There is no reason why the page should not begin with IndyCar Series in DIRECTV HD rather than simply IndyCar Series. This is currently the official title of the series as recognised by the Indy Racing League, much like when Champ Car's title was Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford. When that was the case, the Wikipedia article was officially recognized as Champ Car World Series, but the on page title reflected the official name.
The objectives of WP:COMMONNAME do not apply in this case, as
1) We are not renaming the page, it remains at IndyCar Series, where it should be
2) Based on the way search engines work, the addition of in DIRECTV HD would not effect search results for this page, while at the same time, it would increase the accuracy of the article. If this was being renamed to something such as "IndyCar Presented in DirecTV Series", WP:COMMONNAME would apply, as anybody doing a search for "IndyCar Series" would be unable to find the page.
I'm not advocating moving the page from IndyCar Series, just fixing it to properly reflect the series.

The Long Beach race that used the Champ Car Panoz/Cosworth cars counts towards the IRL points standings. For all intents and purposes it is an IndyCar series race, and thus Panoz and Cosworth should be listed as chassis and engine suppliers. Charles 22:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
The 2008 Long Beach DP01 Panoz / Cosworth effort is an interesting footnote. Twohlford ( talk) 05:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I rewrote the chassis section, cleaning up the historical chassis sections and adding lots on the G-Force/Panoz efforts. It still needs more work on the Dallara efforts. Twohlford ( talk) 05:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
According to IRL officials I talked to at Milwaukee and Indy, the current chassis and engine spec is expected to continue through 2010 due to unification concerns. Twohlford ( talk) 05:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Per several Indycar sources with the most notable being Newman Haas Lanigan Racing via their official website, the current IndyCar chassis is the IR5. The IR5 is fundamentally the same chassis as the IR3 but with minor aerodynamic updates which were solidified for the 2005 IndyCar season. The IR5 has been fabricated by Panoz and Dallara.

The last I checked, CART broke away from USAC in 1978. While an argument can be made for the Championship Racing League in 1980 as a unified series, most certainly "the split" didn't begin with the formation of the IRL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twohlford ( talk • contribs) 19:47, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
My understanding is that the IRL will recognize the history of CART and CCWS. This means that our statement of which drivers are record holders probably needs a lot of revision. We would also have to include the pre-1978 records if we are to do this correctly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twohlford ( talk • contribs) 01:07, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
{{IZOD IndyCar Series|IndyCar Series}} Revert to previous after Move request not having been performed previously on what was obvious a controversial move. IZOD have become the series sponsor of the IndyCar Series, however, this article covers all of IndyCar, not just the series. Additionally almost every other motorsport article about a category is generically titled, and this article has not previously been refered to by sponsored identity. -- Falcadore ( talk) 04:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Why the name change? Yes the series now has a naming rights sponsor, but that naming rights sponsor only applied to the 2010 series yes? This is the article about to whole of the Indycar Series, of which IZOD has only been a very small part. Surely the name of the article should stay generic for exactly the same reason that all the component race teams have generically titled articles rather than named by their sponsored identies and the IZOD labelling should stick strictly to 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series article.
I notice that the NASCAR Sprint Cup has been sited for comparison. However, isn't the more appropriate comparison to NASCAR? Additionally, it should be noted that the NASCAR Sprint Cup series is virtually unique in that the article represent the sponsored idenity of its motor racing series. Every other motor racing Series article that I found by quick search uses the unbranded common name. -- Falcadore ( talk) 04:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The engine service rebuild mileage duration per season of current generation of IndyCar Series engines is worth 2,500–2,850 miles (4,023–4,587 kilometres) and can be replacable for the further next races if the engine mileage has reached the minimum rebuild mileage duration.

Just looking for opinions here, but this article seems to require a massive revamp. It seems to just be a wrote description of the cars of older eras with little relevant content for someone looking up what the IndyCar series is.

Could the first sentence under 'Other components' - All IndyCar Series cars carry a McLaren-provided engine management (Electronic Control Unit) since 2007 as a second supplier until 2009 and later increased as single ECU supplier since 2010 until present (the TAG-400i was first time utilized since 2012 season).
