When the chequered flag flew and the 2015 season came to a close, I did not have as many grey hairs in my beard as I do now, it's been that long! So by way of preview of what we have as a website on offer for the coming season... Here's something New...
talkSPORT Radio
By chance last August I was driving to work listening to the overnight show presented by Russell Hargreaves, It was the morning after Pocono, and we still awaited news on Justin Wilson. The newsreader was discussing what happened with Russell and it was, albeit tragic why, good to hear something so sensitive being discussed with a proper knowledge, sensitivity and understanding of motorsport and the US racing scene. One thing led to another and I appeared on his show the following weekend in paying tribute to Justin, as a person and career. We remained in touch and I am pleased to say that through various points throughout the season, and particularly during the Month of May, I will be on Russell's new show on talkSPORT 2 discussing Indycar as they look to expand their sports coverage away from mainly football including more US sports. More details as and when.

Indycar UK Fantasy League
Now into our fourth season, our fantasy league has grown even more popular with 73 participants, with nearly 20 rookies joining in for the first time, we will have a prize for whoever comes out on top in that battle too (last year was a brick from IMS, a sponge brick...). We have people playing from all over the UK, USA, Europe and the Middle East. To the left are just a small selection of the prizes on offer to the winners, and well one for last place, a Milka Duno shirt. Thanks to Robin who does all the maths and spreadsheet stuff. Entries are now closed but if you are interested in signing up for next season let me know and we can add you to the list. A total of £36 will be donated to the Wilson Children's Fund from all the entry fees.

Live Streaming of MRTI Races
Borrowed in the sense Andersen Promotions have made it available! You will be able to catch all the on track, and some off track action from the Mazda Road to Indy, including USF2000, Pro Mazda and Indy Lights with live streaming. Times and coverage can be found on the MRTI Live page of this website. A huge thank you to Dan Andersen and his team who have made coverage of the MRTI so accessible, considering in the past we have had next to nothing.

A New Look
This website has been up for nearly four years and it was time to change, out with the DW12 and in with Turn One. Thanks to Tom who know doubt shook his head profusely as my attempts using paint to describe what I was looking for and pathetic technical terms! A much cleaner, fresh look ahead of the 2016 season.
