It’s worth pointing out, mind you, that the folks in charge of Indy racing – a form of motorsport that may or may not be better off now that the long-destructive feud between the triumphant Indy Racing League and defunct Champ Car is history – don’t historically run their operations like Swiss trains. History tells us that whether they arrive or not, whether their car count will be impressive or dismal, whether their technology will be rudimentary or aspirational – it’s a year-to-year, perhaps day-to-day toss-up. So yes, a company co-headed by Michael Andretti, the seven-time champion of Toronto’s great race, has carved out an agreement in principle with the IRL to bring the roar back to our lakeshore next summer.
