The FOX coverage has been amazing in the lead up to the season and for race day it’s blowing me away. I can’t wait to see what they do for the 500. Looks like I’ll have about 2.5 hours of pre-race to record on top of the race itself.

FOX feels like a much needed upgrade after NBC got stale and stopped trying last year when they were lame ducks.  Great ads, commentary seems good, new graphics, new camera angles, and better mixed audio.

I like it.  Hopefully it boosts ratings this year too.

Edit: This IR-18 is getting long in the tooth and after adding the aero screen and hybrid it really doesn’t race too well outside the Indy oval.  To be clear I love the safety of the aeroscreen, just saying it didn’t help with this old chassis.

It'd be nice if FOX could end their obsession with turning every athlete into a boardwalk caricature

5 car crash on lap one including Pagenau and Castroneves. Red flagged until they can clean it up

 

Happens in 80%+ of street circuit races.  I think it really detracts from a good product.
