The intro paragraph says indycars 2012 season will be raced among 3 continents but only lists north and south America in the schedule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.107.187.230 ( talk) 19:46, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
The version used in previous articles was non-standard. I don't really feel like going through them and fixing them but we're definitely not bringing it to this article, especially since things have changed so much. 98.212.25.109 ( talk) 21:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Can we at least get rid of the sponsors/notes? It makes it look very, very amateur. Sponsors are almost entirely irrelevant and "notes" is only useful for showing if the driver is part-time, which is much more succinctly provided by the Rounds column. I'm not a fan of the blue coloring either but it doesn't bother me enough to care. Also, food for thought: you might want to include the aerokit category, even though it's all Dallara this year, just so the chart is consistent year-to-year. Again, it's not a major issue whatsoever, but it's one of those things you tend to notice when looking at lots of past seasons. Eightball ( talk) 22:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Why is Lotus listed as Malaysia? AmericanLeMans ( talk) 04:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
NOTE: I am not mistaking them for the F1 team. The Wikipedia page lists Lotus Cars as being headquartered in Norfolk.

There must be something known about Toronto - contract in place, extension? It's completely missing from all categories at the moment but I can't believe the race won't run. Anyone? Rwintle ( talk) 19:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Milwaukee was leaked to be back on the schedule for June 17. Supposedly this link was accessible earlier today with all the details. Screencap can be found at http://i.imgur.com/7J4Xh.jpg. Will need to be on the lookout for reliable sources for this. TheChrisD Rants• Edits 19:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Why is Barrichello no rookie? It is his first Indycar season. So I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Januar2222 ( talk • contribs) 15:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
This would signify 1911 as the first year of the championship, which is incorrect. After a significant discussion on Talk:American Championship car racing we have finally nailed down what seasons are official vs. non official. While the first indy 500 was contested in 1911, the first season of championship racing was not until 1916; it was suspended for 3 years for WWI. The championship ran uninterrupted from 1920 through 1941 and was suspended for WWII until 1946. The championship has run uninterrupted since then. By my count the 2012 season represents the 88th season of open wheel racing. There is still debate about the legitimacy of the 1905 season, however 101 is simply incorrect. Please add you input, I'll wait a week or two before changing this and every other incorrect page. Thank you. Ehall317 ( talk) 21:34, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
The Official Box Score for the Iowa race says that Franchetti didn't complete any laps. Why is the table cell in purple for didn't finish? Of course he didn't finish; he didn't even start! Can we change this to a white bold DNS?
Also, why is Ryan Briscoe's Indy qualifying pole position extra point in the wrong column? If he qualified on the polw, shouldn't the 1 in the qualifying column be bold? It doen't make any sense to have his finishing result bold, because that is not what got him the extra point. 198.228.200.155 ( talk) 13:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
10.3.5. If a Car participates in practice and/or qualifications but is unable to start a Race, the Driver and/or the Entrant shall receive half of the points the Car would have received for the Race had the Car started the Race (“nonstarting Cars”). INDYCAR shall determine whether a Car is deemed to have participated for purposes of this Rule 10.3.5.
I notice that has snuck back again again after the practice was halted during 2010 as it was perceived to be colour for no other reason than adding colour,m and potentially obscurative to those not able to perceive all colours correctly. Is there a good reason for its return other than being pretty? -- Falcadore ( talk) 03:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
