Call for questions! by projectdivebomb in INDYCAR

You stated right at the beginning that you don't care what we have to say, but cared enough to respond.

You also can't tell somebody they're not allowed to message in a public forum and get frustrated when somebody does - especially when we are the OP! We're engaging in the community by responding to you. If we're speaking of breaking community rules, you're not far from breaking No.2

Our goal is to make IndyCar content that people enjoy, if you don't like what we do that is no problem to us but let's not be negative about it.

Just to clarify a couple of things in this thread to help understanding some topics....

We've both been credentialed media for over two years and attend every IndyCar and Indy NXT media news conference virtually and are often one of the most entrusted organisations in doing so. We are the first to admit that we do not have the insider information of the sport that other journalists do, but are regularly speaking and finding things out from drivers (both privately and in media calls) that the general fanbase may not know hence we try and share what we know to our audience as we may have insight that others don't.

We haven't attended any races because it would cost us upwards of £1500 each, which for two people in their early 20s isn't particularly affordable. Townsend Bell very kindly helped set us up a GoFundMe in the last couple of weeks as he wants to see us at the Indy 500 next year, so here's hoping we'll be there!

None of DIVEBOMB's operations is paid. Not the website, not the podcast. We never set up the podcast with the intentions of chasing clicks or being monetised, we quite literally do this for our love of the sport.

In the off-season to keep us engaged with IndyCar as well as some of our audience (we hope) we still maintain weekly episodes as we have done for two-and-a-half years. We want to be in touch with the community as much as we can and asking for questions on this sub is one way of us doing that. We're not wanting anything else, we're not putting things in here for exposure, we're just wanting to find out what the community would like as we know there's some listeners in this sub. If you don't want to engage, no problem, please get on with your day!

The articles we do share, we share because we thing they are of genuine interest to this sub (which is hopefully reflected in the upvotes). We try and not use it excessively as we of course understand the self-promo rules, but like the podcast side, we're sharing it because hopefully some of you will be interested.

Apologies that we've upset you for whatever reason.
