Or they could run a better track than Houston. The Glen anyone? Staaahhp going to Detroit, St. Pete, Houston, and Toronto. I'd rather see Richmond back than those
 
Since I now have NBC Sports Network, I can now see more of the races instead of only hoping for races to be on ABC/ESPN. With that said, I'll look forward to yet another season of insanity that only IndyCar can provide. Bring on St. Petersburg (Florida)!
 
It's not going to happen. Ron Walker has made it known that he was retiring from the AGPC this year. He's only voicing his displeasure because he's good friends with Bernie Ecclestone, and Ecclestone has been a vocal critic of the engine sound, but he was not present in Melbourne.
 
They would be fools not to consider it.Throw in Penske's interest in V8's and his trucking deals in Australia this would be an easy deal to arrange for a fraction of the cost with better racing.

With the condensed schedule running Surfers again would be tough.The 6-7 weeks off would be hard for the teams to deal with.

I would keep St. Pete, but I would replace Houston with Circuit of the Americas, Detroit with Michigan International Speedway, and Toronto with Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.
 
Even if they did decide to switch, there is no guarantee IndyCar will want to go back to Australia as plenty of small teams are on shaky financial ground without the cost of shipping everything to Australia.

Also, here is a good article by Marshall Pruett.

Haven't seen the video, but I am VERY much a fan of Paul Page and his commentary. That is going to be great to hear his voice again covering IndyCar. Me gusteria.

I am certainly stoked to check out the new season of IndyCar Series racing. No matter who your favorite drivers and teams are, I wish all the teams and drivers the very best of luck. Drive hard, be safe, have fun, and most of all... good luck to all teams and drivers this season- including your favorite(s).
 
Can they black flag Power for that? That was a terrible move that shouldn't have been allowed.
