IndyCar 2024

I was NOT a fan of the Nashville street circuit; I hope they keep the Nashville race at the speedway.

 

Absolute trash.

 

I watched the Indy car race the first time every car looks the same besides the Color and motor is this a regulation,so changes to the wings and bodywork are not allowed?

According to a friend who lives in Nashville now, they ran at the oval there due to construction
going on around building the new Nissan Stadium and it wasn't possible to run a race there as a result.

Not sure if they're planning to return to the street circuit after the stadium construction is
finished or if they'll return to the oval.

Seems the lead investor, Daniel Towriss, wants Michael out.

And this also appears to be the same Daniel Towriss

If you're anywhere near Atlanta between now and Groundhog Day, you can see all of the following IndyCars, and I know that most of them, if not all of them, were race winners. This is at the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, GA. (Harroun's 1911 Wasp will be arriving in "late November".) I see cars on the list driven by Vukovich, Ward, Al Sr., Donohue, Foyt and Johncock. They just arrived today.

Despite suffering severe leg injuries, Pietro Fittipaldi displayed extraordinary resilience and determination, fighting his way back to high-level competitive racing. His journey is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit.
