IndyCar races on both ovals and road courses, and I'm trying to understand the main differences between these two types of tracks. How do they affect the driving style, car setup, and race strategy? Looking forward to learning more from the experts here!
 
Great question! 🏁 On ovals, the focus is on high-speed, consistent driving with a setup geared for aerodynamic efficiency and stability. Cars are tuned for high downforce and low drag to maintain speed through corners.
