Just make the Indy 500 a Silver Crown race. Problem solved.

Sounds aside, if you read the articles on racer.com, Some of the fans' comments were interesting. Is Honda wanting to get out to spend more time, effort, and dollars on F1? What might GM do if they are eventually "allowed" into F1 with Andretti and eventually as an engine supplier? A third supplier is not an option right now. It will also be interesting to see how this hybrid system performs early on in 2024 after the 500. If reliability rears its head, all of the teams have the same system. Hopefully this aspect of the formula will be a smooth transition.

IndyCar outside of the 500 is minor league Formula 1.

A spec engine is fine as long as the supposed cost savings result in much larger car counts. It’s absolutely pathetic that there are not 50+ cars attempting to qualify for the Indy 500.

I don’t think it is necessarily GM’s vision to be all electric, it the governments vision for GM to be all electric. Consumers certainly aren’t there at this point.

I did not know a Detroit company builds the Chevy Indy car engine. And puts Chevy on the valve cover. And does anybody know who owns Ilmore? I think it started long ago in England. Alot of history here that affected racing.

No matter what, racing is not like it used to be (when there was 55+ cars). It doesn't mean as much as it used to; to be part of smthn. There are more options to race in a division where people think they can win (countless sports car classes, etc).
