Dixie's 44 and I don't see him leaving Ganassi just yet.

And a bit cheeky charging in season prices for older stuff and fired driver kit

He is going to be just fine

Valtteri Bottas has revealed he turned down an offer to drive in IndyCar full-time next season but insisted he is open to tackling the Indianapolis 500 - though his primary focus remains on Formula 1.

NaBUru38 · 29 Nov 2024, 16:57 (Ref:4237007)

Now that's interesting! Too bad he didn't accept it, and I think his chances in F1 are scarce.

**joeb** · 4 Dec 2024, 15:35 (Ref:4237654)

DRR/Cusick have announced their Indy 500 lineup for 2025:

Hunter-Reay and Harvey.

https://racer.com/2024/12/04/drr-cus...ay-and-harvey/

They have also signaled their intentions to be on the grid full time in 2027, although there is some murkiness as to how that will work with the Charter system.

If there is a new engine / chassis form in 2027, then the possibility we get a reduction in 3 car teams to 11-13 two car teams is a possibility with charters being traded.

They have said they wanted quality rather than quantity and DRR may just what they mean/think about that idea and who is 'welcome' and who is not.

Formulahistory · 8 Dec 2024, 19:35 (Ref:4238195)

I could only imagine a DDR fulltime team if they buy a charter from an existing team.

The charter team is very very bad for new teams... And that's why I hate it.

NaBUru38 · 9 Dec 2024, 15:34 (Ref:4238319)

Hopefully the Indy 500 reaches 35 entries, to make Bump Day more interesting.

Ok, who has Devlin in their RLL bingo card?

https://racer.com/2024/12/09/defranc...turn-with-rll/

That's kinda out of nowhere

I think this was the key part of the article:

Quote:

“I’m very excited to be back in the IndyCar Series,” said DeFrancesco, whose package of sponsors will be identified at a later date.

NaBUru38 · 11 Dec 2024, 14:09 (Ref:4238550)

The good thing about IndyCar is the good grid size, so we can easily say "this driver doesn't deserve to get a seat", whereas in F1 we can only say "these drivers deserve deserve to get a seat".

broadrun96 · 11 Dec 2024, 20:27 (Ref:4238592)

Apparently the powers that be had a video call with the teams about new cars. Interesting who wants all new cars and who wants reuse of parts or design ideas. CGR seemed to be big on idea of reusing the suspension bits cause in guessing their development costs make them want to stay ahead and not get reset

https://racer.com/2024/12/10/indycar...d-2027-design/

Oh and garage sale time so break out your change jar

If i had unlimited budget i'd be getting some race suits and just wear them around in public.

Just saw this video of the local news covering the topic. And it struck me that one of the coolest parts might be just getting to go to their race shop

That is interesting given his past comments about his new teammate.
