I know IndyCar needs people to watch the actual race, but another good thing is that the IndyCar YouTube channel puts out a 30min race highlight package the day after each race. All the good stuff, no ads, in and out in a half-hour. Also, I think IndyCar might not be spending marketing $$ because they're hoping Bus Bros on Josef Newgarden's channel will do the work for them.

You should definitely cover their races, the full season, as you do with F1. A second channel perhaps.

I love seeing Indycar start to gain wider attention.

Great video Will I like the genuine approach you have to the series. A reminder also that the feeder series of Indycar the NXT series will also be broadcast this year on sky sports action, this is the series that Jamie Chadwick will be racing in so may be good to keep an eye on.

Would love to see you cover Super Formula next in my opinion the third best open wheel series in the world and very similar progression system as Indycar.

I write this from Indianapolis to my favorite F1 channel! Thanks Will! Indycar really needs all the ecposure it can get from motorsports fans everywhere. I grew up loving Indy car and when F1 came to Indy in 2001, I was hooked ever since I went to that race 🙏🏆💛

I like the "Ohhh" supercut. I probably saw it on your Indy 500 video too, but it's still fun

[BenAS]

Can't speak highly enough of IndyCar it's entertaining week in week out and since I started following the series in 2021 I've yet to experience a boring race. I spent a while trying out other motorsport series to watch alongside F1 and IndyCar is the only one I've found myself a genuine fan of and actively follow. I gave Formula E a few chances but every time I went back I was quick to remember.. I hate everything about it. I'd also like to mention oval racing is fantastic, I know it has a negative reputation amongst F1 fans as 'just racing in circles' but it's actually great and provides some of the best races of the season. Give it a go people you won't regret it.

Indycar would be blasting the Segment all across their social media if they knew what was good for them

6:02 To be fair, Ferrucci has kept his nose clean since coming to Indycar

[itsmebrynne]

This video was great but honestly I would definitely keep an eye out for Marcus Armstrong and Callum Ilott. Ilott was very impressive last year with a front row start and some great races, and Marcus is definitely in contention for some podiums this season as he proved in testing he's getting to grips with the car very quickly!

[laurenmp]

This is so so nice! I would also add that in Indy car strategy is very dynamic, owing to the yellow flags. Even in races with only a couple, you have teams changing things up as they go along. And that makes it better for fans. Also the rules for passing are, well, yes there are some but it's not like F1 by any stretch.

[scottdehaan]

Wild first race! Love that the series is full of drama and unpredictability! It's my favourite racing.

[jamiedalton]

The difference between you and any other youtuber is that every other youtuber makes a video and takes it seriously. While you somehow make every video no matter what it is funny 😂. Keep up the good work.

[averageenthusiast]

Thanks will for highlighting our greatest Motorsport series! Hoping that people will now start to not just treat as some local series

[jackharle]

Was never a huge Penske fan, but he is rebuilding Indy in ways the Hulman-George family never considered. He will be a good steward of the IMS. Grew up in Indy, live there still. Every team owner from Dick Simon to ... Roger Penske loved this place with every part of their Soul.

[John-jlde]

I love Indycar racing. Parity across the field has the closest and best racing in the world.

[JohnSmithShields]

I love that you can't resist an American burn, whilst hyping an American sport.

[brianakelley]

I started watching Indycar this year. Already been to the Indy 500 and road America last week. I love it. Hate to do the typical comparison to f1 but it is so much more entertaining. Glad it is growing in popularity

[manga_mav]

Jimmie Johnson is one of the best drivers in motorsport history he’s a 7 nascar champion and was racing it for almost 20 years before Indycar cut him a break in his prime he’s better than most people in that grid

[SarosRacing]

Reason number 6: The FIA is not the governing body. Therefore a lot less controversy and penalties that make sense more and are applied in a more straight forward manner (or that last one at least from my experience watching IndyCar since the pandemic).
