2014 Indy Lights season
Well, I just thought I'd start a thread here focused solely on the drivers, teams, races, etc.
Following the news that Jack Harvey will race for Schmidt Motorsport, is there anyone who can stop him taking a title? Imo only Matt Brabham on the current grid (although they all look pretty fast), but supposedly we have 6 confirmed drivers and 5 teams: Andretti Autosport - Matt Brabham, Zach Veach Belardi Auto Racing - Alex Baron (http://www.paddockscout.com/french-f...y-lights-grid/) Bryan Herta Autosport - Lloyd Read Schmidt Peterson Motorsport - Jack Harvey Team Moore Racing - Zack Meyer Is Indy lights on a rise? |

On a rise? With just seven cars at the test?
Harvey is a big name, but just one name doesn't really help. Cunha is also expected to drive for Schmidt, but Cunha isn't that big name... |

Not Cunha...
...when I say "on a rise" I mean the same amount of cars but more talent... |

"Formel-Woche" (www.formel-woche.de) revealed yesterday in their new PDF magazin, that Euro International will return to Indy Lights in 2015 in preperation for an possible IndyCar return.
So perhaps we see Carlin and Euro International at Indy Lights with the new Dallara AER in 2015... |

Of the 10 Indy Lights rounds, the Freedom 100 will be shown live; seven races will be shown same-day delayed, and the St Petersburg and Indianapolis Grands Prix will be shown very delayed. All on NBC Sports Network.
Single-race rounds will have full coverage. Doubleheaders will have highlights of the sprint race and full coverage of the feature race. |

I haven't seen any official announcement for Luis Razia.
Yesterday, Belardi announced that their third driver will be Gabby Chaves (2nd in 2013 Indy Lights). |

Just watched the St. Pete race on the DVR. First I have heard of
Matthew Brabham, son of Geoff Brabham. It will be fun to watch how his career progresses. |

Chaves certainly got his revenge on last years Indy race with that win - unlucky for Brabham in the week that his Grandfather passed away...

Nasty accident for Austin, although probably wouldn't have been as bad had he taken his hands off the wheel.
