I’m disappointed as an Indy Car fan that its leadership is seemingly asleep at the wheel… Despite Indy Car having the best on track racing, it continuously lags behind other racing leagues. F1 has expanded it’s presence in the US with very high profile races in Miami and Las Vegas, Nascar lands Mexico City a city of over 20 million people, all the while Indy Car does nothing of significance. Everyone was so excited when RP took over but he lacks the vision (and energy) for the future of Indy Car. He’s too stuck in days gone by like so many others in the sport. We need someone driving the bus who has fresh ideas (and a big bank roll) and is not afraid to try them so the sport can grow.
That’s why Tony George sold everything to a steady hand like Penske … instead of someone like Liberty Media (who also owns F1) who might have changed things too much.
There’s an analogy there for Hoosiers everywhere.
Not to mention Nascar’s securing of the race in Chicago (a road race nonetheless??) which has become very popular despite the bad weather its experienced. I was screaming for an indycar race along the lakefront there for years but nobody heard me (LOL). They did get Nashville street race but the course layout was terrible. Hopefully changes are in store to make it better.
Indycar had races in Mexico in the past. Nobody asks if those were successful and why they didn’t return. Just because NASCAR went there doesn’t mean Indy Car needs to follow. The time will come when O’Ward moves on to F1 and then will it make sense to go to Mexico based on one driver? There are many European drivers in Indy Car, but no one is asking for them to race in England or Sweden. Races should be located where there is long term potential; not just wherever the shiny object of the moment is from.
If Pato was going to F1, he would have by now. He’s had tests and nothing came of them for a reason.
Mexico makes sense if it’s a race early in the spring when IndyCar’s schedule faces a paucity of scheduling options.
Yes, It appears Indycar is having trouble moving to the next level….There should be street racing in Metro-NYC, Chicago, LA and races in Mexico, Brazil and Surfer’s Paradise. Instead, still doing double weekends to get to a decent event count.
I say Mr Penske has brought much needed attention to oval racing at Iowa, St Louis, Chicago and now Milwaukee. Those tracks have brought Indycar more excitement than any street racing in NY, Chicago or Brazil. We race fans owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Penske, Mark Miles and Doug Boles.
