IndyCar Tracks and Marketing, Big F1 News, Live Long And Prosper
Description
On this week's Garage Talk, we spend a lot of time deep-diving into IndyCar's continued problems with marketing. A story broke recently about CEO Mark Miles' comments about Mexico City as a viable race location and wanting to visit "somewhere new". If you look at the list of tracks that IndyCar has visited but currently doesn't, that list is rather small. We look into some of the tracks they've visited previously and why they don't visit there anymore. Everything from attendance/marketing issues to driver and fan safety.
The big news out of Formula 1 is the worst-kept rumor in recent weeks. Adrian Newey has a new gig and it's not at Ferrari. We discuss his role and the future of Lance Stroll at Aston Martin.
Finally, we dive off topic as we remember the late great James Earl Jones who passed away earlier this week at the age of 93. We dive off into a Star Trek discussion as well (hence the Live Long and Prosper).
