Welcome to the NTT IndyCar Series 2020 Thread! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8koH3rIqQo The second biggest news this year besides Penske buying Indycar/IMS is the aeroscreen, hopefully will save some lives! Discord/IRC Discord: https://discord.gg/kg3d2Uu #ics on irc.synirc.net The Road to Indy IndyCar features the Road to Indy ladder system, which provides a defined path for up-and-coming open-wheel racers to reach the top. Several IndyCar teams run teams in the lower series as well. Many of these series race on the same weekend as IndyCar as support races. - IndyCar Minor Leagues, many of the current IndyCar drivers are Indy Lights graduates. - Bottom rung of the ladder, usually first step after pro-karting. USAC Silver Crown / Midgets - While not officially part of the Road to Indy Ladder, many current and former open wheel drivers got their start in sprint cars. News and Blogs don't bother who cares twitter is terrible but it's not hard to find drivers/teams For money (full price is $55/year) you can pay for the NBC Sports Gold INDYCAR Pass. You get live streaming of all practice sessions and qualifying with no commercials. Races are on-demand only. Road To Indy Viewing Options

Hell yeah ground floor In actual posting, Austin has banned all events with a crowd more than 2,500 people for the foreseeable future. I wonder how that'll affect the COTA race

Bring on the new season! I will be very interested to see how Scott Mclaughlin performs this year in the few races he is taking part in. Hoping for a better season from Will Power this year too, but I think he might be past it when compared to his other teammates. Also still patiently waiting on IndyCar returning to Australia for a race.

Interesting article on Ganassi's big reorg. I love the part where Mike Cannon comes in and says "we replaced every bolt on the car with specially made titanium at Dale fuckin Coyne Racing, so what are you guys doing?" https://racer.com/2020/03/09/dixon-energized-by-ganassis-off-season-shake-up/

Jack Arute and AJ Allmendinger are going to host a dedicated IndyCar show on SXM IndyCar Radio. Details are coming tomorrow, I guess. Arute is the best racing host on SXM and it's not even close. devmd01 posted:as tragic as a horrific pileup and crash of all of them would be, it’d probably be a net gain for the world in the end Ten less influencers?

Conor gonna run the road courses for Ed in the 20, Indy for Ed in a third car, and the rest of the ovals for Carlin in the 59. Weird year for him. https://twitter.com/ConorDaly22/status/1237403612646641664

I suspect at least a little of that is Ed not worrying too much about what Conor can do in a Carlin car in the ovals after Indy.

Hell yeah, Nasr in the #31 for St Pete at least. Keeps the Brazilian streak alive, and adds another champion to the field. Really excited to see what he can do. https://twitter.com/RACERmag/status/1237429820067209216

I've been so loving hyped for this season that if they start canceling Indycar races I'm probably gonna lose my poo poo and end up a drunken mess playing racing board games like Formula De alone every Sunday. I'm working at a blood bank nowadays, and the volume of cancelled drives amid virus concerns such as large companies and schools not wanting ANY outside personnel coming onto the property (including our phlebotomists), as well as outright closing up shop and telling people to work/learn from home if possible has seen our inventory levels plummet this week. Now's not a good time to need a transfusion, bros. They're going to start parking the mobile donor buses outside of well trafficked areas and yelling HAY ARE YOU SICK? NO?! COME DONATE! at people.
