If concrete run-off is included in track width, I agree.

Alfa would be a good choice. They could redeem their image in Indycar, last time it didn't go so well.

I wonder if Toyota, Mazda, or Nissan would be interested.

Seeing an engine nick-named an Alfa-Cossie would be :3:

as gently caress.

Of the three, I see Mazda as the most interested due to their engining of most the feeder series. Once/If Mazda secures the rights for Indy Lights, watch for Zoom-Zoom stepping up to the big show not much later.

I was 12 at the time and I remember Indy feeling very different after the split. The local news played it off like CART betrayed the 500 and we were better off without them.

I think we'd all like Ford back, but with their push to more production based racing engines (if I'm remembering correctly), we're more likely to see an FCA brand.

NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman is considering a switch to IndyCar as he continues to evaluate his options following the sale of his Cup team Swan Racing earlier this year.

[...]

The 23-year-old is continuing to look for opportunities to return to the cockpit full time, and while visiting Indianapolis Motor Speedway during preparations for the Indianapolis 500 he admitted that open-wheelers could be a potential avenue in the future.

"I actually started racing in open-wheel cars," he said. "I did Formula Renault [in] my first ever season, and Skip Barber. I wanted to go over to Europe, but just couldn't afford it. Stock car (racing) was a place you could go as a young kid and get an opportunity. I was able to take that opportunity and get to the top of that sport.

"I have a love for open-wheel cars and it's something that me and my manager Bob Perona have talked about. I've been given a bit of a vacation right now, so I'm taking the opportunity as a race fan and a racer to see what's out there and what the possibilities are."
