They are getting better for the international viewers, they did have a woman in the pits who'd go through the NASCAR field during the US breaks. I think I'd find live TV in the US really annoying to watch.


Pretty slam dunk unsafe release you'd think
Becoming ever more international and diverse in appeal has been great for Indy and other US motorsport. The more the merrier, I say.

Why do they light up the tyres when leaving the pits? Seems that it would take a bit of life out the tyres and some of these drivers are incompetent of driving in a straight line.
Tyre warmers are banned in Indycar and NASCAR, IMSA. Recent controversy in WEC Spa and upcoming LM24.

Well after being quiet for 90 green laps, this race just got a little more exciting.

Since about lap 99 it's been great comedy.

Yanks are really selling Indiana Jones and the Walking Frame of Wonder. It must be really crap to get this many trailers shown.

Cool. Likely to be a memorable trip.

There's more than one Fifth Gear episode with Tiff Needell and NASCAR.

The technology now - the miniaturization of cameras, the availability of real-time data - is adding to the experience.

And, by the way, it's a "two-way street" in terms of the migration of sport. Don't laugh, but we're giving cricket a go:

It's been very well behaved actually, honestly Ericsson has been very impressive in Indycar, you gotta be brave in the Indy 500 and I can't fault Ericsson's commitment.

45 laps to go, no holding back now.

Ericsson always manages to stealth his way to the front. My money is on Newgarden at the moment though

Why does it take them so long to get the race restarted?

How no-one binned it at that restart, I have no idea.
