It had been six weeks since the season opener in Oschersleben, so it was almost like a new start for all the teams. A very nice grid of 25 cars, with a bit of help from some guest entries from the Italian F4 Championship, had taken the trip to the Steiermark. Dennis Hauger had taken Pole Position for race 1, ahead of Alessandro Ghiretti, championship…

The ninth round of NTT IndyCar Series was run as an evening race at Texas Motor Speedway under the name DXC Technology 600. Takuma Sato had taken Pole Position in front of the 2018 winner Scott Dixon, Sebastien Bourdais, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Simon Pagenaud and Spencer Pigot. Championship leader Josef Newgarden started from P8 as the second best Penske driver. The race was started before the sun totally set, but the lights were already on around the track. The low sun also meant that the drivers got blinded by sunlight in…
