There has been a lot of activity on the IndyCar front, lately. Both aero kits have now been made public and we are now seeing them in familiar looking liveries. One more full-time seat has been filled and a part-time ride we had been hearing about was confirmed at least for the season-opening race at St. Petersburg. Bands have now been confirmed for Legends Day and Carb Day for the Month of May.

A Long-Time Debate In Racing
Posted in IndyCar on March 4, 2015 by Oilpressure
One of the longest running debates in racing is whether or not it is better to have a good part-time ride or a full-time ride with a so-so team.
