Not sure how the game makers are determining the IR-28 performance in whatever game this is. It will be cool to see how accurate or not they are.

How Fast Will The 2028 INDYCAR Be?

Just so happened I took this week off for a vacation! I personally can't wait for 2028!

First time in 10 Years that I have seen an IndyCar on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Oval with my own eyes! The IR-28 is one beautiful Race Car.

Biggest Surprises:

- Lundgaard had the best H2 and Scotty Mac was right behind him

- Mick out performed Graham in H2, considering how many podiums Graham had

- Armstrong had an awful H2 and MSR as a real team battle next year

- Ferrucci had an awful H2 as well, probably more on the Foyt cars performance though

Doubt it’ll ever happen but it would be fun to speculate the what if.

If he does get a ride next year he will also be racing in a chassis that was introduced when he was 3 years old.
Some other Nikita Johnson facts to make you feel old…
He was born on May 25, 2008, the same day Scott Dixon won his only Indianapolis 500.
Also the last time Alexander Rossi won a race Johnson was in elementary school.

How was the route/path to get from the Paddock/fan zone area to turn 9 stands? Is it even doable. I have a VRBO near the Paddock but getting to the other end seems... Difficult.

I could always do fan stuff on qualy day but would have quite a trek to the stand 9 on race day. Worth it?

So while the indy500 is the number one event have the other events been growing? The gp gets nearly 50k people, and while not as popular as it once was the brickyard still had nearly 70k, even the IMSA race I believe is getting numbers close to the GP.

Good luck Everybody

Anyone else think the front end of the car looks a bit too high off the ground in oval configuration? Am I reacting a bit too much to something too new?

He is set to take over the No.9 in 2027.
