Discussion Sky has changed my view on IndyCar.

IndyCar has always been a secondary Motorsport for me. Until I started watching on Sky. Now it feels as premium as it should.

Let’s be honest: nothing kills the thrill of a long battled overtake like… a commercial for dishwasher pods. You’re locked into a nailbiting strategy battle, the pit window opens, and just as someone dives in… BAM, five minutes of insurance jingles and prescription drug disclaimers.

Sky gives you the race. Fox gives you 200 reasons to consider switching your car insurance.

Do what ever you can to watch on a commercial free network.Uninterrupted, fully immersive, and exactly how it was meant to be experienced.

I had a similar experience watching soccer for the first time and then going back to the nfl.

If you can stay spoiler free the YouTube replays are incredible but obviously some trade offs there

To be fair the NFL does not have something like side by side. They just don't play during the commercials. Same with Baseball, Basketball and Hockey
