And a look at Helio Castroneve's livery..

Looks like Hinchcliffe will not be restricted to rounds in North America, good news! I'm sure the 4th in his 2nd start helped that.

NaBUru38 · 25 Apr 2011, 18:11 (Ref:2869656)

Bets on raining? Last year was cool, we had everything we could ask.

Purist · 25 Apr 2011, 23:11 (Ref:2869799)

Well, the tire compounds seem farther apart this year, and the overtake button should have a good bit of room to work here, so even without rain, I think we'll be alright.

Team found sponsorship for him for this round, no word on Japan yet

The word on the Beach was that Japan probably won't happen, so it may be a moot point.
keke

If Ganassi run their usual red and white Target colors, it's going to be a bit difficult to pick out Helio with that livery.

gttouring · 28 Apr 2011, 21:14 (Ref:2871504)

I like this race. Should be goo. Here is hoping another strong TK finish. Helio has gotten too big for his briches in Indycar he needs to betaken down a notch...
Go Dario!

Dario has Kellog's listed under the car name so I expect that means another different livery for him.

This was announced to be the livery for Sao Paulo a while ago:

It seems that Speed Channel will show the race in Hispanic America. But that channel is expensive here, my provider doesn't offer it and the journalists have nothing in common with ESPN's duo. So I'll watch Versus again.

Thanks to someone I was given this link http://freetvall.com/video/ and there are a number of sports channels to choose from. For some reason though Sky Sports have relegated IndyCar to Sky Sports 4 but I can access it with it. Otherwise I'm looking forward to the race, with all those similar liveries.

Thanks for the link! IndyCar Al D�*a, a Spanish-lagunage blog, is giving us a feed too.

DanicaFan · 30 Apr 2011, 21:10 (Ref:2872178)

Here is the starting line-up..

fieldodreams79 · 1 May 2011, 03:08 (Ref:2872235)

Well, I'll be; Power on the pole? Nooooooo!

Come on RHR! Nice time and starting spot for Graham, too.

I think someone forgot to check Autosport as there is pen news for Tony Kanann for making a illegal front wing change. from 15th to 21st

**bjohnsonsmith** · 1 May 2011, 16:14 (Ref:2872456)

I couldn't make out whose car it was but they had sheet drapped over the rear wing and pictures of a numberof cars, with the words ''Helio's Hit List''.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 1 May 2011, 16:20 (Ref:2872458)

Looks like they've had rain.

NaBUru38 · 1 May 2011, 16:22 (Ref:2872459)

Indycar Al D�*a has a link to the Brazilian broadcasting. This race will be a mess!
