Well it appears having 4 touring concerts in one weekend might have been as expensive as you would think.
https://racer.com/2022/11/30/pruett-...assive-gamble/ Iowa pricing up to triple and kids aren't free any more. Expect empty seats galore at Iowa in 2023 |

but this is the real issue i guess, instead of having other activities at a race weekend, they now have a race at a concert festival weekend? |

Is this a good thing? Er... jury's out I think. I bet there are not an insignificant number of people who will pay the $ for the concerts and ignore the racing entirely. Does that help the series? Um... who knows? |

Big bombshell today: IndyCar is abandoning plans to go to a 2.4L engine in 2024 and will stick with the existing engines for the foreseeable future.

Well and they're funding the hybrid and development not Indy. It's either hybrid or new engines, and hybrid is far cheaper.
And it sounds more and more like neither manufacturer wants to continue losing money on Indy at the rate they are. Any bets on Chevy being the we only want to support 8 cars. Hell they haven't even built up the engine yet, HPD at least had one to test a bit |

The CW has a YouTube channel so maybe it can be viewed there.

The article mentions that the show will "be supported [sic] across VICE’s global social media channels".
The Vice TV YouTube channel has 2 million subscribers (IndyCar has 337k), and some of its recent videos has over 200k views. |

Counting YouTube views is a fools errand, most can usually be shown to be heavily inflated and ANY clicks count not just watching it
If it's to be added to Vice's socials there's no chance for CW also hosting outside of OTA. |

There's to be no more SPAM, Schmidt Peterson removed from the name. Starting in 23 the team will be Arrow McLaren only. They still open a combined 25% and will be active with the team, just need new paint and overalls for everyone now. Maybe time to hit the team store and buy your discounted gear
https://racer.com/2022/12/12/arrow-m...or-rebranding/ I was kidding but things are actually on a decent discount on their page so...... https://www.mclarenstore.com/collections/indy-car |

Will Power will be running in a GT3 Mercedes at Daytona.

Think it's more Arrow McLaren can't do it this year than Larson can't
