Confirmed drivers?
I am trying to figure out what the teams will look like. I thought indycar.com had confirmed drivers but I see Mike Conway listed as RLL and I don't see evidence of that anywhere.
Is this really the true list??

Jackmart:
I took a quick look. I think its pretty accurate. The only thing it fails to do is differentiate Conway (who is Long Beach only) from the full-season entries.Brian Carroccio

So it looks like the following still need a ride
Ryan Briscoe
Rubens Barrichello
Justin Wilson
EJ Viso
I'm shocked about Briscoe to be honest.

Barrichello's in Brazilian stock cars now. Wilson will very likely stay at Coyne. Viso will probably end up at Andretti. Briscoe's still unclear - he might end up with a full time seat somewhere like Dragon, or it could be a partial season or Indy-only entry elsewhere, HVM?

Not shocked about Briscoe. With the best team in the sport he won one race over the past two seasons. He apparently doesn't have any backing, and there are very few seats out there that don't require some sort of funding from the driver.

Viso will be confirmed at Andretti this week.
Barrichello is not coming back to the series, as previously announced.
Briscoe will likely land at Foyt (they are looking at a second car), Coyne, Penske or Ganassi.
Wilson has yet to sign with Coyne, and would love to jump to Penske (where he lost out to Power a feew years back), Ganassi, and possibly Foyt (who wnated him last year).
Coyne always get his deals done late, and will pay one good driver, and accept funding from another. He should be running two cars again.Green, Green, Green!

From Auotosport:
2013 IndyCar Series line-up so far:
Team Engine Drivers
AJ Foyt Racing Honda Takuma Sato
Andretti Autosport Chevy Ryan Hunter-Reay/James Hinchcliffe/Marco Andretti/EJ Viso
Bryan Herta Autosport Honda Alex Tagliani
Chip Ganassi Racing Honda Dario Franchitti/Scott Dixon/Charlie Kimball
Dale Coyne Racing Honda tba/tba
Dragon Racing Chevy Sebastien Bourdais/Sebastian Saavedra
Ed Carpenter Racing Chevy Ed Carpenter
KV Racing Technology Chevy Tony Kanaan/Simona de Silvestro

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda Graham Rahal/James Jakes
Sarah Fisher Hartman Honda Josef Newgarden
Schmidt Peterson Honda Simon Pagenaud/Tristan Vautier
Team Penske Chevy Will Power/Helio Castroneves
Wilson, Briscoe and Legge in the wings. Foyt was still trying to be a two car team as well, so the car count is a bit better than expected.
One-off entries:Mike Conway - Rahal Letterman Lanigan - Long BeachCarlos Munoz - Andretti Autosport - IndianapolisChase Austin - AJ Foyt Racing - IndianapolisGreen, Green, Green!

Legge's suing Dragon and TrueCar for breach of contract now. I don't really know the details behind what's gone on, but it does seem like Dragon have handled the whole saga quite badly.
Still, the grid size and quality is a lot better than I was expecting for this year, and there's still a couple more cars likely to be added. Not sure I'll actually get to watch any of it though, thanks Sky. Um, is torrenting legal if there's no other way? Not that I'd have the first idea where to get it!

I can't believe Ryan is out at Penske. How did Helio keep his ride? two seasons ago he finished 11th in points. Ryan is one of my favorite drivers it will be hard to watch without him in the mix. Check out this article
