Aside from the addition of Barcelona, the changes went in the wrong direction.
Beyond the Flag's Asher Fair argues that IndyCar's finalized 2027 schedule represents a major failure to capitalize on recent momentum. The series reduced its calendar from 18 to 17 races, adding an international event at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya but removing Nashville Superspeedway without replacement and omitting Washington, D.C.
Fair criticizes the series for abandoning the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets despite successful attendance in the nation's capital. The writer also condemns the continued lack of oval events, leaving just three non-Indy 500 ovals alongside unresolved international expansion rumors.
