We just need more big names to join up for one-offs instead of all the recent ex-Indycar drivers that no longer have full time rides. Jay Howard, Servia, Chaves, Karam (though he could be a contender), Mann *yawn*

The other rookies Jack Harvey, Ed Jones and Zach Veach don't exactly get my excitement levels up either.

Only Montoya and Alonso are the interesting one-offs.
Ah, but when it was a round of the WDC they did not have to drive cars to FIA regs, points were scored for driver's result. Effectively if a driver did both F1 and Indy he used appropriate cars. I don"t ever recall it being a factor in who won the WDC however.

Taking the principle further could be interesting, allow points from say Le Mans or other major races
