So typical IndyCar then
It will be interesting to see the first oval race though. This new car is meant to stop them being processional.
Any news on if any other IndyCar races are going to be shown on SSF1?

Looking forward to the first oval, see how that goes.
I think Sky have all the races, but not sure if they are putting them on SSF1 or SS3 or 4.
Marshall Pruett's review of Round 1 at St Petersburg
Some interesting food for thought there.
Surprised to see Franchitti languishing in mid-pack, but the rookies put in a strong performance (Pagenaud was 16th after the final round of stops but fought his way to 6th, and Newgarden picked up 11th).

Help you get a racing fix in the gap between F1 races

I'm not sure, don't know if they are just taking it race by race or if it was jsut a one off on SSF1 for the first race.
your not kidding - missed the start of the season and that's some major bodywork changes!!
Its not just bodywork, its a completely new car. The old IndyCar was a 10 year old design and just wasn't safe enough any more.
Yeah, the "launching off the rear wheels" thing has killed more than one driver in the past, hence the "bumper" and enclosed wheels. The new design has too much downforce though.
So they aren't showing any more on the SSF1 channel
As far as I know, no.
This weekend was a one off to try and entice us to subscribe to the full Sky Sports package, where they normally show Indycars on SS4 (I think). No sale as far as I'm concerned. The racing I saw this weekend wasn't a patch on the last time I watched Indycars back in 1993/1994.
The short story is bad management drove CART into the ground (but not before causing a split). You're currently looking at what used to be IRL, the two series merged again when CART basically went broke.

Round 2 is on at 7:30 tonight on SS4 in case anyone didn't know.
Hopefully be a bit more exciting than last weeks affair!

The local TV director missed the overtaking, more like.
Castroneves is on pole, looks good for two wins out of two.

The guy who does the indycar grid walk is like Brundle on speed!
Franchitti is really struggling with these new cars, dunno if it's the pedals or his car why he's so far back.
