• IndyCar promises new era as 2025 kicks off in St Pete

  The Race IndyCar Podcast is back to preview the St Petersburg race which promises to start a new era of the championship and its future. Jack Benyon is joined by JR Hildebrand as they assess the impact of Fox Sports taking over the series’ TV coverage and the massive amount of additional promotion that’s allowed for. To help preview St Petersburg, Benyon asks Hildebrand to name who he thinks will win, who'll be on pole, who'll spring the biggest surprise, and which of the drivers who are absent he'd liked to have seen racing - which somehow spurs a tangent on Sebastien Bourdais!  SPECIAL OFFER: Get 90% off your first month when you join The Race Members' Club on Patreon today.

Jack also discusses the last seats remaining in silly season to be filled. You can contact the show with questions (in a voicenote, if you prefer) and suggestions, via our email address: [email protected].
