Cheers - see you for Long Beach!
2014 IndyCar / Mazda Road to Indy season
- Thread starter Indy500
- Start date
Not a bad race given the circuit isn't that conducive to passing.
I think Brazil is the main focus right now. Probably another South American race on top of that given Montoya's presence.

Had to record it so caught up before work... Enjoyed the race, hoping it'll be a close season

Is this only available on BT ?? I've watched it on the "net" but with the state of F1 it will probably be worth paying the sub for a while.
BT have the UK rights, yes.

That's annoying as I'm only interested in the racing, maybe I'll give them a call and see if there are any offers.
It's free to stream if you have BT broadband, alternately BT Sport\ESPN is available on BT Vision, Sky and VM as far as I know.

Details for exactly which of the channels it's on and what before each race can be found here.

Think there is a showing on ESPN, Sunday at 21:30 too, which I presume is the live stream
Unfortunately won't be able to watch it live as I'm away this weekend so will have to record it or watch a rerun
