The race is 110 laps.

Though I read somewhere that it had been shortened to 100 laps. There's nowhere on Indycar's site or on St.Pete's site that state how many laps there are. On no official schedule, only at which time. Odd.

Yeah, Indycar is notoriously bad at posting how many laps the races run. It's been 110 laps for the past six years, was 100 laps before that. I'll be honest, my only source is Wikipedia.

Nice livery.
Looking forward to the race! Only one hour highlights in a couple of weeks though. Will have to find it on YouTube.

According to the wizards over at Reddit, the race is 100 laps, so indeed shortened!

Nasr to make his Indycar debut at St Pete with Carlin on a one race deal.
Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Since IndyCar events are very "American", and no one needs to travel from overseas, I guess this will go ahead as normal?

Well, apparently not. "we are cancelling general attendance at the @GPSTPETE. We are working w/ the promoters and @IndyCar and will have more announcements later as to whether the race itself will run" Statement by the St. Pete mayor.

A bit of a hypocrisy if they cancel the Indycar race, but will press on with The Players Championship at Sawgrass (in Tampa Bay) which will see 170k people through the gates.

After the cancelations of the Aus GP, 1000miles of Sebring and the 12h of Sebring... i expect this not to happen either.

See my post above. With 170k people in attendance at Sawgrass, Saint Pete is not the issue.erwin greven wrote: ↑4 years ago After the cancelations of the Aus GP, 1000miles of Sebring and the 12h of Sebring... i expect this not to happen either.
Edit: Apparently Saint Pete is an issue.
