Thank you folks for clarifying there is no Audi connection whatsoever. I had lost count of Luhr's career after he had left DTM, with the exception of Le Mans. Yet, it is a pleasure to see him get back onto my radar in quite the unexpected fashion. Here's hoping he has a good race. Greg Pickett's team surely would be a competent addition to the IndyCar lineup for next year.

It'll be interesting to see what Muscle Milk can bring to IndyCar; the series needs something like this. |

I actually don't know what to make of this. As an IndyCar fan, I'm excited to see Muscle Milk colours on an IndyCar, but I'd be very disappointed to see them leave sports cars. If HPD is serious about their 2014 P1 car, he could head to the WEC.

I think sportscars will be reasonably well supported in a financial sense under the wing of the France family. There's other concerns about what kind of product they are rolling out which is a matter for the other section.
Indycar though very much needs a title sponsor. |

It does seem an odd choice but it may be down to financial constraints.

Nearly One year later and we still don't know what 2014 holds entirely for sports car racing. Uncle Jim is no Bill France Sr, nor is the drunk grandson running the big show
Indycar while it has issues of it's own, has a solid, stable rules package that is all but confirmed for 2014. Also, for all the talk of Indycar being in the crapper, which it is, looking at fan reactions sports car racing in the United States may be on another level of doom. WEC P1 will be megabucks, possibly out of Pickett's reach unless Honda is offering some serious Yen. |

Narain Karthikeyan has been mentioned as a possible candidate to turn his attention from Europe to focus on an IndyCar Series program in North America, but tells RACER he'll hold off on making any decisions until after his first test is completed.

I wish him luck but he's drastically under estimating Indycar. But I guess we'll see. I'm ok if he fills a pay drive seat to help a small team... Like maybe drive for D&R or a jump started Newman Haas

Just came across a great piece by Patrick Hruby of sportsonearth.com on the economics of sports and television in the U.S. (The two are actually pretty much one and the same.) Yes, sports is the reason cable or satellite bill keep going up. The only question is when somebody develops a business model that disrupts the status quo:

Some rule changes; lapped cars, penalties and tyres.

Verizon will likely be entering the Canadian Market early next year as well, although that's not likely to sit well with Roger's (Owner of Canadian TV rights and also a large cellular service provider in Canada)

The Verizon and Vodafone companies are linked. But it's still two different brands.
