2019 IndyCar Series schedule

The Formula E announced that the 2019 Mexico ePrix will be held on February 16.

So IndyCar could race there in late March, right?

If you're footing the bill but I think management has said there was no promoter who wanted to work with them on it. And I think there wasn't much interest from the teams in going to Mexico when previously broached. I think everyone thinks it should work but no one wants to risk that money on it when they already have a couple duds on the schedule to make up for, we're all looking at you PIR (or whatever you are this week)

I can't wait for Portland. Even if the racing is lack luster, the track is just too cool.

I haven't been following racing long enough to remember it from "the old days" but I'm pretty excited. Lots of momentum from the Green Savoree folks, and a certain Mr. Bourdais mentioned to me a couple of years ago that he thought the Pacific Northwest was a big untapped market for IndyCar... let's hope he was right!

Oh no! I'm one of the old guys now!

The couple of times I've visited Oregon, and I even had a conversation with somebody from Oregon 30 minutes ago about it, is that the place is full of hipsters and rednecks and redneck-hipsters. Myself and most Motor Racing should fit right in, for the most part.

IndyCar won't return to Phoenix in 2019 — the race simply didn’t attract enough fans over the past three years. Story per Racer here.

If Alonso comes full time to IndyCar next year, could can it be possible for IndyCar to visit Spain for some (Barcelona or Jerez) track race event ?

Unlikely, unless Alonso is going to pay for it.

I'm not really surprised, it was a three year contract and the racing wasn't outstanding. Maybe a 5 year contract would have been better, especially with the introduction of the UAK but that's hindsight talking.

The Stiges-Terramar oval! :P

There are big Spanish companies who could do it, say Santander, Movistar or Meliá.

Me neither, Phoenix round was never a great success. Dull racing and crowds were around 7k, I think.

The empty slot between March and April will be hard to fill. There aren't so many tracks suitable (weather-wise) for open wheel racing during that time of the year.

It only makes sense to me, and I'm no logistical expert, to bump the opening st. Pete round to a week or two later and then go directly to Barber instead of Florida West Coast back to almost Florida. Late March early April in NE Alabama can be sketchy at times but when it's not, it's beautiful.

Also, not sure if Homestead is even in contention but a Southeastern swing in the springtime could be an interesting proposition . losing a Southwest oval and adding Homestead to Barber and Saint Pete????

St. Pete would have to be two weeks later to avoid a conflict with Sebring, which is the third Saturday in March. And yes, IndyCar does go out of its way to avoid racing the Sebring weekend.
