Hulman and Co CEO Mark Miles has completed the formation of the leadership team that will steer the company's motorsport division, which includes the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Re: 2014 Silly season
Speaking of new engine suppliers.
Cosworth engineers were in the pits at Mid-Ohio this year, so I asked!
Will Cosworth be back in Indycar in 2014.
The response was that is their goal.

Re: 2014 Silly season
Who owns Cosworth these days? Is it still Kevin? I am guessing they would have to find a "dance partner" in this as they have done in the recent past.

Re: 2014 Silly season
That's an affirmative from me. I remember looking at the wiki page thinking "Huh, finally Castroneves is going to win a title." I can't say I was surprised to hear that Dixon had won. "As if Castroneves was going to win it. 14 years (In a Penske) and counting". He's underachieved with that team.
I did see some footage of the series ending race. I was stunned, despite having low expectations in the first place, of how small the crowd was! Barely more than the attendance for amateur level races in Australia! Tony George has done a fantastic job ruining Indy racing. When does he get his commission from Nascar?

Re: 2014 Silly season
I think the general problem is that this forum seems to be dying down/out for reasons unknown….
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
