MP 967: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 23, Listener Q&A Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

It's Part 2 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show as we prepare for the season file using listener-driven questions submitted via social media.

A sampling of the submissions:

"With the condensed offseason due to Covid, is there more pressure on teams to have a solid season finale to help kickstart their 2021 campaigns? I’m sure there’s still a great deal of silliness left in this offseason, but do you see anything results wise to truly affect seat movement for 2021 with the finale?"

"How close are we to a Scott McLaughlin deal being announced? His reaction after Bathurst seemed to suggest he's pretty confident of a full season next year in IndyCar."

"Lately we've been hearing about some drivers burning off the rears too quickly. Herta in particular, but others as well. I assume some of this is the diff settings on non-ovals. What else enters into it?"

"What will be series biggest priority in the offseason? Third engine supplier? Updated rules package for next season especially on aeroscreen? Potential chassis remake? Attempt to add more ovals tracks in 2022 to even Roger buying one?"

MP 966: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 22, Listener Q&A Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

It's Part 1 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show as we prepare for the season file using listener-driven questions submitted via social media.

A sampling of the submissions:

"What do we believe came first. A handshake agreement between McLaren and Rosenqvist or the article on Oliver Askew?"

"Who is in line for the Rosenqvist seat at Ganassi? Is that going to be Jimmie Johnson's part-time effort now?"

"I was brought to the sport when Felix Rosenqvist came over from formula E. Now with António Félix de Costa testing with RLL in November what do you think are the odds he'll make the switch to IndyCar soon?"

"If the IMS Museum decided to give you one of the cars in their collection, which would you pick and why? Thanks!"

"I know Dixon is the Ice Man but St Pete and him seem to have more unpleasant memories than good ones. Is there any extra talking up or motivation you or the team have given him this week?"

MP 959: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 13, Listener Q&A Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

It's Part 1 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show as we dive into a bunch of questions submitted via social media.

A sampling of the items posed this week:

"Do you have any more details on the Askew situation? Was Oliver's contract a multi-year and he is being fired, or are they choosing to not resign him? Externally it is looking like Arrow or AMSP has some thin skin. Two drivers fired in two years for things they didn't like. The whole thing seems like a mess."

"Do you believe that there will be a third OEM in IndyCar for the 2023 season when the new engine/chassis specs hit the track?"

"MP, the announcement of Indy Lights returning next year was huge sigh of relief, and I really like the aspect of the top 3 championship finishers testing in IndyCar at the end of the year. This concept is definitely cool, but with the series current climate of more drivers than available seats, I don’t see a test doing much good moving many drivers up the ladder."
