I watched both CART and IRL through the 90s and 2000s, and even attended a CART race (that's relatively rare for a Brit!), but I just can't watch the new IndyCar. It doesn't feel like IndyCar to me, at all.

I don't believe the randomness of safety cars are what the people want. I believe the majority of Indycar fans want a substance in the result that reflects and rewards the driver and team that have the most pace and consistency across a race a distance.
I also don't feel that people continuously highlighting that Indycar is a shadow of its former 80s/90s self is that enlightening. I dont think anyone disagrees or isnt aware of this fact.
What is does have is a good racing product as shown in 2016. The cars might not be a 1991 Jordan however some suggestions that people wont watch the racing due to the look of the cars is ludicrous & not the type of fan the series should be targeting anyways
