Discussing the IZOD IndyCar Series Entitlement Announcement

[33kalam]

What Terry Angstadt said about tv ratings is definitely not true. Even when the series merged, the races other than the indy 500 is not even close to 1 million viewers

[virtualboy1995]

I can't stand that new Izod commerical.

All these pretty boy models running around pretending to be driving indy cars...

lame.

yea,

[lostracingfan48]

OK, Great you have a title sponsor. Now how about the 2010/2011/2012 car, better racing, much better driver talent, GOOD road courses and some GOOD ovals. And Terry, why are you saying your TV Ratings, attendance and your 500 is growing. Indy tv ratings in 2009 where the lowest since 1986, 12,000 people at the Indy Toronto. Also since 2005 500 tv ratings have dropped 40%

[BoilerByBlood]

There shouldn't be more of either type of course... it should be half road & street and half oval which is exactly what the current schedule is.

[afannell]

The series need to be on NBC now that Comcast/Versus has bought 50% on NBC. They also need to bring back the turbos.

[a0121536]

Turbos, yes. Otherwise what are we going to see on NBC? Racing cars that are technologically advanced? Fast? Beautiful?? "Exciting"?

[stlfan150]

I think they have a good mix of road courses and ovals and I personally like ovals better than road courses. I would like to see RA though over an oval like Kansas where they don't draw many fans.

We drove to Kanas 300 2009 in Dinan SMG M3 Convertible , hit 170mph with luggage, passed LT4 red Vette.

Burned off tread on rear, ate $330 on F1 Goodyear, could not find Mich P/S in State of Kansas in 30 tire shops

[WakeUpDummies]

Cool. More road courses, less ovals pretty please

[redbulllrb3]

2010 schedules already out...pretty even i believe...maybe more road/street course than oval i think

[WakeUpDummies]

Excellent! I liked CART/CHAMPCAR in the old days because of the heavy amount of road racing. Ovals are ok but with NASCAR... there are enough oval races..

[THEkingjaymz]

You already got that. The only 2 road courses I want to see added are Road America and Surfer's Paradise

[WakeUpDummies]

Let's agree to disagree but I DO agree that RA is an awesome place..

[a0121536]

@THEkingjaymz, Laguna? ;)

[THEkingjaymz]

haha damn how'd I forget that place. I really want the season to end there like it used to. One of the best circuits in the world. It would be great if they could race at Interlagos in Brazil, but that's a pipe dream

[euro944t]

Add Daytona 24hr track or the old F1 reverse circuit @Indy.

[THEkingjaymz]

I went to every F1 race at Indy and I'd kill for them to come back, but I don't want to see Indycar there. It would only take even more luster off the 500

[euro944t]

How about ALMS reverse Indy course ?
