Fox 4k HDR feeds?

Fox has produced NFL, college football, college basketball, and baseball games in 4K HDR. The feeds are available on some streaming service or through their app.

Is their any chance they give the 4k HDR treatment to IndyCar or The 500 at the very least?

IndyCar on Tubi?

Does anybody know if IndyCar will be on Tubi? I saw that they are showing the SuperBowl, I did a little more research and Tubi has Fox, Fox News, and Fox Sports. I didn’t see FS1, but could this be a better alternative?

Another F3500-A livery for GT7. Palau’s Chrome American Legion

These aren’t easy to create in Gran Turismo 7 but are a ton of fun! This one has been shared too-just search “Palou”. I’m open to criticism or ideas. Might try Will Power livery next. Cheers!

Friday at Long Beach

Hi everyone,

Once again I am posting here for advice, this time it’s about Long Beach. I was wondering if going on Friday is worth it?

I’ve previously been to Laguna Seca with my dad and Friday is always fun because we bring out bikes and ride around the track when it’s less crowded. But I’m going to be solo and without my bike (since they’re not allowed inside) and I’m wondering if it’s worth taking an extra day off work for it?

Thanks in advance!

I need to swap Indy 500 Parking passes.

Our plans for the Indy 500 have changed, and I have a Turn 4 Infield Lot parking pass that I’d like to swap for a pass in Lot 6A, Lot 9, or Lot 2.

If you’re interested in trading, let me know. Thanks!

I made a Herta inspired livery in Gran Turismo 7 for the F3500-A

With the recent update to GT7 adding the F3500-A and the anticipation I decided to play around and make this livery

Who would win Pay Driver of the Year Award?

I think there should be a pay driver of the year award, just like rookie of the year. The current candidates are:

  • Devlin DeFrancesco - RLL - Placed 22nd and 23rd in two years at Andretti Steinbrenner
  • Kyffin Simpson - Chip Ganassi - 21st last year, best yearly Indy NXT finish 9th in points 2022
  • David Malukas - AJ Foyt - Best finish 2nd and 3rd at Gateway, yearly in 16th place with Dale Coyne
  • Sting Ray Robb - Juncos Hollinger - 20th last year
  • Jacob Abel - Dale Coyne - Finished in 2nd place last year Indy NXT
  • Nolan Siegel - Arrow Mclaren - 3rd place Indy NXT 2023, 7th at Gateway last year.

Who do you think is going to be best of this crowd next year?

My bet would be >!David Malukas with Jacob Abel as a wildcard!<

edit: fixed David Malukas' team

edit2: I never said anything negative about pay drivers, I pay to race within my budget. I grew up around racing and have seen grown men pull shenanigans to fund their racing habits. With regards to Conor Daly, I've seen his YouTube, it's clear he has a talent for pressing the flesh with sponsors and getting them onboard. I consider that part of racing.

Visiting Barber 2025

I am planning on taking my family (including a couple kids aged 7 and 10) to Barber this year. We are all F1 fans and are slowly getting into Indycar. This will be our first race in person other than local dirt tracks.

We plan on hitting up the museum and watching as many support races as we can. Will likely be getting a hotel and driving in every day.

  1. Is visiting for the full weekend a must?

  2. I’ve heard that the backstretch is a great place to set up…do we need to get there early Friday to get a spot or would Saturday be ok?

  3. Are the other more premium passes worth it?

Walk On's Sports Bistreaux and there’s a suite option by race control.

  1. I’ve also noticed that there’s an option to prepay for a tent/set up but it’s in different part of the track…is this a good idea or should we just bring our own things and set up on the backstretch.

  2. I can’t find an actual schedule yet. I’m assuming that will be posted closer to the event?

Monday/time is really not a factor here. I’m basically asking what you guys would do to have the best possible time at Barber.

Thanks!

Fox Sports or FS1 same day race stream in the US?

I'm probably not the only one in this circumstance: it's great that the races are going to be on broadcast tv, but I often watch them the same day on tape delay (I'm generally doing things outside during the day on Sundays). Peacock made this fairly easy, I could even just start the race a bit late and catch up. What will the options be with Fox? I know I could get Indycar Live All Access through a vpn, but will Fox or FS1 have the race available for a day or so? Hoping there's an easy answer to this.

WWE champion Cody Rhodes kisses the bricks at IMS

https://x.com/wewantcody_/status/1885458912784023647?s=46&t=qWe9NiqjXTTJTkNQ4U1jgQ

Funny thing is Josef Newgarden reminds me of Cody Rhodes. Still as both an Indycar and a wrestling fan this is awesome to see.

Has there ever been talk of an Indianapolis street course?

I know this might be as well received as the Indy GP race 2, but I think it would be cool to have all 3 styles of Indycar racing in Indianapolis! I think it’d be so cool to see the cars race around the monument. You KNOW Indianapolis would host a helluva race!

Indycar live USA. All races available after 24 hours

I received a message today in my email, and it looks lIke all the races will be available after 24 hours now in the US.

i still need to figure out if I can subscribe in the USA, but still watch live races via vpn. Did that work last year, or do I need to subscribe from a foreign country first to get the all access instead of the access USA tier?

Sorry, Reddit won't let me link the website with the signup/info.

Louis Foster honored by peers with Graham Hill Trophy for “British driver with the most meritorious performance in single-seater racing”

Foster’s tweet about the award: “Thank you to @BRDCSilverstone for awarding me the Graham Hill trophy. I'm very proud to represent the UK in America.

My apologies for not being able to be in London with you all today, as I am preparing for my debut year in INDYCAR here in Indianapolis.

See you all soon!”

INDYCAR.com write up on Foster’s award: “NTT INDYCAR SERIES rookie Louis Foster was named as the recipient of the Graham Hill Trophy from the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) on Thursday, Jan. 30 in London.

The BRDC presents the award, named in honor of 1966 Indianapolis 500 winner and two-time Formula One World Champion Graham Hill, annually to the British driver “with the most meritorious performance in single-seater racing.” This covers all global open-wheel series, including Formula One, Formula E, Formula 2, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, INDY NXT by Firestone and more.

Gateway or Newton?

Last year I went to both, and was really underwhelmed with Iowa’s short oval both as a race and as a venue. It’s seemingly praised by both drivers and fans, but hopefully last year was just an off year for the track. Tickets also felt pricey for what we got. However I had a great time at Gateway in St Louis. Venue and race were both great for the money imo. I got the feeling Gateway is somewhat underrated? Anyway, if you could only go to one this year, which would you pick? I think I’m leaning Gateway myself
