It seems to be more a way to make drivers put in time in Indy Lights and make extra cash for the series. But I doubt they'd slow anyone who showed up with cash and has a racing pedigree. If a cash flush kid shows up with zero oval open wheel and no top level road course racing I think they'd involve the rules but I can't see many people who aren't Indy material not have time in a Lights car anyway. I understand, and actually think they should expand to Texas and maybe a mid oval, Indy rookie days. I don't care how much you've run anywhere else, Indy is a different animal and even Alonso thought it was very helpful if I recall correctly

Changing the question: would you like Aaron Telitz or Ryan Norman in IndyCar in 2019? Or would you prefer IndyCar to tell them that they don't have enough results in Indy Lights?

They need more results in Lights, assuming they are current Lights drivers. I couldn't tell you outside the top 3 cause they're MILES behind Herta, O'Ward, Urrutia and I've watched 4 races this season. If those 3 can't get a ride why in God's name should Norman or Telitz?

Is it silly season yet? Dixon re-signs with Ganassi, which should put an end to a few rumours:

SkySports with the unsubstantiated IndyCar rumour. Now if it actually happens, they can claim to have broken the story first: http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/124...from-formula-1 |

It's pretty obvious that's what he's going to do, he said in 2016, the Triple Crown was his goal, so I don't see how they can claim to have broken the story first. |

McLaren are already thinking of doing an Indycar programme now, so I expect to see Fred in Indycar in 2019

According to Mark Miles, McLaren is to enter IndyCar full-time with Alonso in 2019.

Sorry, I should have said "annoying for me." I'm just not a fan of Chip although I have really liked his drivers through the years.
I don't know where that rumor is from, just mindlessly spreading it. It does seem odd, but we don't know who was going to be running that team. It wasn't going to be McLaren, so maybe CGR will sign Alonso and run the car for them? That's the only connection I can make. |
