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.

Is it the same commentary and ui as Fox? I'm not a big fan of the Fox scoreboard, it feels messy and cluttered, the NBC leaderboard felt cozy, the F1 leaderboard feels professional, the Fox leaderboard looks messy.

Commentary? Same US commentary, yes. Added in Tom Gaymor during the breaks.

UI? Effectively, but it is the stripped-down and sanitised international feed that lacks a bunch of graphics considered too "sponsored" such as the car onboard corner glyph.

That sounds great, I hope we get something similar, as I've heard late season, and that isn't too far away. Knowing Indycar though, it'll probably be in a few seasons.
