And now the worst kept secret in broadcasting has been confirmed. The Mayor replaces PT at NBCSports for Indy and some IMSA coverage.

I'm all for it as long as it's tested and ready to go. St. Pete is gonna be interesting from that perspective.
I am gonna miss waving those flags vigorously though... |

It will be a different at/on track experience for all. Waving flags is quintessential motorsport, I hope they at least wave a green flag to start and a checkered at the end!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Oh NBC already have. They broke up the best package of commentary out there. Since Edwards and Harvey. |

Now that is interesting, but not really news is it?

Obviously they don't see the event as that important, but I'm sure plenty of race fans would disagree

I think they view it as possibly cancelled. And it is not helped by being on the same day as The Open in the morning and Cup race on USA in the afternoon. There really isn't space for the race on the big show or USA that day

Peacock Premium costs US$ 5 per month. It's not a fighting PPV.
In other news, ESPN is confirmed to air IndyCar in Latin America (including Brazil). It's not clear if any races will air on the linear channels, or if all will be exclusive to Star+. To be fair, that's the same situation as Formula 1. |

I was unaware there was golf and a Cup race the same day. Fair enough or possibly unfair enough. |

Toronto will almost certainly be broadcast in Canada on Sportsnet, CityTV, or another Canadian channel as it has been in recent years. That won't help non-Canadian viewers though...

Probably as much here as IMSA page, Wickens returning to the track with BHA in a Hyundai TCR

Wickens' transition from dtm was much more impressive than McLaughlin's was from Australian supercars.
