPM2 for Brown's team but there is no evidence yet on his Indy NXT form and few Indycar appearances this season that he is anywhere ready for the demands of that Arrow McLaren seat where their bar is to beat Penske/Ganassi unless money reduces the pressure Siegel will be under from Zak Brown

I'm not seeing how they can hire Pourchaire an F2 champion at a higher level than Indy NXT over Siegel who is only slightly over year younger and then go and dump Pourchaire so quickly who was performing well unless there is some bag of cash involved. Well known McLaren are moving into Andretti's current facility next season and have had ambitions of expanding to 4 cars if Arrow are bailing it would make alot of sense to have that young development driver in the 4th car bringing full funding all teams maybe with exception of Penske have hired drivers bringing money to fund extra cars sponsorship is not easy in that series

Dixon out on formation lap

Ah feck, it's unlikely I'll see the first one 😴
