The Race IndyCar Podcast is back to preview the St Petersburg race which promises to start a new era of the championship and its future.

Jack Benyon is joined by JR Hildebrand as they assess the impact of Fox Sports taking over the series’ TV coverage and the massive amount of additional promotion that’s allowed for.

To help preview St Petersburg, Benyon asks Hildebrand to name who he thinks will win, who'll be on pole, who'll spring the biggest surprise, and which of the drivers who are absent he'd liked to have seen racing - which somehow spurs a tangent on Sebastien Bourdais!
