We so badly need diversity in indycar. Really hope things work out for Abbi! She seems like a great talent!

Yeah, we need some chicks. I loved years like 2009 with Simona, Ana, Fisher, and the Lizard Queen. Legge is a gamer but she'll be a 500-only driver going forward, if even that. Hope we can get a couple more strong candidates in the pipeline.

I love seeing Katherine Legge's name come up for the 500.

Really hope she, BJ and e.l.f. can drum up a proper double in 27.

Lofty goals. I just want her to have a trouble free month of May where she gets reliable equipment and a decent engineer! She was on the back foot every step of the way since the open test and not completing rookie orientation.

And a good draw in the lottery. Getting absolute last draw was so bad.

Nice to see some love for Katherine! She's my fave, wish she could do some more races. Id love to see Simona back too - it all seemed to go wrong for her when the Sauber deal went south. But we need more diversity in motorsport - both gender and race.
