2. IndyCar drivers stop racing when it rains.
Draw your own conclusions.
Indy Car is BS now after the split..
Indy Car used to be what is currently CART. Tony George the owner of Indianapolis speedway owned the trade mark for the namer name "Indy Car".
When he decided to make his own series he took the name from the "real" Indy Car series and they had to switch to the name CART and they call the cars champ cars. That had a very bad effect on the series in general.
the current "Indy Cars" are the cars that run in the IRL series and really can't be compared to F1 cars. No way could you race on a oval track in the rain.
Now the "true" Indy Cars from the CART series do race in the rain and are somewhat comparable to F1 in driving styles. However CART cars can't compete with F1 cars in the technology realm. Simply because the series has rules to keep the racing somewhat affordable.
