This forum literally scares me when an F1 race has just finished. There must be so much pent up rage out there looking for a place to release itself! Anyway it's good to have IndyCar back on my TV screen erm... web feed

Leigh Diffey. He's done Speed's Grand-Am and AMA road racing coverage the last few years. Isn't Jon Beekhuis Swiss or something?

Last year was a pretty contact-free race for some reason.Everyone remembering Dan Wheldon, lack of spare parts for the new Dallara were mentioned as Reasons. I'm sort of expecting a little more aggression from the drivers today.

Mmm - you could call it that - but I haven't watched the series since the 90s - and I think, troll or not, most would have to admit that Indycar is a shadow of what it used to be...

And - crikey - are those cars ever ugly! We heard about it with the stepped noses in F1 - but those were a drop in the bucket compared to the love handles those Indy cars have on 'em.
