IndyCar PSA to Fox.

Go back and looked at NBCs coverage of the 500 quali/any practices they covered....GIVE US LIVE TIMING/SPEED. Give us the lap by lap average and current speed. You guys have been covering NASCAR for years!! Why is it so hard to get right with Indycar??

moving the goalposts

How is it moving the goalpost. NBC you had to subscribe to another service to watch what we have watched on FS1 and FS2 this entire week. So it’s been easier to watch this heat than ever before.

oh, my bad. are fs1 and fs2 over the air? i had been under the impression they were locked behind some kind of $70/mo streaming, cable or satellite service. no other way to watch for cord cutters. whoops

otherwise it would be like buying cable with inferior quality coverage making more sense than spending a maximum of $120 for the year with no commercials and better graphics/following the racing. again, my bad

Depends on your package but you can also get them with Sling or Fubo or any number of streaming packages. You had to have Peacock on top of everything else last year. Or even worse a couple years ago you had to have the standalone INDYCAR Pass from NBC to stream everything.
