boring. indycar drivers. have you been paying attention? in no particular order we have: - a sentient lawsuit that won't stop smiling (or winning) - a God-sponsored string bean called Sting Ray - Steve Rogers (Taylor's version) - the most dramatic Frenchman, and that's a high bar

reasons to watch indycar: more liveries than you can shake a stick at, in every conceivable colour. reasons not to watch indycar: they stole all of F1's paint and are holding it hostage until their fourth-place finisher gets more super licence points than the F1A champion.
