What Exactly Is The Road To Indy?

How much do you know about the North American feeder ladder known simply as the 'Road To Indy'?
Formerly known as the 'Mazda Road To Indy', the ladder itself has a unique promotion and scholarship method at promoting the best racers towards a career goal of a drive in IndyCar.
With three seperate championships and one scholarship shoot out, the ladder has a wide variety of ways to teach its drivers everything they need to know about racing in North America.
So if you're new to the ladder or want to brush up, check out this video on What Exactly Is The Road To Indy.

Now it’s karting time

F1 should definitely inherit this Scholarship method..that financial barrier would definitely be broken in some way shape or form!

Hi everyone, apologise for the delay but this weeks video is finally out.
I'll be taking a week off now to organise stuff for a longer video and hopefully will have something to tell you all this time next week.
As always enjoy the video, and let me know of any suggestions you may have for future videos!

[@luke5196]

Jacob Bosley Great video! Small note: most young drivers don’t jump to usf2000, either doing a year in USF4 or F1600. It will be interesting to see how the west coast F4 series and USF3 pan out! Love your content btw

Talk about Australia 5000

I thought that it was so strange how little they race on ovals, but then I realized that IndyCar itself only goes to like 4 ovals throughout the season anymore. A lot of us Indy fans would love to see more ovals, as it's where most of the best racing happens.

[@sonang7721]

Isn't that what makes CART more engaging than IRL, more road courses than ovals?

[@benjaminbrockway5998]

@@sonang7721 You do know those series rejoined over a decade ago? It is all IRL now.

[@joshlehnertz2726]

The ladder system is still a broken system. The scholarship is only 1 year, and after that year they are screwed. Struggling teams will usually take on the Indy lights champion and the results are off due to the car so they end up fading from relevance. imo……the Indy lights and f2 champions are actually getting punished for being good.
I might be able to name more Indy lights champions that are no longer in Indycar than Indy lights champions that are currently in Indycar. And they don’t just all of sudden forget how to drive.
