Regarding Oliver Askew’s potential for a second season in IndyCar, there is regret that he hasn’t had the opportunity to showcase his skills yet. Despite his rookie season struggles, he has shown promise and his experience in Formula E could be valuable for teams transitioning to hybrids in 2024. It would be interesting to see him in IndyCar or IMSA’s GTP next year.
As for the issue of international fans requesting autographed photos from drivers and teams, the requirement of a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) poses difficulties for fans outside the United States. It seems that international stamps are not universally accepted, creating obstacles for fans who want to receive autographed photos. This issue should be addressed to IndyCar to find a solution and expand the international fan base.
Overall, there is hope that Oliver Askew will receive a better opportunity in the future and that teams will be more accommodating to international fans’ autograph requests.
