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!

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.

The Stiges-Terramar oval! :P

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

I thought you mentioned Sanoma with regards to the empty slot between March and April.

Sonoma is in California anyway, so it'll never be as green as places like Barber or Mid-Ohio.

That area of California has very green and very tan growth depending on the season, and not too much further north is VERY green, but I can't think of any major tracks in that area. Think redwood forest and coastal fog near constantly. California runs the entire spectrum from desert scrub to temperate rain forest so it all depends where you are. Sonoma just happens to be more chaparral (cismontane if you prefer specifics) than green forest most of the year.

The other major circuit is Laguna Seca but it's about 125 miles south.

Btw. here in Finland where we had virtually no rain from 10th of May till mid-June, open spaces (and our lawn) really started to look very much like coastal California. Usually the early June is mostly cool and overcast.

I'm guessing either Homestead or Houston. I don't see a return to Las Vegas or NOLA coming, and that slot is definitely too close to Long Beach for them to do Fontana then.

It's a lot easier to stage a race at a permanent facility be it an oval or road course than it is to stage a race on a temporary circuit. If IndyCar could possibly return to Houston in 2019, we'd probably have heard something about it by now.

The other issue with Houston is that it probably makes keeping Texas Motor Speedway on the schedule somewhat less likely long term.
