A lot of young talent around. Don't know why anyone wants a 40+ year old way past his prime.

Endurance-Info are reporting Tristan Gommendy will race at the Indy 500 with Calmels Sport, in collaboration with Schmidt Petersen.

http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/cal...dy-a-indy-500/

--
Gommendy currently races in WEC for David Cheng / Jota.

Didier Calmels is best known for his involvement with Larrousse in F1 (the team was originally called Larrousse/Calmels; hence the Lola LC88 etc type numbers)
Currently, he is a partner with Sinault in Signatech Alpine (WEC/ELMS)
IIRC, beside that he spent some time in prison for killing his wife (late 80s, early 90s)

In 2007, Gommendy drove in Champ Car for PKV.
This year he finished third overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Jackie Chan DC Racing.

Talk down here is Brendon Hartley to join Scott Dixon at Ganassi?.
Would be interesting as Hartley is blindingly fast in an open wheeler when he stays on the track.

It would be great to have another team for next season but reading this, it looks like Juncos is already very busy next season with Pro Mazda.

I'm going down to see the cars tomorrow morning for the test. They only run the back half of the track but with the new bodywork they should get some good speed going in the big bend before having to whoa them down for the hairpin. Good to see 4 cars instead of just the 2 they have been running.

Not the most interesting article on the new aero-kits but at the end of it, there is mention of a new chassis, which is expected to debut in 2021.

The title of this Robin Miller story for Racer says it all: “Will Portland replace The Glen on IndyCar schedule?

Sample quote:

Quote:
"We've had two good races but it's been an uphill climb trying to make it work," said [Watkins Glen International president Michael] Printup, who is thought to have leased the legendary road course to IndyCar. "I don't think the dates help us any because July 4 and Labor Day don't seem to be good. I asked IndyCar about changing dates but there weren't any available."
