It depends how much they want to use a different layout. It would be a nice experiment, although I'm not sure it would really work in the long run.

I believe T2 and T4 currently have the most overtaking opportunities. Using either the shortcut or the chicane will greatly reduce overtaking and reduce the viewing pleasure, imho.
I love Mid Ohio. Run the main course twice and I'll be happy. Any change might add some variety, but would be a disappointment overall to me. |

Eh, that's pretty great! Sure, there will be distancing and masks, but at least, it'll be possible to attend races again. By the end of the year, or in the worst case scenario, next spring, it should be back to normal.

Bums me out as I just moved back to California a couple weeks ago and was looking forward to attending the double header at Laguna Seca (hoping they'd allow fans). Oh well, at least now I can watch Le Mans live.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdizL4on-Rc I'm currently debating purchasing the PLM tic, to secure a it if they go forward with limited tix. I'm still just not counting on much in 2020.... LS officially canceled (not sure it's been mentioned here yet): https://racer.com/2020/07/27/indycar...headers-added/ BUT hoping to get an extended deal... https://racer.com/2020/07/27/laguna-...-indycar-deal/ |

Yeah, I don't think Laguna will appear again. They still have no contract with the volunteers who run the events and sounds like they are VERY far apart without movement.

Would be a real shame to lose Laguna, Indycars is one of the few major racing series that still race there

Laguna Seca have posted this announcement on their website, regarding the cancellation of this year's race and extending the current contract, which is set to end after 2021.

Next week’s race is postponed. A shame but completely understandable given everything that’s going on.

Promoters Green Savoree Race Promotions, are looking to either September or October.

And after they just added the second race! But it is understandable and indycar wants to have fans in attendance.

And the promoters have lost the income from Toronto and Portland. They need Mid Ohio to bring in money and apparently they postponed not Indy management to get fans in the park. Can't say I blame then, losing all 4 events in a season would have to be a killer for them

Another setback for Green Savoree. Kim Green is as nice a guy as you could hope to meet, and they have been stifled since the start of the season to get an event to come off. They need spectators at the tracks to meet expenses. I hope that they can survive this year, as I would not be surprised if none of their races take place.

The Spiderman is older than me! I'm surprised he's still in IndyCar but have really grown to like the guy. Hope he can stick around as long as he wants.

But if they could move THE Speedway to Georgia. We seem to be past this thing and are open for business! |

Sad times, we’ll be lucky to see spectators back at any major sporting event at this rate. But needs must

Note to admins: your infractions and warnings won't work on me. I will continue to tell the truth on here. The whole reaction to the virus is over done and it is done 100% for political reasons to make people suffer and angry. And includes taking things away from us that we enjoy such as seeing racing in person. And angry group of people will vote in a certain direction to benefit the politicians. https://videos.whatfinger.com/2020/0...rce=whatfinger |

Obviously, if there is a deliberate attempt to derail the topic and/or posters are deliberately attacked, then posts will just be deleted. |
