I like open-wheel American race series.
But today's Indy car is too different than where I'd like the cars to be. Too much leveling of the playing field - everyone has the same chassis, choice of two engines, the same Firestones. Allotted a buttoned-up factory production engine by lottery drawing. Don't use up your tires or you'll run out before the end of the season. Not even real open wheel anymore. No innovation. Nobody tries. Boring.
Bring back the builders and let the teams and the drivers choose the setup. Wanna run all-wheel drive? Offset driver position? Think you're better today with a turbo 4 than an normal 6?
As long as the horsepower is limited to the same top amount
and the cars are more or less the same size who gives a *****? General parameters rather than strict guidelines are American racing. Hell, there's more wiggle room in Urapeon F1 stuff than Indy today (ask Mr. Vettel).
Take a look at the list of drivers. Only 22, not even enough to fill the 33 at Indy. I might show up at Indianapolis in May and see if they have a car in 2XLT that I can drive around. Used to be that there'd be 100 cars entered in May and bump-day really meant something. I'd like to see some of the dirt-sliders back in Indy. Or some of the F1 cheese-eaters like the kind that used to come over and drive. How 'bout some of the NASCAR profiteering poofters - I don't think Kurt Busch is banned from Indy cars.
Indy car needs a re-boot. This sucks. I'd rather watch Australian supercars.
