So, you're still following IndyCar then DF? Good on you.

Personally, i am looking forward to St.Pete. Lots of Q's over performance and reliability. Could we see a non Ganassi/Penske winner??

Yes, I still love Indycar. It still is very sad that Danica is no longer a part of it. I will miss her tremendously.

ECW Dan Selby · 15 Mar 2012, 13:50 (Ref:3041516)

Never would have guessed......!

Only joshing, couldn't resist!

She's quite the lady, I must say.

Id love to watch this season. Anyone know how to in the UK without sky?

NaBUru38 · 18 Mar 2012, 22:23 (Ref:3044242)

Searching for illegal streams, as I did most of 2011.

kurski · 18 Mar 2012, 22:59 (Ref:3044263)

I hope that Marco Andretti win St. Petersburg race.

heard a rumor that Jenson Button and Jeff Burton are coming up on the spot (St. Petersburg), tribute Dan Wheldon.

Uh, sounds fishy, since Button will be at the other side of the word, competing at the Malaysian GP.

try justin.tv

Also, ESPN 3 (if yu can get it over there???) will simulcast a bunch-o-in-car cameras.

JHamilton · 20 Mar 2012, 03:13 (Ref:3045078)

Am I actually going to watch these goofy looking things?

I don't think I can help it.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 20 Mar 2012, 15:36 (Ref:3045408)

It'll be interesting to see how lap times compare with last year.

Someone told me this was quite good.

Here is the entry list...

kobefly · 20 Mar 2012, 17:23 (Ref:3045477)

Hoping this is finally Power's season.

Jacques Rabbit · 20 Mar 2012, 23:39 (Ref:3045706)

I always thought it might be fun to make a Delta Force intro for an IndyCar race...the result was nothing close to what Paul Page can do...

http://soundcloud.com/user1162239-1/...-intro/s-XsXY6

But I enjoyed myself, and I'll still criticize the commentators, even though they are far ahead of what I'd do. All in good fun.

Was hoping to see Bourdais race, but I guess Jay Penske had us all fooled, even Bernard, getting the TEAM money. Be interested to see where that all goes.

It's good to have it back. I've been less interested this off-season but as it got closer, I remembered why I enjoyed this stuff. Give the new car and all that a chance, even if my boys and girls are all wobbling around in Lotus entries.

so:

Chevrolet (11) - Penske x 3, Panther, KV x 3, Andretti x 3, Ed Carpenter
Honda (10) - Ganassi x 4, Schmidt-Hamilton, Sarah Fisher Hartman, A.J. Foyt, Rahal Letterman Lanigan, Dale Coyne x 2
Lotus (5) - Dragon x 2, Bryan Herta, HVM, Dreyer & Reinbold

Always ready for a new season to start. Hopefully no jet dryer fires.

NaBUru38 · 21 Mar 2012, 23:25 (Ref:3046272)

It seems that ESPN will broadcast the race in Hispanic America... on Monday 10am.

Paradise City · 23 Mar 2012, 12:12 (Ref:3047060)

Nothing is going to make that awful car look nice but the season doesn't look like a bad prospect nevertheless. The Power Franchitti stranglehold should be disrupted and there are plenty of new elements to introduce into the sport including a lightning fast Barrichello.

Pole speed last year was Will Power doing 61.9625 seconds. Although they're 15 minutes into the 2nd session and as I write 11 drivers are underneath 63 seconds. Hinchcliffe right now at 62.46.
