And the provisional entry list

[Dinoboy]

Thanks for that, looking forward to some good races this year.

Thanks, it sure is a long season, As a swede it will be a fun season to follow, especially felix who is extremely talented, and seems to be fast in just about everything he drives.

Fernado Alonso to contest 6 rounds, not just the Indy 500!

No, I think that's saying he will do round 6 only.

Bugger, thought I had an alternative to F1 for part of the year!

Booked my tickets for St Pete last night. Couple of days there, bit of beach time then over to Sebring for the WEC / IMSA double-header. Well excited!

First open test underway at COTA ( video and laptimes here http://racecontrol.indycar.com/ )

Top times currently around the 1m50s mark - early days yet but well off the 1m37s record from last year's F1 race

[MartG]

1st session finished - Colton Herta topping the timesheets with a 1:48.7, narrowly pipping Indycar debutante Marcus Ericsson on 1:48.8

Second session starts at 20:30 GMT

[Dinoboy]

Thanks for the link.

Top times from second session

I can't help but think Wickens racing is somewhat hopeful but I see he has an entry

I hope he manages it, though I do doubt he'll race this year

[Speed Badger]

Oh you're fking kidding, I've just literally signed up to BT Sports via Sky on 18 month contract primarily for the Indycars which starts in 10 days!

[MartG]

Bugger - looks like I'll be cancelling BT TV then

I was just going to subscribe to BT Sport to get this! Presume the Moto GP is still on though?

[Speed Badger]

I was reasonably happy to pay for BT Sport as I like football & it has premier league plus all the Euro games, Indycar, WRC & Moto GP. It used to have DTM as well, but now with no Indycar I can't justify the expense for the odd football, Moto GP and WRC now and then. Hope someone in the UK picks up the rights.

I cancelled my BT TV contract yesterday. Indycar was about the only thing I wanted to watch. Really disappointing as I was starting to get into it.

[Speed Badger]

Yeah im torn on whether to cancel mine as I love all the Champions League / Europa league (Arsenal fan, for my sins).

Heard a rumour Indycar is going to be on the Sky F1 channel if a deal can be done. But this is a rumour from an unreliable source.
