IndyCar 1 week agoBelle Isle, Long Beach, Sao Paulo, St. Petersburg, all have been packed so far but look at what happened here. Same as last season, once they hit the ovals…it’s half empty grandstands again.
Texas has […]

IndyCar 1 month, 2 weeks agoNot my favourite, either – mostly down the the atrocious broadcast production though. There were battles all the way through the top 10 last year in the early laps, but the director decided over and over to cut […]

Have to take issue with this. Worst, most amateur racing? Did you see how much carbon fibre lay on the track after the first few laps at China? These guys in Indycar make four or five flying starts per race, […]

IndyCar 2 months, 1 week agoLooking forward to this one, it was a cracking race last year and the coverage was good enough to catch the action throughout the entire field. Bourdais was sublime despite the woeful Lotus powerplant, hoping he […]

Re: Emmo – I always loved that Toleman TG183B. Rory Byrne at his pottiest – two rear wings, ground-effect bodywork under the front wing, radiators within the front wing…it makes anything on the grid in the past […]

KV looking strong in practice, both Kanaan & de Silvestro mixing it with the big teams. Sato & new man Vautier also consistently quick. St. Pete’s a tough course to pass on, but if they keep it clean through the […]

My comment was directed primarily at US F1 coverage, and how F1 is treated by broadcasters. I spend a fair bit of time in the UK, so I have some idea of how good intelligent, knowledgeable commentary can be […]

I recall vividly Jackie Stewart commentating on the Indy 500 in the early eighties explaining with the visual aid of a toy car what understeer and oversteer was. We still hear that same explanation on every F1 […]

12 minutes late due to the late ending of a college basketball game, and blink-and-you’ll miss it footage from winter testing.
Oh dear.
That is what worries me the most about NBCSN taking over the broadcast […]

F1 3 months, 2 weeks agoWell, that’s something at least. Thanks for the heads-up, aka_robyn. I’m encouraged by the number of repeats that NBC is putting up, particularly during the day. Looking at Diffey’s tweets, it appears […]

Great pics – always nice to see the gorgeous 98T. That’s not an Arrows A2 though Keith, it looks like an A3. The A2 was the thoroughly unsuccessful Buzz-bomb wing car.
