Yeah, I'm insanely excited about this season. I can't wait for Pocono, that's going to be great! It's a shame that they're still sticking to the spec-aero, but the new car did generally produce some great racing last year, especially on the ovals.

I'm also looking forward to the standing starts, the double headers, and Milwaukee.

And, to top it all, we should be getting that official Indycar game as part of simraceway at some point this year. I can't wait for that!

honestly I don't follow IRL, especially after Dan's passing. I always thought open-wheeled cars on ovals was a stupid idea. The only place it really works is Indy. It should just stick to road-course racing.

However, I will support my fellow country-men wherever they race. so like I said. GO HINCHTOWN

Nah, CART races on proper ovals were always great. The IRL almost ruined the formula.

This will be the first year I won't be going to the Texas race in favor of COTA races almost in my backyard. I like the fact they run on a wide variety of tracks. Makes it a huge achievement to win the title. This year Indycar will be on the same TV network as F1 here in the states so maybe that will help the ratings.

FYI.. it hasn't been called IRL in 3 years.

Oh, I know that.

But in the battle of the series, it was the IRL that 'won'. Indycar today is the direct descendant of the IRL, not of CART/CCWS.

Whatever way you look at it, the creation of the IRL brought Indycar racing from a performance level on a par with F1, to a performance level below GP2.

Ah what could have been..

We all know what the IRL did to the sport. I'm not here about that. That dog has been beaten to death.

In other news....
James Jakes has concluded a one-year deal to partner with Graham Rahal in 2013 at RLL. Rahal and Jakes will be joined by Mike Conway at only Long Beach for now.

Andretti Autosport may be signing a deal to run EJ "Crash" Visio since he has some $$.

A.J. Foyt Enterprises is looking at adding a 2nd car, no names yet.

Car count is starting to look good.

AJ Allmendinger could be set for a return to single-seater racing in IndyCar after lining up a test with Penske at Sebring on February 18-19.

"I'm so happy and feel so blessed to have a chance to test for Penske Racing at Sebring in an Indycar," Allmendinger wrote on his Twitter feed.

Reports in the press suggest that Allmendinger could be entered for the Barber Motorsports Park and Long Beach rounds plus the Indianapolis 500 if the test is a success.

I asked Marshall Pruett (via tweeter) about it and he said he checked and it's an error and will be removed shortly. Seems it's a left over from talks they had last year about doing a test and/or race. It never was actually on the 2013 Indycar schedule.

Oct 9, 2012 – IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard admitted the series has had talks with the Italian circuit, along with other potential sites.

I never did with the old car, but with the new car, the oval races are very good. No more suicidal pack racing, the drivers really have to wheel around the ovals. Races at places like Milwaukee are always good, and Pocono is on the calendar this year!

Don't give up on the ovals!

I was never much of an oval fan until I went to the Texas race a couple of years ago. I also got to go for a ride in the Indycar two seater at Texas. For an old road racing fan it was an eye opener at how intense the close racing is and how much different it is than a road course. This is why I think Indycar is the best series with it's variety of tracks (ok, 2nd to F1). Sure there is room for improvement but it's still a great show.

NBCSN has had some good cross promotion during the F1 coverage for Indycar. Hope it increases viewership. Bring on the racing boys.
