IndyCar NBC Sports Gold announcement (Update)

IndyCar puts the screws to its fans – this content used to be streamed live for free on their website.

UPDATE NBC Sports today will reveal details of its IndyCar Pass OTT product, which will start at $50 before increasing by $5 next month.

The pass will include live coverage of all NTT IndyCar Series qualifying and practice sessions, live coverage of Indy Lights races and replays of races that range from full-event to 15- to 30-minute cutdowns.

NBC Sports’ usual booth of Leigh Diffey, Townsend Bell and Paul Tracy will call the coverage, marking the first time all qualifying and practice sessions will receive TV-quality production.
