I have to say, the coverage on both VS and Sky was top notch this year.... Keep it up guys!

The road tracks next year are going to be good. I'm going to miss the Glen, and Sonoma sucks, but aside from that, one of the championships will be good.

The ovals however..... Texas will be amazing, and Iowa in the night will be fun, but Milwaukee is dull, same as Motegi, and no chigagoland..... Please!

As reported by Robin Miller to The Speed Report, 7-11 is leaving AA, and Tony Kanaan has been given the OK to "seek other opportunities."

Source? Cavin said a week back that Michael and TK had retained the sponsorship for next year.

Looks like Cavin had jumped the gun the other day:

http://www.indystar.com/article/20101004/SPORTS0107/101004020/IndyCar-driver-Tony-Kanaan-losing-sponsor-7-Eleven?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CIndyStar.com

So.. Rahal to AA a more likely possibility now then?

Hope a team like Ganassi can find the funding to yield a car for Kanaan.

Milwaukee is underrated.

Granted, I've not actually seen an IRL spec race at Milwaukee but it rewards brave driving, so if anyone (Kanaan...) wants to charge round the outside of 6 cars on the start, its slight but decent banking will allow you to do that....

(Like Tracy nearly accomplished in 2006 before Dominquez ruined it all...)

depends if Sky renew it or not, and the new(ish) Sky Sports boss isn't a motor sport fan.
If they don't take it, then I'd expect maybe Five to take highlights and maybe an outside chance Eurosport.

There's also the possibility that Open Access might pick it up like they did NASCAR.

Anyone know how they are doing with that? Found it really odd that there's nothing at all on the channel apart from the Sprint Cup :o

It's a strange channel. I don't know anything about it really.

Just look at the website :o
