2011 Indy Lights season
North American rounds of the 2011 IndyCar Series season are:
March 27 - St. Pete April 10 - Barber April 17 - Long Beach May 29 - Indianapolis June 11 - Texas June 19 - Milwaukee June 25 - Iowa July 10 - Toronto July 24 - Edmonton August 7 - Mid-Ohio August 14 - New Hampshire August 28 - Sears Point September 4 - Baltimore October 2 - Kentucky October 16 - Las Vegas, Fontana or none Indy Lights last visited Texas and Fontana in 2005. They shouldn't be reacing there or Las Vegas in 2011. That leaves 13 tracks, the middle of the 12-14 track range of the last seasons. Could any other race be dropped? - o - Conor Daly, Tristan Vautier and Nick Andries (1st, 5th and 15th in 2010 Star Mazda) will be testing an Indy Lights car for Andresen Racing at Sebring on October 28. Jorge Goncalvez (4th in 2010 Star Mazda) has driven an Indy Lights car for 220 miles at Putnam Park for Moore Racing. |

I was very happy to see the $300K IndyLights prize for the USAC winner. Of course it's an ovals only thing but hey...I wonder will they definitely do it? Is the ladder so NASCAR-ized that the young kids don't even want it?
IMHO, we need more of this kind of thing, glad to see it. |

2011 Indy Lights schedule:
March 27 - St. Pete April 10 - Barber April 17 - Long Beach May 27 - Indianapolis (Friday?) June 19 - Milwaukee June 25 - Iowa July 10 - Toronto August 7 - Trois-Rivières August 14 - New Hampshire September 4 - Baltimore October 2 - Kentucky October 16 - Las Vegas, Fontana or none The three IndyCar short ovals is cool! As I worte originally, no Texas is no surprise. Mid-Ohio and Sears Point dropped isn't that insane. But Edmonton replaced by Trois-Rivières is shocking! That will be interesting. |

That is a little strange, isn't it. Cutting Edmonton saves a lot of travel money, presuming the event is revived for ICS.
Fontana for Lights? That sounds a bit iffy, hopefully Vegas will be secured. Trois Rivieres? That is running with another series on the schedule for the weekend, yes? |

TR was a great course for Atlantics, should be pretty good for Lights

That's a butt-kicking show. Like the Can Am and Trans Am/ Atlantic weekends used to be.

Grand-Am Koni / Conti Challenge went there the last seasons, not in 2011. Don't be surprised if any of the SCCA Pro Racing championships joins the party too.

I have read in some websites rumors about the ex- Formula Renault 3.5 driver Esteban Guerrierito run in 2011 on the IndyLights with Sam Schmidt Motorsports...

That would be awesome, but not as much as landing an F1 seat. Most Argentines would prefer him racing for Hispania rather than on ovals.

Hmm... Guerrieri is a man in demand it seems, according to touringcartimes.com he may well be heading home:

Argentine tin-top racing must be a backup plan. Quite a good one, but he will surely keep trying to race in North America and Europe for as long as he can.

Sam Schmidt Motorsports is one of the best team (maybe the best) of the series, with a lot of title in its history...J.K. Vernay won the title last year in his rookie season...maybe Guerrieri could make the same...

Skipping Star Mazda isn't a good thing. He's just 18 years old!
