      As a American I am so embarrassed by Indy car.
      From the dogsh*t race announcers of Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliff to the quality of the racing on track.
      It's downright boring.
      INDY car has to prioritize specific teams or manufacturer's ability to individually upgrade at least 1 part of the car to attempt to get an edge.
      It has to be more like F1.

    Lots of aggression on the restarts was a problem - but I think the new pavement in combo with where they are released to "green" needs to be addressed. Either the green needs to be taken closer to the flag stand or they need to move it back further from the final corner to separate the field more. As it was - it was too easy to dive bomb that last corner once it was green and it cause multiple stack ups. Something IndyCar and Laguna Seca need to look at for 2024.

    I really really really think you should do at least one comedy review about a race here in Argentina. I recomend either Turismo Nacional (small hatches and sedans driven by maniacs) or Turismo Carretera (the most popular category here).

      Indycar ends the season early so they don't compete with the NFL. Motorsport TV ratings here in the states usually plummet big time once football season gets going.

      F1 averages about 32 overtakes a race, so if F1 had 186 overtakes at Zandoort, imagine if Indycar ran there. Indycar averages more than twice the overtakes on a road course because the racing is way closer. There were 264 overtakes for position yesterday at Laguna Seca and that’s a road course. And there’s usually only 1 or 2 lead changes in F1 per race, especially this year. Yesterdays Indycar race alone at had 6 lead changes amongst 6 different drivers, and that’s just one race. You don’t see that in F1.
