Has it been explicitly confirmed that there won't be any sessions show on YT? For global audiences.

In terms of IndyCar sessions & Indy Lights races, I haven't seen anything announced for international audiences yet. Might find a answer somewhere on Miller's Mailbag / RACER, or maybe on Trackside / 1070 The Fan Indy Lights qualifying / practice, and all sessions for: Indy Pro 2000 & USF2000 will be broadcast on RoadToIndy.TV (most likely through YT) to global audiences. Pirelli GT4 America & TC America will most likely be streamed through GTWorld / world-challenge.com

Tuesday and still no news on TV coverage for spanish-seaking latin america :C ESPN latin america has been showing AOWR since it's inception. After the split, they stuck with CART until they started showing IRL in 2002 on. But now without ESPN Intl. dealing with the international TV rights, I don't know if we'll get to watch St. Pete this weekend on TV.

Canada & Australia (FOX) to be announced tomorrow seems like no luck for Latin America (outside of Brazil) however.

If you haven't seen the spotter's guide, the field size will be 24. No O'Ward who was rumoured as a 25th entrant with Carlin, although a deal may still happen for COTA onwards, and no Juncos either, but they definitely will be at COTA.

Quite stoked for this season. I intend to watch every race in full, which is more than I can say for the slow-motion train wreck of my once-beloved NASCAR.

Same here on both statements. I feel like I'm coming full circle in my love of American motorsports. I remember the 89 Indy 500 and was a big open wheel fan a year or so before I fell for NASCAR. I'm almost completely done with NASCAR now and I'm beyond hyped for the IndyCar season. The numbers may never get back to that level, but this season has that early to mid 90s pre split feel to it. Especially Indy this year. Sent from my Umidigi One Max using Tapatalk

I think the fact that the series is not 'huge' means there is more impotence to have to listen to what the fans want

At least Lights races aren't exclusively on NBC Sports Gold.

Looking forward to being able to watch the races live this season. Shame that the Lights field is still painfully small, but hoping Indycar will continue to gain in popularity.

At this point, it's probably best to write Indy Lights off as a good idea tbh It obviously sits between "cheap ladder series racing" and "Well, if we have to spend that much, we might as well spend a little bit more and race in the main series for the exposure" It'll never be the Xfinity to NASCAR's cup with all the teams running 2nd programs there either, despite what incentives indycar dangles their way.
