Your ideas to fix Indycar

[giucanbera]

Indycar will not get any bigger if they just ADD your favorite circuits to the future schedule. Neither aerokits or more faster cars (Remember that Dario and Tony ASKED for a little bit slower car because of Dan's death)

The real ideas to fix the series are:
1) ESPN for all races with NO conflict with Nascar
2) Get a new titlle sponsor with lots of extra money (and 'know how') to invest and promote the series. (like RedBull, CocaCola, HotWheels)

A title sponsor who activates more than Izod ever did, though they did do a bit in the first year and a half, would be a plus. Also difficult to come by given the audience/market they would be reaching. A little chicken with your egg anyone?

From a marketing standpoint I say rent out kiosks at every major shopping mall within 300 miles of an IndyCar event and have video screens play highlights and run driver profiles with cool music and maybe a DW12 mockup . Then have website, track and ticket info for all the events for that particular geographic area's IndyCar events.

People need to see how great this product is. They really do.

This shouldn't be that expensive to do.

The only way to fix Indycar is to sell it. There seem to be too many decisions made for personal reasons by the current owners, rather than what's good for the business.

I got news for you. Indy cars are harder to drive than f1, the series races on more diverse tracks and the indy car champ gets the champ title from winning on his own not some manufactured team orders not allowing team mates to race each other.

Keep repeating that over and over again and then maybe somebody besides the 250k who watch it on TV and the 20K average race attendees will believe you.

BTW Mike Conway was a back Marker in GP2 and he won a IndyCar race......so what does that tell you?

Back markers win races in GP2?

How about sell the Tittle of the Indy500? (Lucas Oil Indy500) Or even the IMS name (RedBull Indianapolis Motor Speedway)
It could bring some extra money into the series and the IMS ehh??... This could be a good thing, right?

Without knowing the particulars of who he was driving for and the competitiveness of the equipment he had in GP2, what does that tell us? Zero, nada, zilch, zip. But I am pretty sure you knew that already.
