Of the numerous motorsport events going on last weekend – ranging from Formula E causing mayhem around the gorgeous streets of Bern in Switzerland, chaos at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, and a Formula 2 driver banned for three virtual safety car infringements in the same race – what occurred in two races certainly caught the eye. One was a race …

The fact that Fernando Alonso and McLaren-Chevrolet failed to secure a spot as one of the fastest 33 qualifiers for the 2019 Indianapolis 500 is nothing short of an embarrassment on both parts.

While …

The first oval of the 2018 IndyCar season will take place at Phoenix (now rebranded ISM Raceway) this weekend. In what will be a celebration marking 25 years since the great Mario Andretti’s final Indycar victory in a career spanning four separate decades, there is also expectation that there will finally be a decent race on a short-track oval. Instead …

There’s a lot of change ahead of the 2018 IndyCar season. There is effectively a new car, there are exciting new teams and drivers and a return of a classic venue. However, the most intriguing change is probably the reduction in entrants for two of the series’ most powerful teams. All of these changes would imply that some of the …

For the first time in many years, Indycar will have a rich intake of fresh rookies ahead of its next season – not just in terms of drivers, but in terms of teams as well.
