Ya and if the Glazer family went bankrupt b/c of their exorbitant amount of debt and had to sell off players then that would be just as detrimental to the club wouldn't it? You could sit here and make up hypotheticals all day long, but what a club owner chooses to do w/his club is entirely up to him. If he doesn't

If a club is bought out by a Sheikh and the fans of that club lucky enough to have the new owner inject capital into it and make it a contender, then who's business is that but their's? Are you seriously advocating that the only way for a club to move itself up through the ranks is through a painfully slow methodical

Really? B/c Carmax operates under the no haggle pricing model and they're a $7billion company..

You make a good point on the streaming issue, but you can't really blame the networks though. They're stuck in their antiquated ways in order to protect their interests. They want people tuning in to their station to watch the race, not going online to stream it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be feasible for them to buy the

They're kind of already on it. Both Bernie and the FIA say they're working on the issue. The bad part is that the FIA has clearly stated that they won't raise the fuel flow limits, so they'll have to find some other way to make the engine notes sound more fierce. I'm sure w/all of the technical brilliance they have at

I think they had a great opportunity to allow the Panoz DP01s run in the series when they merged w/Champ Car. Unfortunately Tony George thought it a better idea to make all the CC teams run the hideous Dallara Indycars (which he heavily subsidized). I think they wasted a golden opportunity there to gain more momentum.

A lot more matters than just the racing being good. Sure, that's a HUGE part of it, but that's only one part of the formula. It doesn't matter how good the racing is, not many people want to watch a spec series.

The TV deal is not as bad as people make it out to be. There are plenty of programs that are on cable networks that pull far higher ratings than Indycar does. Indycar needs to stop using the excuse of having a shitty tv deal as the reason the series isn't more popular. Multiple races are on ABC (whose coverage at

I don't really get how you're saying an open engine formula wouldn't work when WEC is doing practically that very same thing now? The P1 category has a V4 twin turbo hybrid (Porsche), a turbo diesel (Audi), and a V8 naturally aspirated (Toyota). All of which are vastly different engines, but are balanced by the amount

Yes exactly. WEC's P1 category has a V4 twin turbo hybrid (Porsche), a turbo diesel (Audi), and a V8 naturally aspirated (Toyota). Those are all vastly different engines, and all abide by the WEC's rules. Why can't F1 teams be open to the same freedoms of engine development?

I don't believe that's accurate. I remember while watching Le Mans last year that one of the announcers mentioned that Audi's budget was around 100mil. And Porsche's new LMP1 program had north of 200 people working on it, which equates to probably a very large budget.

We're never going back to that era my friend. People need to let go of the notion of V12s, V10s, or even V8s ever being in F1 again. The thing people don't realize is that these V6s the series runs now are capable of being much faster, and sounding much better. The problem however is that the FIA has seriously

The 24 is where you'll get the most press for the Viper, wouldn't you think that if anything Chrysler would *want to go to that race more than any other? Makes 0 sense to pull out of that event, especially since the Porsche LMP1 and Nissan Zeod are gonna be there. The race is gonna get a ton of press. Not to mention

Chris Christy is such a that fat useless piece of shit. How are people seriously considering that disgusting pig as a frontrunner for the 2016 presidential race?

For the love of god, stop w/the F'n street races. There are circuits w/history and heritage that F1 could and should go back to (Donington, Magny Cours) instead of lame ass street circuits in countries nobody cares about.

Literally everything Chevy/GMC. GM created two different brands that literally put out the same exact vehicles. And people wonder how they went bankrupt..

How is this series still around? There's 20 yellows each race, the cars are slow, the races are 5 hours long, most of the drivers are meatheads that don't hesitate to put someone into the wall at 200mph potentially killing them, and the rulebook is a joke. Can someone please explain?

I'm sure very ineffective. Have you ever heard anyone EVER say that they were going to purchase a vehicle b/c it won a Sprint Cup race? Ya, me neither. That whole mentality of "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" is long gone. Consumers today don't determine which vehicle they're going to buy based off of how successful

Why? Simply b/c they sponsored the track? That might be the stupidest logic I've ever heard.
