Didn't BT take it over?
Schedule on indycar.com mentions a "live stream", I'll look into whether they're actually putting the races on it (it was a feature in 2010/11).

Didn't BT take it over?
Schedule on indycar.com mentions a "live stream", I'll look into whether they're actually putting the races on it (it was a feature in 2010/11).
Their channel range isn't as comprehensive as Sky so I think that would be a mistake.
Just waiting for the official practice highlights to go up, looks like Will Power, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Simona de Silvestro are setting the early pace. Track record is likely to be broken in qualifying, despite the reduction in horsepower from the CART days, and few driving aids (no power steering here).

Missed the race, sounds like it was exciting (though looking at the results those cautions were far too long). Shame to see Vautier let down by a car problem.
Edit: Hildebrand's drive will be under threat if he has another race like that. Been largely anonymous since the 2011 Indy 500.

Indycar Series Round 2 of 19: Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama
Venue: Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, AL
Track length: 2.38 miles
Race length: 90 laps (214.2 miles)
Lap record: 1:07.129 (Will Power, Dallara IR12-Chevrolet, 2013 Barber Open Test)
Overview: Barber Motorsports Park opened in 2003, initially hosting Grand-Am events, but later adding AMA Superbikes and Indycar (along with its MRTI ladder series). The circuit contains a number of elevation changes amid its long sweeping corners and occasional chicane or hairpin. Its layout can best be described as "Barcelona's F1 circuit done right".

Final stint now, Castroneves and Hunter-Reay are battling for the lead. Scott Dixon is third followed by Will Power and Charlie Kimball. Tristan Vautier down to 9th after running well in the first 20-30 laps.
RHR takes the lead at the hairpin and locks a wheel, and Dixon follows through later in the lap to take second place. Hunter-Reay will still have his hands full for the last 14 laps.
Retirements: Hinchcliffe, Franchitti, Beatriz.

Yeah, it's a shame as there's good racing but nobody wants to promote it...
It helps that off-season development has made the cars ~3.5 seconds quicker than last year.
Have to feel for Dixon 4th year in a row of 2nd
He'll be a title threat, he's acclimated to the new chassis much better than Dario has.
