I think they were getting free engines, but Honda ended that. David Malshers article implies Coyne will still be running Honda engines.

IMSA's 2020 schedule runs May 1-3rd at Mid Ohio, and May 29-30th at Belle Isle, so it's at least mathematically possible for Bourdais to run the 500. He's one of my favorites and this news is pretty disappointing, especially after what happened to Hinchcliffe.

Bourdais and Barbosa could be a potent combo if JDC can provide solid engineering and mechanical backing (they were a little iffy last year)

Not necessarily! They could do it for IMSA instead.

Just that he was uncomfortable after his big wreck and was visibly/audibly spooked when they started trimming out at Indy the last few years. Also was really unhappy at Pocono basically all of the time, and said some stuff about how he would be ok with no super speedways at all.

He never really loved the ovals, and I think his wreck and losing Justin and stuff, that turned to real dislike.

Sad to see Seabass go, but he's getting up toward "time for sports cars" age regardless, so it's not like many years are getting cut from his open wheel career.

Hinch is absolutely winding up in Bourdais' old seat, isn't he

ugh. such a strange trade-off there. glad it kind of shores up the JDC Cadillac for IMSA, since the DPi car count is looking a bit slim, but of the people leaving IndyCar this year I absolutely didn't think Seb was one of them.

[edit] if Ganassi finds a way to get a sports car program together I would imagine Seb gets a look there, or with the Peugeot team in a couple years for WEC. Or for IndyCar on a road course-only role in the future? Hm.

Looks like Laguna Seca's having some issues with corruption. I hope they don't gently caress things up for the track, the race there this last year was dope.

This is McLaren's fault somehow.

The Bourdais thing, not the Laguna Seca thing. ...well, maybe that too, who knows?

Edit: If Honda yanked the free engines to pressure Coyne to put Hinch in the seat then it actually is McLaren's fault, lol

I'm 100% convinced Bourdais said something bad about Trump or something like "I support the impeachment hearings" in earshot of Dale and/or Santino and it got him fired.
