I admit I've only seen the Youtube highlights of practice so far but even in that I didn't see any car oversteer upon acceleration, which feels the purist racing fan in me with a deep sense of sadness and disappointment.

They would probably be third. Given Lotus performance.

I know it's not a reliable source, but here is the schedule:

It's not anywhere on IndyCar's site, and they don't even have a website up now for the IndyLights. :x

They've got three out of four top teams on the grid, so that's expected. Of course Honda, apart from Ganassi, has a couple of sleepers in Pagenaud and Newgarden, but generally the Chevy bunch looks to be better.

Meanwhile the Eastern Europe based channel Sportklub has bought the rights to show both IndyCar and SprintCup live from 2012, so for the first time in five years I'll be able to watch AOWR on my TV rather then some streams :)

Great news but also it means the image quality will be shit. Well it's still better then not being able to watch at all :)

Does anyone know if there will be some more overtaking with the new car? The old car was notorious for being hard to pass.

Sky coverage shoved over to the Red Button on SSF1HD.

If this causes issues with being able to see it on Sky Go, I'm gonna scream!

If Atlas is correct, it will.

Sorry. :(

Still, there will be streams out of the wazoo.

The F1 over-run. And IndyCar is expendable.

Randy has to get it on Channel 4 or something.

Can't see why there would be. Aerodynamically it has the same issues. But given it's a new car, it should be more unpredictable in the first race. They are still learning, whilst they knew the old car like the back of their hands.

A recorded programme with Jody Scheckter. AGAIN.
And a replay. AGAIN

This is simply sky trying to reduce BBC's market share with the replay. Period.


Murdoch, Fuck You.
