Chilton has improved this second year in IndyCar. But apparently he has had serious arguing with Ganassi staff.

How about bourdais and Rossi to ganassi, (bourdais runs the fords at le mans), Alonso in a McLaren/andretti Honda to replace sato or Rossi, kanaan to Schmitt Peterson? Still leaves one open seat at andretti, and an open seat coyne for maybe some young talent. Maybe 3 additional cars on the grid if Chilton starts his own team as robin miller mentioned, and rahal running 2 cars? Maybe kanaan joins Chilton? If ganassi wants more youth, or if Kimball is out, maybe pigot? He deserves a full time ride. |

I wonder what is going on with Chip. There has to be something at play to park to race cars?
Miller during the broadcast said Andretti will likely stay with Honda and Rossi will stay as well. Can't see Ganassi replacing 40 year old TK with 38 year old Bourdais. In terms of replacements surely its Rosenquist, Karam or he goes after someone and tries to buy them out of a contract - Hinch, RHR or Pagenaud etc. Chilton to Carlin sounds closer by the day. |

Andretti has confirmed to stay with Honda.
Speaking of which, Brendon Hartley is rumored to join IndyCar at a Honda team like Andretti, Ganassi or Schmidt. And what about Alonso? |

According to Racer, Santiago Urrutia could enter IndyCar with a Belardi-Schmidt operation.

Rossi was announced to remain with Andretti.
http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/14...-with-andretti Sato is still believed to join Rahal. |

Could Penske be doing a u-turn on Castroneves for 2018?

Man this place is dead. So what's everyones thoughts on car counts next year?
Start with 21 this year, +1 rll with sato, +2 for a Chilton team, +1 for gabby Chavez amd his team, -1 for penske, -2 for ganassi? So 22? Or are the rumors of penske staying with 4 mean 23? Or will ganassi keep 3 or 4 cars and we end up with 24/25? I'd like to see some growth. |

Unlike other seasons, now there seems to be quite a few funded drivers.

Ganassi's confirmed dropping to 2 cars now. I was a little worried they'd go down to one. Think hart let's favourite for the second car. Hopefully they'll stop parking healthy cars now.

That's too bad, but I guess if Chilton does field a 2 car team as rumored it's not a real loss. But if penske drops to 3, we might be at the same 21 but a net loss trading helio out for chaves full season.

As for TK, he's no spring chicken but he might be just what A.J. Foyt Enterprises need. He has a lot of experience, which is something the team has sorely lacked. |

Gah blummin autocorrect. I'm not convinced that Kanaan is the person to turn around Foyt, but I suppose that something needs trying. I'm not sure which driver he'll ditch, possibly both?
A 2 car Carlin (?) team would be good, Chilton and Kimball aren't really the most exciting drivers, but it would be interesting to see if they get on any better outside Ganassi. |

Out of Daly and Munoz, I wouldn't know who to keep. Munoz finished 16th and Daly 18th and Munoz has the better record overall, so probably Munoz. |

I would keep Daly. Munoz has had more opporutnities than Daly to this point and hasn't distinguished himself. I'd like to see how Daly does with some stability. I'm not convincee of his ability, but I'm more convinced Munoz is not someone I would really miss.

If I were Kanaan, I wouldn't join Foyt's team.

Logic says its better to run 2 cars really well than 4 cars perhaps not so good... losing Target must be hurting this squad more than first thought as well. The only advantage of 2 cars in the Indy series is shared data isn't it? Pit allocation is independent for each car... so an odd number wouldn't impact a team strategically 40 technogumbies now looking for other opportunities... |
