Nikki Katz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Personally I didn't have a big issue with it being a spec series. But Indycar really needs Honda and if they pull out there'll be a lot of cars disappearing. They need to be allowed to catch up to Chevy though, otherwise this'll just happen again next year.

Mark Miles will probably oblige with a very long off season again, long enough for Honda to catch up.

You need to look at this snapshot of the company overview. This will clarify the situation for you.

Thanks for linking an interesting page. But it's a bit outdated. Who of these people is still on the board of directors today? Jeff Belskus who brought in the Boston Consulting Group certainly is not.

Regarding the board members, it is well outdated, e.g., Mark Miles replaced Belskus. Otherwise, its the Indy Racing League LLC, using IndyCar as a trade name.

As long has they are tied with F1 teams, that's not gonna happen.

Now, if Alfa, Dodge or Mercedes return to IndyCar, that would be another story.

Alfa are part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. and they have a North American subsiduary in FCA US LLC. Alfa Romeo launched the US version of the 4C in 2014.

They wouldn't be allowed to race on an oval during their F1 careers, I don't care what manufacturer is at Indy. Indy is an oval and ovals carry with it peculiar risks and require a different knack to tackle properly. LeMans, on the otherhand, is just on the boundaries of possibility with some teams depending on the good humour of the management.

It's great that Alonso and Vettel respect other motorsport institutions. It's a nice departure from the unsentimental tunnel vision attitude of the kind that Michael Schumacher made his own. I may even grow to like Vettel if he keeps this up.

Yes, indeed. I was just wondering who the current board members were and what are their backgrounds.

Barely...just getting started. Dealers thought if they built a Fiat store that would get them an Alfa franchise. Not the case and a lot of them are P.O.'d about it.

A second company has now filed suit (along with Andretti) against NOLA motorsports park claiming they haven't been paid for over $350,000 of work. I'm willing to bet the NOLA race was a one off this year......

Doesn't bode well. Fontana is quite happy for IndyCar to return but in October and now this second law suit against NOLA. That's two races potentially of next season's calendar.

IndyCar conducted a Q&A session with Mark Miles yesterday, covering a range of topics, including season length and aero-kits.

Below the initial article, is a link to the full Q&A session.

Best thing I read in that article was trying to get back to a start
of the schedule in Feb. You gotta start early because race
fans are starving for action from the winter break. So they
need to strike when the iron is hot.
