2026 Indycar Season kicks of a St Petersburg this weekend; looking forward to seeing Grosjean back and the addition of Mick Schumacher to the grid.

Folks will get the Australian GP thread up on Monday/Tuesday - Just a heads up though; they might look a little different - its quite time consuming at times to create so I'm going to have a look and see how much I can use AI to produce some of the scheduling, etc; if I can get that to work reliably then I'll likely use that more! Will include all the usual info, etc but just looking to see what I can do !
@chrismscotland While the detailed opening posts are cool and appreciated, they're not necessary. If they're too much of a burden feel free to cut them down some.

Yeah just post the thread with the race start times and that's it. I don't read any of the other stuff, I just come in to see what's been posted by others and go from there.
Engine Catch-up system has been outlined.
Aston Martin/Honda will be happy at least

This is delicious. I really hope somebody very very high up at Honda is responsible for this just to troll Alonso.
Honda, meanwhile, are blaming Aston for building a car with too much vibration causing their parts to fail.

It’s just so good. Newey there for the money. Stroll and Stroll and then Alonso. Chefs kiss.
It's actually a really good point, the most important things in the thread are the times, a lot of the other stuff doesn't change, track layout, where to sit, etc.
They don't need to be as detailed as they are @chrismscotland.
I checked when I saw this yesterday and Sky weren't taking bets on them finishing or not finishing.
Or in other words, you can still throw money at a bookies that keep unrealistic bets, but dont expect to bet on anything likely?

The WEC season opener (scheduled for Qatar on March 28th) has been delayed "indefinitely"; I suspect we're about a week away (if this keeps up) from a similar decision being made for the Bahrain and Saudi F1 races.
Ironically WEC now starts in Imola which is likely top of the list for a replacement F1 race as well.

Bet365 only have 'yes' to be classified still at 4/6 for each driver. I don't see how they're allowed to do that. Take them both out of the market if you know something is up.
Basically, yeah. Mind you they can do what they like without punishment so it doesn't surprise me.
Sky have announced their line up.
