Canadians have gone from getting IndyCar as part of their standard cable package to being charged either a $20 CAD upgrade fee for Sportsnet’s premium cable channel, Sportsnet World, or $27 CAD a month for SN NOW+, Sportsnet’s direct-to-consumer platform, by Sportsnet for the nine races that aren’t on NBC. The Aussies have it worse: A 60-minute highlight package on Mondays, with rumors that the Indy 500 will be seen live on FOX and its direct-to-consumer platform, Kayo. On the flip side, Sky Sports F1 is delivering the full IndyCar season, as broadcast by NBC, to England, while Latin American got the season-opener for free. Of course everybody is an expert on how television deals are made and the rationale behind it all. So is it really IndyCar’s fault that Canada got hosed? racer.com/2019/03/18/miller-time-to-quit-complaining-about-indycars-tv-deals/

^Considering the appalling (lack of) coverage of non-US motorsports here, all I can say is. They have my sympathy.

60% chance of rain on Saturday and 40% on Sunday, with the way our weather has been lately they might race in a blizzard

Kimball and DragonSpeed will be absent for COTA while Juncos are making their season debut with Kyle Kaiser while Pato O'Ward replaces Kimball.

OK, tried to sign up for the indycar nation so I can see live timing and scoring for the IndyLights practice: linky no worky. I emailed support at Indycar.com and am awaiting a reply. Any one else have a problem?
I haven't coughed up the $50 for the gold pass as yet....still thinking about that.

WTF: I go to watch some Friday practice and find they want $50 just to watch practice sessions. That's the kind of ass backwards thinking that pisses me off and turns me off.

Found a stream but the only thing going on is cleanup after a Honda blew chunks out the bottom end.

It's just another example of the extra nickel and dime crap for something I already pay for. Everybody wants something.

This is the most impressive rookie class in quite some time.
