I am not a race fan. That’s correct. I am an Indycar fan.
@champwebdotnet If you're rooting for one series to falter at the benefit of another, you're not a race fan. What F1 gets at 6am shouldn't affect Indy...

MLS and MLB have already been on AppleTV, how are those ratings?
@champwebdotnet The ways Apple can help FOM in camera and AR development will make this much bigger deal than just normal TV deal. They already innovated doing the F1 movie, now they will be on everybodies phones and get huge push, would not ve suprised if they got 1.2 M real viewers.

Wow you knew it was coming but they saw the bags of money and took it. The good news for Indycar is they won’t be seeing 1.2M viewers in the tv ratings chart for at least a few years.
Formula 1 has announced an exciting and innovative five-year partnership with @AppleTV to become the sport’s exclusive U.S. broadcast partner from 2026. This new broadcast agreement will see Apple TV in the US host all practice, qualifying, Sprint sessions, and Grands Prix. In

Sato testing is interesting
INDYCAR test Tue-Wed on the IMS oval. O’Ward and Palou to test Firestone tires with the newly repaved surface at the exit of Turn 2. Alexander Rossi and Takuma Sato will test brake and shock components under consideration.

It was the truest form of a disaster.
@champwebdotnet I was a Will Power fan. He had a decent but small chance that final race to win the championship. One of the enduring images I have of that day was Power, after the crash, bending over then looking around hurt and confused. Emotions went from competition to sadness and worry.
