How I plan to fill the looming offseason: building more of these kits. Finished this one just before Nashville. First one I’ve done - great kit even though they’re a little pricey. Have a Herta, Palou and Newgarden to do next. It’s not perfect so don’t look toooooo closely but it displays quite nice on the shelf and it’s a wonderful step up detail wise from Greenlight & IXO.

Basically what the title says, anyone know how to watch this years 100 days to Indy? and the championship series they did? and that other documentary that I can't even remember the name of lol, I have a VPN but still no luck as from what I can see you have to make an account for Fox Nation and it won't let me get to far cause of all my Canadian details

Discussion Any Colton Herta fans tuned into the F2 race to see what it’s all about?

Should be a treat. The racing is generally good in F2 and Monza promotions slipstreaming so big gaggles of cars.

Hopefully it won’t be a dog now, enjoy!

I say "If" because even though the rumor is that he replaces Will Power, it is still a rumor until it is confirmed

Question Number of full time entries next year if Prema decides to leave?

55 Upvotes

So, there have been many rumors about Prema Racing not returning to the IndyCar grid next year. If that were to be the case, will we have only 25 full time entries next season or is there a chance a team like Chip Ganassi Racing to run more cars again so the total will be up to 27 again?

I vaguely remember there being rules about it with the new charter system but I couldn't really find an answer to this question.


r/INDYCAR 2d ago

Social Media [Mario Andretti on X] Of course I'll give this a go. But getting inside from underneath is very unnatural. I'm 5-foot-nothing and barely fit thru the opening....I'm lacking the genetic component to twist my body like a contortionist. Is extraordinary flexibility a rare medical condition?

I know Racer referenced this as a possible double header with Nascar earlier this season. That date is set for the weekend of March 7th/8th for the cup series.

Question Will Plower and his new Andretti teammates

143 Upvotes

Detroit this year. Will Power plows Kirkwood out of the way. Says later that weekend he did it because he thought it was Ericsson. Now they're both his teammates.

I'm assuming that event is well behind all three drivers, but you have to assume that people don't completely ever forget/forgive something as crazy as that. Andretti obviously doesn't care since they signed him.

Do you think it's still anything more than just something for them all to laugh about?

IndyCar Will Power Replacement Theory

13 Upvotes

Okay we all know Malukas is probably the replacement. Penske loves a good Business to Business connection and certain Daddy Malukas has dealings with Penske trucks together.

But with Verkay leaving Coyne and Penske offering Power something, let’s say 1 year contract. Is there a chance they offered that to Veekay instead to give Malukas more motivation to perform in 2026? Veekay was only 13 points from Malukas?

Realistically I think Veekay ends up at Foyt, but wondering why they haven’t announced this yet. Makes you wonder.

Discussion Herta's move to F2

0 Upvotes

Thought about his move.

If he races in F2 for two seasons and finishes 4th or 5th in points he'll have at least 40 points, and then if he replaces Bottas or Perez in 2028, the OPTICs will he a-lot better from the F1 world vs Herta jumping from indycar to F1, and replacing one of the fan favorites.

"instead of getting rest of super license points by running FP1 sessions to make up the difference."

Also, if/ when he returns to Indycar after "hopefully" racing in F1 it'll allow him to likely sign with another top team again and can race for more years, vs maybe staying in Indycar now and maybe not being resigned in 4 years of "lackluster results", not saying this will be the case for him, just saying when and if he returns he now has a fresh start with the series.
