Season 4 Suggestion Box

I think the calendar is the main part. This season has had some 'experimental' tracks that are outside the norm and I like how it's played out.

As staff I'll always be with Louis and the others looking at how things work but looking from both perspectives everything was pretty slick, punctual and the cars are great.

Yeah this series seems really good. The only thing I've got to say is that I second the Homestead Oval idea. It's too bad the season was already halfway over when I found out about TORA. Really pumped to try and run the full schedule next season.

Other than that, IndyCar is running in prestine condition. Nothing to the rules, and start time I could do the current or old time. I don't mind at all.

Good job Louis 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I can say all these tracks are going to be in there next season. Indy gp will be determined based on which of the two lay outs race the best. So come october 1st we'll find out

Awesome. Will the Indy Oval be an actual 500 miler?

Road Atlanta was alright, we had that in season 1. But it suffered from a similar thing like Silverstone just gone: the fast sections are fast and the car just doesn't like them. Coupled with the draft wash you get in the first sector and it doesn't help anything! I wouldn't mind the track but I know there's a 50/50 chance I'll chop it off or crash there!

For me, Sebring ought to feature (there's a reason lol), it's a great track. Maybe Sonoma can be the finale like it is today in the real thing.

Le Mans Bugatti is a great shout. Also I'd love to see a wet track included. Le Mans Bugatti fits that bill, as does Silverstone and maybe Nurb GP. Any of those are good ones.

They're fine to be honest! They have more grip than anything, just gotta find the most appropriate track.

The saturday before that race will be the indycar series season 4 support race. Where the field will be unlimited in size should we have that many entries and no one from the championship sits out for in case the dont qualify

Fair enough, I can dig that. I have a small suggestion, though. Why not give out some bonus points for Indy 500 performance?
I'm thinking along the lines of:

Qualifying:                        Race:

Pole - 5 pts                        1st - 25 pts
2nd - 3 pts                         2nd - 15 pts
3rd - 2 pts                         3rd - 10 pts
4th-33rd - 1 pt                   4th - 7 pts
                                       5th - 6 pts
                                       6th - 5 pts
                                       7th - 4 pts
                                       8th - 3 pts 
                                       9th - 2 pts
                                       10th - 1 pt

Not enough points to make it matter as much as a full race, so the non-qualifiers will not take a huge hit in the championship, but still giving out a little something for those who qualify and finish top 10. What do you think?

Yeah it is a little weird, I'll admit. But my thinking was that since IndyCar gives out double points and points for qualifying at the real Indy 500, this would be a way to sort of emulate that, since it wouldn't be fair to give out double for the support race, in case that was the one race you had to miss or something. I can see how it might over-complicate things, though. Just an idea I wanted to throw out.
