While there is no actual racing, IndyCar and iRacing are to hold six virtual race events.

The state of Indiana has issued a new order that will go into effect on Wednesday. It requires all residents to stay at home through April 7 and that includes many of the IndyCar racing teams, who are based in Indianapolis.

IndyCar is also still looking to run the 500; being it's top priority. Not much in actual news out there, but the most recent headlines indicate they want to run it, but it won't be in May.

It's a month of events and I'd guess more than a few sponsors would understand missing races to get that race on. By the end, or a break, of this people will be screaming for things that feel "normal" and Indy may not be known well to all it's still a big event. I'd be surprised if viewership was not insane

If it can delay the race for a day or two due to the weather, then I’m sure it can delay it for a couple of months

Well the situation in America is looking the worse than most countries, so let’s see if we can get the greatest spectacle in racing underway come August

Sigh.... that was the last holdout before the detroit gp I was planning on going to and taking my dad to. Feel like a war general seeing all defense posts fall one by one.

No double points for the season finale. However, whether we get a season of any description is academic at the moment.

This weekend would have been Round 2 of the 2020 season, at Barber. However, there is an iRace at Barber, which starts this at 2:30pm ET, Sunday.
I'm not particularly interested in iRacing but if someone wants to start a thread, that covers the iRacing season, feel free to do so. |

Somebody should come up with a good joke about virtual racing vs IRL racing.
One thing is certain: virtual racing is safer in these times, if it's not held at a convention. Take good care everybody. |

Scott McLaughlin won the Barber round of the IndyCar iRacing Challenge. He streamed live at Twitch.

I think he will be just as impressive when he gets to drive the real thing.

I don’t understand why nobody other than mclachlan pitted before the safety car if it was a planned caution period. It seems like the obvious strategy?

With now doubleheaders at Iowa and Leguna Seca plus a second road race at Indy. I question whether the series' plans going forward are realistic — I'm not convinced the parts supply chain can handle that many races over such a short period of time. Also, why the fixation on holding 15 races? |
