Thanks NaBUru38 for the list.
Are there any recent updates that I haven't noticed? Jordan King in a one-off for Indy, but any other full- (or part-) season updates? Quote:

Yup. Ed Jones in the #20 for all road and street courses, plus an extra entry in the 500. In other news, Fuzzy's Vodka out as sponsor for ECR: https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/n...acing/3205475/ Last edited by rwintle; 22 Nov 2018 at 19:15. Reason: reducing waffle, increasing clarity |

No, it's a previous entry with finding through an additional source COMPLETELY run by ECR. The name on the entry list hasn't even actually changed yet, the address is the same and except for the engineer is the same personnel. They can pretend but it's ECR entry without Fuzzy's on the sidepods. And Scuderia Corsa will be gone in 2 years when they **** of the paddock and start changing insane rates after letting you taste racing. ECR isn't going anywhere even after he stops driving, as long as Indy is in the schedule and a George is near the front office ECR will be the entry name

Harding still to decide on engine deal but it throws open the question about HPD's engine supply.

Seven-time NASCAR Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson, is interested in racing in IndyCar but would prefer to try a road course rather than an oval, despite numerous offers to race in the 500

His experience in the F1 McLaren must have given him a few ideas

Santiago Urrutia said he's discussing with two teams to debut at the Indianapolis 500, one of which is Juncos.

Well it seems like the answer is McLaren to run Chevy at Indy for Alonso. No mention anywhere in the article about any other team support so it sounds like McLaren will be running their own program.

Whatever happened to the talk of Dragonspeed running an Indycar programme for Ben Hanley? They seemed quite sure of it in their communication, but no sign of it yet. Dead in the water or still possible?

With their resources, buying a Dallara or three, testing, and doing it should make them mid-fielders, at least. Now, 50 years ago.... |

What would be impressive is IndyCar opening up the series to chassis manufacturers, as well as engine manufacturers.

No surprise it’s Chevrolet this time, no way Honda would supply them

If Chevrolet had supplied McLaren and they had used engineers from Andretti Autosport, which was a possibility, then there would not only have been a conflict of interest but IP rights could have been compromised.

But, on the other hand, you'd have the pleasure of another thread about a series that needed "fixing"..... |

I thought it was so more American drivers from sprint car backgrounds could race in Indycar
