INDYCAR: Series to expand live streaming options

The Verizon IndyCar Series is exploring the addition of Twitter to its live streaming offerings for the upcoming 17-race season. The open-wheel series has been in the practice of using Facebook Live and YouTube to live stream all sessions that aren't aired on television by broadcast partners ABC and NBCSN, and according to the series Facebook Live and YouTube streaming will continue in 2017.

The use of live streaming via Twitter will be tested and barring any issues, will be added as a third viewing option for fans to use with untelevised practice sessions.

The opening IndyCar race weekend takes place March 10-12 on the streets of St. Petersburg.
