Welcome
Planet-IRL is an auto racing blog covering the IZOD Indycar Series. Founded in June 2008, our aim is to not only share our opinions on racing, but to also hear from others as well. Our approach is an interactive community, where racing fans from around the world can discuss and share their views, experiences, and more! Here you will find a group of contributors, each that bring their own flare to the blog – we don’t have just one lone voice, but many viewpoints amongst us. So sit back and enjoy!
Disclaimer: Planet-IRL is a blog and we do not represent the views of individual racing series, drivers or sponsors. We are just here to have some fun and rant or rave about the sport we love – auto racing.
Team Planet-IRL
Below are your trusty contributors. To learn more about what makes us tick, visit our About Us page and read about our favorite drivers (past and present), tracks and racing memories.
