It’s a sunny but cool morning as the first practice round for the IndyCar Sonsio Grand Prix has just ended. I’m not going to be a spoiler and mention which Alex Palou led the session.

As I drove by Gate 2 this morning there was quite a line of cars waiting to get in the tnto the track, and it took a few minutes to enter Lot 2 as well.

Today’s forecast calls for rain beginning around 3 pm and continuing through IndyCar qualifying at 5:30 this evening.

IndyNXT is on track at the moment while we wait for the final results from IndyCar practice. The next IndyCar practice is at 1:05 pm on FS1. Qualifying is onFS2.

I’m going to wander around the track and see what is new for 2026.
