Wow
Tonight I watched a nonstop Formula One race, televised from the Hungaroring Circuit in Hungary. The race had NO yellow-flag caution periods which the IndyCar Series dearly loves.
IndyCar fans often have to endure 12 minutes of no racing during a race. The laps spent trolling around behind a Honda Accord pace car are counted as race laps, although no one is racing. The fans in the stands are bored and viewers at home are exposed to insipid ads which they’ve seen and heard several times already. If IndyCar Series executive officers care about the quality of their on-track ‘product,’ they would do well to watch Formula One — and other — races which don’t have needless, unnecessarily-long caution periods for such excuses as the removal of a stopped car which is nowhere near the racing surface and thus endangers no one.
