MP 956: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 9, with Will Power Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

Following his win at the second Harvest Grand Prix race in the No. 12 Team Penske Verizon Chevy, Will Power returns to The Week In IndyCar show to answer a variety of fun and insightful questions submitted by fans via social media.

A sampling of the items posed this week:

"Out of all your Penske teammates in the last decade and a bit, who would you say has been the toughest to beat?"

"Will, how did you feel when iRacing muted you on the All Teams chat? You were so funny to listen to."

"Mr. Power, would you rather be chasing someone down in closing laps for the win, or managing a healthy lead like you did on Saturday? What’s the hardest part from a driver perspective about leading so much of a race?"

"You can pick one piece of music for Colton Herta to play on the drums. What piece is going to tell you whether he’s any good or a poser?"

MP 955: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 8, Listener Q&A Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

It's Part 2 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:

"More on the Leaders Circle $1m please. How do the three teams approach St. Pete? Marco has to be aggressive, take strategy risks, but do Foyt and ECR play it safe? Especially ECR. Do they bolt on a 'safe' setup so the car isn't a handful, pit early in the windows, and tell Conor to just bring it home?"

"Does Scott Dixion wish the season ended on road course or oval vs street course? Understand it's his championship to lose but I feel Newgarden will have the advantage. As he has two killers for teammates vs Dixon has hit or miss Felix and Ericsson hasn't been strong at all to help. Couple with Dixon unusual qualifying slumps last few rounds could lead him starting mid-pack. Which means he could be in #dangerzone in concrete canyons. Your thoughts?"

"Couple weeks ago you mentioned Juan Montoya had talked to a couple teams about returning to IndyCar, do you have anymore news on that front? Do you happen to know if its for a full time or part time ride, and whats you opinion on what team(s) you think he'd be a good fit for?"

MP 954: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 6, Listener Q&A Oct 06, 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:

"The new schedule to me is very lackluster. I feel like IndyCar should be expanding into new markets, similar to what the new NASCAR schedule is doing, instead they have a shrinking amount of ovals. Could IndyCar maybe purchase an Iowa or a Kentucky or a Chicagoland and invest in those tracks' future? Or is this an ignorant thought?"

"What would you grade the replacement’s (Bourdais, Castroneves, and Hinch) performance this weekend? Do you think Helio and Hinch did well enough to earn a job next year?"

"It is not my place to tell teams what they should spend money on but with the hard date for new engines + KERS in 2023, wouldn't that be the lowest cost time to switch to a new chassis instead of reworking the stock of existing chassis to fit the new engine package only to scrap them a few years later anyway?"

"Do long, smoky NHRA-style burnouts leaving the pits hurt tire life through the stint? When the the driver complains about the rears losing grip I think 'should have taken better care the first 3 seconds you had ‘em.'"

MP 953: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 1, Listener Q&A Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

It's Part 2 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:

"It's safe to assume that Oliver Askew has been racing with concussion related injuries since the Indy 500. Does him not telling his team now put him in bad light with the team? Should he have been more upfront about his injuries?"

"AMSP, CGR, and Penske are all currently projecting an additional entry in 2021. How many do you think end up happening for a full season?"

"Looking to next year, are there any technical changes to the cars?"

MP 952: The Week In IndyCar, Oct 1, with Sebastien Bourdais Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Ahead of his first race for A.J. Foyt in the No. 14 Chevy, Sebastien Bourdais returns to The Week In IndyCar show to discuss the challenge ahead, sports car racing, and a variety of other goodies, all powered by questions submitted by fans via social media.

A sampling of the items posed this week:

"Seb-whats your focus for the rest of the year finishing the season strong as opposed to kicking off next year with the same team?"

"What are some of the biggest hurdles of driving a GT car one week, DPi after that, and an Indy car the next?"

"Seb any chance you'll be part of a French Hypercar or lMDh effort at Le Mans? Or isn't that compatible with your Foyt campaign?"

MP 950: The Week In IndyCar, Sept 29, Listener Q&A Sep 29, 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 (Q&A begins at the 2m40s mark in the episode):

"What actually happened to Zach Veach? I doubt he willingly stepped aside for the rest of the year to help the team prepare for next season, he seems like a great guy, but I don’t think any racing driver no matter how nice they are would willingly do that. As a Canadian I’m very happy to see Hinch back in the car, what are his odds of being in that seat, or at least that organization for next season?"

"Do you think that Sergio Perez could make the transition to IndyCar, now he has been replaced by Seb Vettel at Aston Martin in F1 #mepersonally he would fit in well at SPAM with Pato O'Ward and brings investment to the team."

"Due to the lack of Indy Lights this year, do you think this will give the current crop drivers higher chance not being replaced, or will teams spend more time considering options from F1 / sports car championships?"
