Your ideas to fix Indycar
I have been a quiet participant and follower of this forum. I am not naive to see that our open wheeled series has been declining in numbers. But I believe most sports and entertainment go through decline unless they are kept fresh and updated. And the current times require quicker updates as attention spans appear to be getting shorter. What I notice from some of these forums is a sense of doom for our series. I want to send out a challenge to all of you to offer your ideas to update the series, teams, drivers, etc. For example, does Indycar need to make bigger stars out of the drivers and how? How do we get more mass media's attention? I wonder if we present ideas, who will be listening and where they go? thanks.

2WD and almost Formula Libre.
Let the cars have a maximum of 600bhp as measured at a control diff housing but after that, give everyone a free run to build whatever the hell they like.
I wanna see what happens when engineers go to Crazy-Go-Nuts-University and spread engineering madness all over.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Anything is just rearranging the deck chairs of the Titanic as long as ICS is saddled with the obscure cable TV exposure. In addition, the changing demographics towards an electronic society versus a motorized society are against motor sports entirely. Racing is being thrown under the global warming bus as well as Agenda 21 which demands that no one will even have a car let alone be able to race them. I think that a new all electric formula would catch on however.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
