Indy Car

Yes, just turned on - shame that Alex Jacques and Tom Gaymor aren't doing the whole commentary, though.

[FourWheelDrift]

Yes, I will be watching the race once we are through the endless singing and prayers.

[Speed Badger]

Yep, I've got a can of Guinness chilling in the fridge all ready, just the one - let's not go too crazy! Green flag at 7:45 apparently, hoping its not processional due to the extra disturbed airflow of the aeroscreen.

Glad they are still doing all the ceremonial buggering about pre race, it's so cheesy and American but its all part of it.

Yes, can never seem to get any formal confirmation of start time - it's all a bit endearingly amateur hour in IndyCar.

Personally I like the usual US commentary team, but dislike the demotion of Diffey and the addition of Tirico and Patrick.

Covid trumpet. Spraying it all over.

Elvis is a little different to how I remember.

Yep I've plotted on the sofa, Mrs Badger is bedding the little one tonight so I'm all set. Just need a small helper monkey with a tray of canapés to wander in every so often. I'm going for another Sato win.

Anyone tuning in? Broadcast on Sky F1 channel

too busy catching up on the 7hr BTCC marathon after spending all day on motoGP and BSB.

Might tune in for the start, what time does the yammering stop and the racing start?

[thatsprettyshady]

checking in and I'm loving all the guff at the start, it reminds me of when I went in 2011 to see Dan Wheldon win it.

Heart wants Jack Harvey to win - i've been a huge Harvey fan since before his GP3 days.
Head thinks Scott Dixon.

I'm backing Askew

An empty Indy is very very strange.

I was hoping that Mario would floor the two-seater.

[FourWheelDrift]

Seeing Michael these days I'm actually surprised he could fit in the two seater.

[JonChalk]

I do like the look of the new Corvette.

[LosingGrip]

Never watched it before. Was reading the lap record...silly speeds!

Looking forward to it!

Girlfriend wasn't impressed when she saw the program is on for five hours...
