So that was that. The 2015 IndyCar championship did indeed get decided by the completely unnecessary usage of double points at the final round of the season at Sonoma. That is not taking anything away from the overall victor however – Scott Dixon, who at the end of the day, won more races than anybody else, and with the system …

With heavy hearts, the IndyCars head to California for the final round of the 2015 season. Following the death of the ever-popular Justin Wilson at the last round at Pocono, there will be a subdued feeling around the paddock during the weekend. However, the championship finale goes ahead as planned, and due to a completely unnecessary use of double points, …

The motor racing world is in mourning today following the sad news of Justin Wilson’s death. Whilst the statistics will say that Wilson managed just one season in F1, scoring one point, his record elsewhere was much more than reasonable. Despite having notable issues surrounding his tall six feet, four inch frame, he was able to be a fierce competitor …

After a somewhat surprising win for Graham Rahal at Mid-Ohio, the championship is as tight as it has been all season long at the very top. Rahal is just nine points behind leader Juan Pablo Montoya, with Scott Dixon 22 points behind the Columbian. However, there are a whopping 158 points still on the table, meaning that any one of …

Just two races remain on the 2015 IndyCar calendar – one classic oval and one classic road course. Whilst expected dominance from one team has failed to materialise, an unlikely title candidate emerged as the season progressed. With no driver taking more than two wins, three of the nine race winners this year have the most realistic shots at the …

Yellows breed yellows. It is commonplace in IndyCar to see multiple cautions (or full-course cautions, full-course yellows (not to be confused with the WEC version), safety cars, whatever you want to call them) in an IndyCar race, and not uncommon to see the pace car out within seconds of it coming back in after an incident. In fact, it’s one …

The Penske drought continued at Iowa, as Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay headed home Josef Newgarden and the fast-charging Sage Karam for his first win of the season, and his first top three. There was trouble for championship leader Juan Pablo Montoya hit trouble early on as he suffered a suspension failure. However Graham Rahal was able to take advantage with …

At just seven eighths of a mile, Iowa is the shortest circuit on the calendar. A test of physical strength in addition to mental strength makes the 2015 Iowa Corn 300 one of the tougher races on the calendar to get a strong result at. Another trilling race last time out at Wisconsin produced another surprise winner, but not a new one this season. Sebastien Bourdais is beginning to cement his name into the IndyCar greats with a brilliant win where he was one lap ahead of the entire field at one point. However, Penske seemed to struggle, and this is starting to allow a few underdogs to get their nose into the ring as we head into the business end of the season.

IndyCar was back to its very finest at the Auto Club Speedway, but it was not without controversy. The sometimes five-wide pack racing split opinion amongst drivers, whilst the likes of Sage Karam and Takuma Sato came under severe fire for some of their antics on the circuit. Meanwhile, Will Power managed to upset social media for the umpteenth time …

IndyCar heads to its second of three 500-mile races of the year, which makes up the IndyCar Triple Crown. The Auto Club Speedway, situated at Fontana in California has seen the championship decided on the last three occasions. However, it sits towards the middle of the season this time around, but winning the event remains just as difficult as ever. …
