In response to a question about IndyCar’s future, Marshall Pruett acknowledges that it’s not all doom and gloom for the series. He believes that the upcoming season will be exciting, with talented drivers and competitive races. However, there are questions about where the series is headed and what it wants to be. He also mentions that IndyCar team owners no longer speak as openly as they once did.
Another question asks about the potential of Formula E as a solution to IndyCar’s challenges. Pruett explains that IndyCar is going hybrid, not all-electric, to align with the auto industry market. While Formula E has improved in terms of competition, it hasn’t gained a significant following. He suggests that IndyCar should stick to its current hybrid path rather than going all-electric for the sake of eco-marketing.
The Mailbag also features a question about watching races, and Pruett suggests checking out opportunities for vintage racing events in Australia.
These are just a few highlights from the RACER Mailbag, providing insights and opinions on various topics related to motorsports.
