REUTERS: With new drivers, new teams, new circuits, a new title sponsor and broadcast deal it is a new dawn for the IndyCar Series as it speeds towards a future that could again include international races.
That could soon change with reports IndyCar is looking into returning to Surfers Paradise in Australia and also considering races in Brazil, Mexico and Japan. To be fair few, if any, sporting events can match the Indy 500 for pure high-octane excitement and this year will be no exception. "I've made clear for some time my desire to achieve the Triple Crown," said Alonso in a statement last year after confirming his participation."I had an incredible experience at Indianapolis in 2017 and I knew in my heart of hearts I had to go back if the opportunity was there."Alonso will not be the only Formula One runaway on the IndyCar starting grid this season as more drivers look to the North American open wheel series to rev up stalled careers.
The Swede to watch, however, could be Felix Rosenqvist who will partner New Zealand's Scott Dixon, IndyCar's reigning drivers champion, at powerhouse outfit Chip Ganassi Racing.
