  1. It’s a wonderful motor sport and truly missed in Indianapolis. Hopefully the gang at IMS will bring it back in the future. Really missed opportunity for the city. So much $$$ in the sport. The track in next year in Miami sucks compared to what we have to offer.

    1. F1 at Indy was never exciting. Our road course isn’t good layout for F1 in my opinion. I also don’t think we have the urban landscape or street conditions to make a city street race viable. I’d prefer to have a regional race in Nashville than what they would try to shoehorn at IMS.

  2. Intrigue is good and cars and drivers are unbelievable but give me Indy Cars all day long for competitive racing. There’s something kinda nice not knowing which of a few cars can actually win
