Indycar needs its own thread too!

The first race this weekend is the Honda Grand Prix in St. Petersburg. I think it's on at noon on the NBC sports network. I usually forget when it's on that channel, but this thread should help me remember. Are you planning to watch or attend? Do you attend any Indycar races?

I only attend the Baltimore GP because its the closest and I'm a fan of the ALMS. I also enjoyed the Indy car race. Im planning to attend it again this year and follow the sport this season.

Any big departure from the DW12 this year? I guess new ground effects packages, right?

Hopefully Hunter-Rheay can pick up where he left off last year.

The Go Daddy car in victory lane....nice. Before she got burned at Texas a few years ago, there was some background chatter that DeSilvestro is actually pretty good - just no hype. With no hype, there's no pressure. Hopefully she does well.

Yep good to see Hinchcliffe get a win in the Go Daddy car before Danica. It was a pretty good race, too.

Upcoming Indycar race this weekend, here is the NBCSportsNetwork schedule:

Honda Grand Prix of Alabama from Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.

Honda Grand Prix of Alabama, Qualifying
Sat 4/6 5:00PM-6:00PM (Eastern)

Firestone Legacy Indy Lights 100
Sun 4/7 2:00PM-3:00PM (Eastern)

Honda Grand Prix of Alabama
Sun 4/7 3:00PM-6:00PM (Eastern)


Watched last race, the race was reasonable given the track. I am not usually a fan of street courses as they tend to be narrow, no-passing crashfests and that track more than most. The schedule this year is 16 races with 7 street courses, 6 ovals and only 3 actual road courses.

Since I don't watch ovals, that makes a 10 race season for me, and I may skip some of the street races as well. I've never cared for Long Beach, either.
