Back in 2016 Roger Penske said: "There are a lot of people in the north-west United States that like racing. Getting these tracks and date equity is so important", so Portland would be a welcome addition and it would be great to have both venues back on the calendar, though reading that article it doesn't sound likely. |

I would like an oval qualifying format with groups of four drivers.

A McLaren partnership doesn't necessarily mean Alonso though. If they're battling for 3rd in the championship next year then they probably wouldn't want him to skip Monaco. This year would've made little difference.
Button's already said he's not interested. I guess they could go with Montoya, if there aren't still bad feelings and Penske would let him race for a Honda team? Otherwise, Turvey? No oval experience again. |

Sadly Montoya left it a bit too late to make a comeback, great driver he is

That would be good, I still think he has something to offer in Indycars

Shame they couldn’t avoid a date clash for some reason. He enjoyed himself so much last time, it’s only a matter of time before he is back again

Those are two difficult issues — a new title sponsor and a new television/media package. The TV package may be the more critical and pressing issue — how much exposure IndyCar has and for how long will likely have a big impact on a title sponsorship deal. In today’s rapidly fragmenting media market, it’s hard though to know exactly what a “good” television deal looks like. |

Must read article on IndyCar’s media rights and title sponsor challenges by Marshall Pruett: “Future strategies key to IndyCar title sponsor search.”
As I suspected, the media rights issue is the bigger priority as of now. Sample quote: Quote:

Hopefully the new aero kits do the trick so they won't need them
