I'd say it'd be borderline too cold for Portland. CotA however...Portland.

Portland.
Highly likely for 2018, if my sources for rumors are correct. The big issue for a race there is getting waivers to ease up on the local noise restrictions, because right now anything aside from Formula E would have a tough time running there.

Believe me the weather in Portland in the Spring isn't that cold, more wet and soggy lol. Been weird in recent years with the snow.
Hell yes!

Schedule looks good!
That`s a good number considering most want nothing to do with IndyCar right now because of the work that goes into hosting a race to not make much of anything. Pocono Raceway brakes even every year on the IndyCar race. When the drivers win 30,000 for winning a race they shouldn`t have to risk their life on the big ovals until that`s fixed.
Portland.
I think Portland will be back in 2018 or 2019. Rumor has it they are working on a northwest race.

I've always loved the variety and somewhat of a balance between Ovals, circuits, and street circuits we've had the calendar for the past few years. It's what made the post merge series so special imo

And in 2018 we'll be getting a champcar styled aero kit with large side pods and no air box.

First post updated with the 2018 aero kit concepts. Almost all of the downforce on the new aero kit will be generated by the underbody instead of the wings which minimizes dirty air and allows the drivers to race closer. I also love the lowered engine cover and the elimination of the air box. We'll see the finalized test aero kit built by May.
We're much closer to this classic 1995 Lola-Ford IndyCar now.

Doesn't give much info about the the events that led to the split, seems to be speculating....but I speculate the same thing basically

A couple obvious stories but stories none the less:
Firestone signs a multi year extension with the series...no idea how long though oddly.
http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/137748-indycar-multiyear-contract-extension-signed-with-firestone
And the world's most non-story, Foyt back to Chevy (which I thought we knew about since the last couple months of 2016?).

Good news, a real sponsor.
http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/137762-indycar-napa-returns-with-rossi-for-seven-races
Also Pigot to ECR for the R/S rounds in the 20 car and Aleshin in doubt at SPM.
