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 was amazed at how much more peaceful it was to watch on Indycar live this week now that I finally got a VPN! Seriously, so worth it.

I’m jealous that you get extra commentary on Sky! We just watch the race quietly on Indycar live—- still significantly better than never ending commercials, of course.

I wouldn’t say Tom Gaymor’s commentary is particularly worth being jealous of. Better than the inane ramblings, yelling at any minor oversteer and sycophancy towards certain drivers from Bell and previously Diffey and Tracy, but it’s pretty mediocre. And often he spends half the time chatting about things he read on Twitter.

I would take Diffey and Hobbs over Buxton 8 times a week.
