The IndyCar "pass" is named as such because that's what I'm gonna do to the idea of spending $50 on content they used to provide for free.

I wasn't referring to YouTube. NBC used to put all this kind of content on the NBC Sports app. Maybe that wasn't the case with IndyCar, but with the other sports they covered you had access to everything if you had access to a cable account. Now you have to pay for cable or YouTube TV or something to get NBC, NBC Sports, CNBC, etc. content, then pay a second subscription for the stuff they've decided to lock behind a paywall. I very much consider this to be going backwards. The better example is the Premier League. NBC would air one or two games at a time on TV, and everything else would be free on NBC Sports Live Extra. All of those free games are now behind a paywall, and if you want to watch every game you have to pay for two services. There is no one service that covers it all. It is extremely, intensely stupid.

It's fine if you only really care about IndyCar, I guess. If you watch a lot of sports and a lot of TV, these companies are now pricing streaming services to the point where it costs 2-3 times as much as it did with cable. There's no way anyone can afford all this poo poo.

JingleBells posted:But it was already on a pay TV channel; BT Sport had it. Sky had the rights only about 5 years ago anyway - they'll still probably have the US feed, back then when you had ads they'd cut to the studio, but BT generally showed the raw footage with two UK presenters talking over it - generally asking viewers questions. Thanks, I could've sworn it was on a free to air channel before.

Wirth1000 posted:IndyCar coverage surprises me not because of the commercials. That's expected... it's an American sport in America run by the worst people to ever run anything: Americans. ABC had these little clips they'd always cut to before and after commercials where the drivers were just like hanging out in abandoned warehouses wearing tuxedos. It always drove me loving insane. Why are you spending time and money shooting these clips when you are not making money from it? When you're just taking 30 seconds of the race away from the viewer? It's totally bizarre.

I really like the idea of saying "we don't want to arbitrarily police track limits so we're just not gonna." If you're going to pave a runoff area the size of Mars you could at least make it super abrasive like Paul Ricard.

COTA is a good track. Compared to most of the F1 calendar it's really good. Compared to most of the IndyCar calendar it's just fine, but still good.

WindyMan posted:COTA is a bad track because so much of its design was literally lifted from other, more famous and better circuits. It's literally a Frankentrack. There is hardly any originality in new track designs anymore; it's just lean one or two novel and unique features and then just copypasta in bits from everywhere else. Yes but they have taken good sections from bad tracks (Silverstone) and ones that no longer host meaningful races (Istanbul Park) and put them together in a good track that I can watch like three or four times a year.

Somehow you've managed to be objectively wrong about a subjective matter, I don't know how you even do that. Fuji Speedway still exists dude.
