I'd say create a new one for the New Year.

Got it, the midgets are racing all week I think.

F1 car/livery launches. Cadillac's is during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Redbull is in a few hours.

I'm miffed with how much F1 gets attention in the US these days. Indycar is a much more competitive series and most of the races are in the states. Yes, F1 is "F1", but Indycar is much more compelling racing. F1 feels like high class racing with too much drama.

Meanwhile, Roar before the Rolex is this weekend. The VP racing series is out on the course.

2026 Roar Before The Rolex 24 | IMSA

Experience the 2026 Roar Before The Rolex 24 at Daytona — three days of IMSA practice, qualifying and VP Racing SportsCar Challenge action at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

The following week is the Rolex 24. Former VP racing series racer, Samantha Tan is graduating to the Michelin Pilot Challenge, racing in tandem with Random Vandals Racing which is reintroducing a car in that series after skipping a year. The Michelin Pilot Challenge has one of their four hour events the day before the 24. I look forward to seeing the other 4-hr event at Mid-Ohio. Tan has done respectably in the lower series, which provide trophies a bit easier due to lower numbers of entries in classes. She'll be getting truly tested with notably larger fields in the Pilot Challenge.
