Sounds like Rossi could get the 4th Andretti/Herta ride

Rossi would be good for Indycar.
Maldonado would be bad for Indycar.

Gutted for Chavez though.

Nice to see those colors on the Chevy aero kit. Looks better than the stock DW12 speedway aero kit IMO. And that's just such a great livery.

Could have a non points race on October 9th this year, series has been looking in Mexico or the Middle East for some international races in the past. Teams wanting more races with the huge offseason that we had this year.

("looks at V8SC schedule, Surfers only 2 weeks after" JUST DO IT INDYCAR)

although I hope they look at some tracks stateside too (cough within 4 hour radius of Charlotte cough)

Racer.com reporting that Alexander Rossi has been signed to race the 4th Andretti/Herta car, announcement tomorrow
http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/126344-update-rossi-set-for-andretti-indycar-drive

had a feeling it would be Rossi considering Maldonaldo's sponsor PDVSA and their history on late payments. Especially considering Herta has had several sponsors & backers back out on the last second or not pay for being on the car

This might be the best looking indycar field in years. Even with this chassis:

Those are great liveries.

The DW12 is still not a good looking chassis with all the airbox, giant wings, bumper guards, etc., but last year's Chevy was at least much sleeker and more traditional looking than last year's Honda. Really glad to see Honda's gone the same direction this year. It makes things much easier on the eyes!

This is good to read. IndyCar's considering downforce reductions for Phoenix to avoid making it a full throttle all the way around ordeal.
