It would be good if they could attract KIA/Hyundai/Genesis.

Or Alfa Romeo or BMW.

Or bring the cost down so they can attract smaller manufacturers like Mazda, Subaru or Jaguar.

Mazda was the best choice I thought but then they withdraw from Road to Indy. So Mazda is out.

Hyundai would be nice, but I doubt it.

And BMW? Forget it!

I'm sure Dallara will be looking into how to improve the oval racing, during the long off season.

Indy 500 wasn't boring, and there were record numbers of passes at Phoenix, Iowa, and Gateway. Not to say the aero package can't be improved but the oval races generally kept me interested.

For those of you, who are interested in what other series IndyCar drivers race in, RH-R co-drove the winning Cadillac DPi in their first win at Petit Le Mans, Road Atlanta. So congrats to him.

RH-R is probably the most under-rated driver in the Indycar series.


Other present/former Indycar drivers at Petit LM:


Spencer Pigot: P3



Tristan Vautier, Christian Fittipaldi: P4


Graham Rahal, Helio Castroneves: P5


Scott Sharp: P11


Numerous others placed lower.

Does this rule Freddie Allen out of IndyCar in 2019 or is he entry independent to that of McLaren?

I thought he was going to IndyCar, and then McLaren started a rumour they would too?

In this article Alonso says:

"A full IndyCar season was never an option that I wanted because of the implication it carries."

"If they (McLaren) were to enter IndyCar full time it was never going to be with me, so it changes nothing."

Formulahistory should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The second Carlin seat will go to Ericsson.
Juncos will field just one fulltime seat – could be shared by different drivers.
Schmidt could also share the second cockpit. Wehrlein is mentioned to do 4 races.

Blimey. However, he does say: "I’ve only been posting videos of the small movement in my legs, but the reality is I am far away from walking on my own. "
