The 2010 IZOD Indy Racing League kicks off in Sao Paulo on Sunday March 14th with series' first visit to Brazil. In a way, it's a surprise that it has taken this long, especially considering that sheer amount of drivers and sponsors in the series that originate from the South American country.Although not the widest of venues (street circuits rarely are), it is encouraging to see the two fairly lengthy straights to aid overtaking, as well as some technical features. After watching the video (below) of the track layout, it was also interesting to note how much it reminded me of the Toronto street circuit that the IRL will visit during the summer. Obviously, comparison's can only truly be made when the Brazilian race weekend gets under way, but it should be interesting to see exactly how this works.
Alas, we shall only find out for sure how good (or bad) the circuit is when the cars run on it. Until then, forward March (as it were).

I'm not thrilled about Sao Paublo. Personally, I really like Toronto, it's probably my favorite Street course, and one of the few I want on the calendar.
One concerning thing is Miller reported a huge payday to teams for traveling to the Brazil race, and now he and Cavin both say that the payday is dead, and that, to me was the biggest selling point of the race.
Also, many sponsors won't pay for the team to race at the non North American races.
I wonder if it is possible a due-process situation - seeing if the race works and making the payday happen should the IndyCar series come back.
However, it was an odd revelation to say the least.
I'd like to see it work, but it's just such a shame that the Rio oval is no longer there as I would like to see the Indy cars there.
