      Check Indycar's "Where to watch" page for where it will be broadcast. At the very least, on their youtube channel they have 30-minute highlight videos for every race, which I think works pretty well to show you everything relevant.

      @FP1Will Ah thanks mate. Also congrats on making an engineer interested in Indycar. Usually I don't care for spec series. Especially if the cars are so relatively slow. And Specifically indycar cause the engine package is so stupid. Even with Alcohol not running Intercoolers is just not done.

    I wonder.
    IndyCar is running a new chassis this year. The aeroscreen is now integrated to the chassis rather than be bolted on, there have been other weight reductions done through-out the chassis and there is now room for the hybrid engine slatted to be installed mid-season. All well and good.
    However, remembering how past chassis updates have went, I seem to recall a problem. Generally, the top-tier teams refresh their chassis' every year or two, resulting in spares. Spares that that can be used as replacements, or spares that can be sold to... not top-tier teams. Meaning after a few years every team has all they need and the cost of buying a used chassis is low.
    I'm worried that this race is indicative of most of the races this coming season. Boring, as teams and drivers are careful not to destroy their cars in a wreck. Not to say that we won't see some incidents on track, but overall I fear that the drivers will not be as aggressive as in past seasons.

      The aeroscreen is still bolted on, but it's also 3D printed Titanium to save weight. Has nothing to do with that.

    It's a toss-up of whether the teams like the format they used for Practice 1, but it was definitely better as a viewing experience. So many Practice 1 sessions last year started with half an hour of teams sitting on pit lane waiting for the rookies to lay down some rubber before they went out. Then you'd have everyone rush out in the last 10 minutes and try to get a clean lap, but the track was so congested that everyone would stack up just before the Alt Start/Finish line, and nobody would *actually* get a clean lap. As a viewer, most Practice 1s last year were boring, this was way better.
