The Official 2009 Indy Lights Season Thread

With the opening round at St. Pete just around the corner, I figured we might as well start a season thread.

Here is the entry list for the opening weekend.

I'm super excited about Indy Lights 2009.

The series honestly has the stoutest field of development drivers in the entire world except for perhaps GP2. Definitely a better field top to bottom than A1GP or Superleague.

Also nice to see Genoa and Vision return to the series and welcome the new teams: PBIR, ELFF, Herta, and Hamilton

The Freedom 100 last year also had 27 cars, so this race is tied for the most ever.

Apparently Team E just didn't have the car ready to go down to St. Pete. I think they're still planning on being at Long Beach.

Hildebrand just thrashed the field a truly dominating performance.

Stefan Wilson was having a great weekend until he ran into trouble. Very solid weekend for Ali Jackson too.

Ali Jackson - remember him in Asian F3 in 2006. Where has he been the last 2 years?

2005 Indy Lights champion Wade Cunningham won his first pole in two years. Cunningham recorded a two-lap qualifying average of 187.458 mph.

Sebastian Saavedra will start 2nd, from Ana Beatriz, JR Hildebrand and Pippa Mann fifth.

Cunningham won what was a very exciting Freedom 100 race this afternoon...cars were racing two wide through Indy's Turns!!

Only 12 cars finished, though...quite a bit of carnage from a few wrecks...Beatriz may be hurt...took a long time to get her out of the car and they put her on the backboard...

The Indy website is so rubbish I a) didn't realise the race was on and b) had to really struggle to find the full result.

Hope Ana is ok, she's one of my favourites.

Had no problem with the website.Listened to the race on Indy radio.Pippa Mann ,rubbish in F.Renaults,seems to be suited to ovals,sadly was also knocked into the wall early on.

Pablo Donoso will drive for RLR/Andersen Racing this weekend... Jonathan Summerton who is 5th in points will miss Iowa due to lack of sponsorship $$$ - interesting that Summerton is also 2nd in Formula Atlantic points...
