Watching these races are but Ill tell you right now Street circuits were the Death of Cart and if Indy Car is smart they will get away from street circuits
The people that want to complain about car count now a days need to look back, this race only started 25, and a standard field was 26... We're really not that far off count from the year's ago... We got spoiled last year with 26 consistently.
Exactly, 25-26 consistently performing cars over a season is a pretty good car count.
Of course you're going to get one offs for the Indy 500, but that's part of the sport, it's the same in NASCAR, the same in soccer/football (think smaller teams getting into the limelight)
I remember this race when I was a kid. Today, this road course is no longer there and now have a track down in Millville, NJ called NJ Motorsports Park aka Thunder Raceway.
Even though Bernie and Max seem jumped up about anyone using it (again, A1GP, think back to them threatening them if they used A1 Grand Prix, among other cases. Also other sports, e.g. snooker,athletics, motorcycling, powerboats (use both Formula One AND Grand Prix) use Grand Prix..)
This is despite them not having an actual trademark on the term, even though they tried copyrighting it, and got thrown out of court.

I loved that little 3D rendered map at the beginning showing the landscape and the track.

Little Al and Michael as "kids". Now they're legends.
Too bad Al III's career has stalled out.

I love how they were able to use the 'grand prix' name, as now Bernie'd have a fit (see A1GP, GPWC breakaway series.etc)
Speaking of which how does Long Beach get away with it?

They get away with the Grand Prix name now by calling it the "IndyCar Grand Prix" instead of just Grand Prix.
