I’m not a fan of ovals though. I find them boring.
Next race is at COTA so we’ll get to see Indy and F1 race the same track for the first time in a while.
I’ve got a soft spot for Indy because it was my first exposure to Motorsport. I was at the 93 Toronto race when Paul Tracy won. It’s too bad the series suffered so many behind the scenes problems in the 90s and 00s. But i feel like they’ve gone the right direction recently to keep costs low and make the focus on the drivers and racing.

Yep, for me Indy represents racing that is FAR more defined by the quality of the driver than F1. I'll always remember Greg Moore...RIP. My first real racing hero (and Villeneuve). I went to a bunch of Indy's in Vancouver and Edmonton. Even worked for Indy as a scrutineering volunteering for a few races.
