As a tip, including the "<small> & </small>" tags help allow the references from taking up too much room on the bottom of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctorindy ( talk • contribs) 13:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I just undid a number of edits that have been made and then undone before. I think we should have a discussion section explaining why the page is in the state it is in, so future editors know not to make edits that have previously been reverted and avoid an edit war. Kenhullett ( talk) 20:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
In the absence of any announcement from the company or team we cannot assume that this sponsorship will continue. Sponsorship deals are often for a single season only. But even if some one can find a cite that indicates a multi-year deal, the fact that the team changed both drivers and series would necessitate a renegotiation. We especially cannot assume that the sponsorship will expand from one car to two. Kenhullett ( talk) 20:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Back to the original subject of this section. In N/H/L's press release today stating that they wouldn't be at the Sebring test, it confirmed that their car numbers will be #02 (Wilson) and #06 (Rahal) and that Wilson will be sponsored by McDonald's. It did not include a sponsor for Rahal. - Drdisque ( talk) 04:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Presently there is no confirmation from the IRL that any former ChampCar races have been added to the schedule. There are various reliable sources stating that they will be added. There are reliable sources stating that Long Beach and Motegi will be run concurrently. There are reliable sources stating that Australia will be a non-points race. Based on the strength of these reports I feel that they should be included. It would also be reasonable to put them in a separate "possible races" section. Kenhullett ( talk) 20:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
As far as I know, Conquest is the only team to formally announce their switch, though it's quite possible that I missed a press release somewhere. They, as well as the NHL drivers, are the only former ChampCar drivers added to the list on the IRL website. As with the races, we can add other teams to the list based on the strength of reports by reliable sources. But if someone does want to create a separate table for "possible entries" that would be reasonable. Kenhullett ( talk) 20:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
As discussed in 2007, it should be reiterated for 2008 that the proper vocabulary in which to refer to the series/season is "IndyCar Series." The term "IRL" is no longer an official reference to the series or the teams in general. It is only a reference to the overall sanctioning body. It actually has been the rule since 2003, but has been slow to take effect by many people.
Doctorindy ( talk) 15:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
The citation given to prove this as being non points paying surely is not credible enough? It surely must come straight from IndyCar?-- Amedeo Felix ( talk) 18:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
So much has changed in the past few months, so a little bit of clean up is in order before the season kicks in. The following are being removed for now, but can be placed back into the article if needed Doctorindy ( talk) 15:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The IndyCar website still lists a tape-delayed broadcast at 3:00 pm in addition to the live broadcast. I've changed the entry to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.192.121 ( talk) 19:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Only those teams who entered other IndyCar events (or are planning to) scored points (the N/H/L, KV, Conquest, HVM, Coyne, and Pacific Coast cars). Montagny and Tagliani despite fine runs did not. I don't agree with it, but the statement that all participants scored points to the ICS championship is incorrect, so I revised it. [User:Arenasnow|Arenasnow]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arenasnow ( talk • contribs) 04:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
He was entered in the event at the start of practice, so his crash and failure to run needs to be tagged as either a DNQ, or a Wth. The question of which comes down to whether or not N/H/L officially withdrew his car or not. If not, a DNQ. -- Chr.K. ( talk) 03:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Why is this page so far behind in race results?-- Amedeo Felix ( talk) 15:47, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
We need to determine if what quickly seemed to be the case actually was, that Dixon actually passed Castroneves after the latter's car nose had crossed the line, but before the onboard transponders of either car had, thus creating the the situation of race control originally thinking it Dixon...because IF that happened, it would be the first and only time in history, at the highest level of American open-wheel motorsports. -- Chr.K.

The chart at the top of the page does NOT NEED THESE. "Fastest lap" is not widely advertised in IRL statistics, and has never been an important stat, and no one cares about it (outside perhaps, Indy, but still). Most laps led is already addressed down below with the points chart. Pole positions are also already addressed in the race summaries. The casual reader will see nothing but mass confusion and overkill when they're simply trying to figure out who won what race. Doctorindy ( talk) 13:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
On the subject of fastest laps User:Gokul009 keeps reverting edits surrounding two events fastest lap, but when referring to indycar.com - for example here says that User:Gokul009 is actually wrong. So can you actually provide a source, better than the official timing website? -- Falcadore ( talk) 11:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
indycar.com now shows that Tracy and Tagliani did get points for Long Beach race. 62.21.1.106 ( talk) 15:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
I've seen one editor regularly tag the Dallara chassis as the IR2, yet when reading the IRL media guide the car is described as an update of the 2003 car which was the last major re-design and since then has had individual updates. According to Dallara's website the last car that had major aero work was the 2005 model, so what is the correct chassis designation, IR3, IR5 or IR8? -- Falcadore ( talk) 05:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
The car was indeed moderately redesigned for the 2005 season. I do not know of the formal chassis designations used by Dallara. - Drdisque ( talk) 16:48, 26 October 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. ( User: thebatsignal) 15:09, 10 January, 2009 (UTC)

Another professional source indicating the designation as IR5. http://www.samhornish.com/team/index.cfm?cid=2645&subnavkey=carspecs&wide=true User: thebatsignal) 22:41, 19 February, 2009 (UTC)
The Phil Giebler American Dreams #88 car that wrecked during a [2008] Indianapolis 500 practice and failed to make a qualifying attempt is listed incorrectly on Wikipedia. It is listed as a "Dallara Honda", but it was actually a Panoz Honda. Specifically, it was a Panoz IR5 Honda.
It is evidenced to be a Panoz by the rounded non-blistered nose and the variation in the air intake among other indicators (see photo via hyperlink from the 2008 Indianapolis 500 Day 3 time trials).

Yes, you are correct, it was correct at some point, someone changed, it and nobody caught it. - Drdisque ( talk) 23:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Uri doesn't count as a 2008 IndyCar rookie because of having competed at the 2002 Indianapolis 500 (i.e. not qualifing at that race), right? -- NaBUru38 ( talk) 02:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Another professional source indicating the designation as IR5. http://www.samhornish.com/team/index.cfm?cid=2645&subnavkey=carspecs&wide=true User: thebatsignal) 22:41, 19 February, 2009 (UTC)
The Phil Giebler American Dreams #88 car that wrecked during a [2008] Indianapolis 500 practice and failed to make a qualifying attempt is listed incorrectly on Wikipedia. It is listed as a "Dallara Honda", but it was actually a Panoz Honda. Specifically, it was a Panoz IR5 Honda.
It is evidenced to be a Panoz by the rounded non-blistered nose and the variation in the air intake among other indicators (see photo via hyperlink from the 2008 Indianapolis 500 Day 3 time trials).

Yes, you are correct, it was correct at some point, someone changed, it and nobody caught it. - Drdisque ( talk) 23:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Uri doesn't count as a 2008 IndyCar rookie because of having competed at the 2002 Indianapolis 500 (i.e. not qualifing at that race), right? -- NaBUru38 ( talk) 02:10, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
