I know IndyCar needs people to watch the actual race, but another good thing is that the IndyCar KZfaq channel puts out a 30min race highlight package the day after each race. All the good stuff, no ads, in and out in a half-hour. Also, I think IndyCar might not be spending marketing $$ because they're hoping Bus Bros on Josef Newgarden's channel will do the work for them.

Great video Will I like the genuine approach you have to the series. A reminder also that the feeder series of Indycar the NXT series will also be broadcast this year on sky sports action, this is the series that Jamie Chadwick will be racing in so may be good to keep an eye on. Would love to see you cover Super Formula next in my opinion the third best open wheel series in the world and very similar progression system as Indycar.
@BenS44 Жыл бұрын
Can't speak highly enough of IndyCar it's entertaining week in week out and since I started following the series in 2021 I've yet to experience a boring race. I spent a while trying out other motorsport series to watch alongside F1 and IndyCar is the only one I've found myself a genuine fan of and actively follow. I gave Formula E a few chances but every time I went back I was quick to remember.. I hate everything about it. I'd also like to mention oval racing is fantastic, I know it has a negative reputation amongst F1 fans as 'just racing in circles' but it's actually great and provides some of the best races of the season. Give it a go people you won't regret it.

This is so so nice! I would also add that in Indy car strategy is very dynamic, owing to the yellow flags. Even in races with only a couple, you have teams changing things up as they go along. And that makes it better for fans. Also the rules for passing are, well, yes there are some but it's not like F1 by any stretch.

It almost was during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Then Ecclestone came in and essentially screwed over all the smaller teams to have just like 3-4 drivers competing and maybe 2 teams per season to make it more marketable, while IndyCar, who had 5-10 drivers competing for a win, didn't match up

Reason number 6: The FIA is not the governing body. Therefore a lot less controversy and penalties that make sense more and are applied in a more straight forward manner (or that last one at least from my experience watching IndyCar since the pandemic).
@elemkay5104 Жыл бұрын
To be fair it can still be pretty shambolic at times, but much less politics and more straightforward logic (even if the logic doesn't always add up) - and a lot more leeway for aggressive passing moves. It's a funny thing about American racing where they also don't like to hype up controversy like F1 does, thanks to their dedication towards image and their sponsors who make things happen, which I think is a part of it. But yeah... the FIA are just on another level in pretty much every sense.

The trouble is, it's on Sky sports (last time I looked). I'm not going to pay so much for a handful of races a year. If there was a highlights version on FTA channels, like there is for F1 on Channel 4 (very little of the actual race is lost, certainly none of the action), I'd be glued to the TV. This and Aussie V8s (or whatever the name is this year). When Motors TV actually _had_ a TV channel I got to see some absolute cracking races.

American here. F1 fan since 1984. Ovals are boring and pointless. The only Oval race I go out of my way to watch is the Indy 500. (Mostly because it is usually on the same day as the GP of Monaco and I need something to wake me up after the Monaco snooze fest.) Indy isn't quite an Oval. It's a rectangle. There are small straights between turns 1&2 and between turns 3&4. St. Pete is a decent street course, but the permanent road courses are the best. Road America. Road Atlanta Barber Motorpark (Alabama) Sadly... the road course 40 minutes away from me (Mid-Ohio) is no longer big enough to handle these cars and the race at Mid-Ohio usually sucks. Of course I watch some IndyCar, but it really does not compare to F1.
