I agree with Raj Nair. Indy doesn't have the relevance to justify the program.
I agree with you Paul.

Champ car died a long time ago..... IRL killed it, well not killed, but killed everyone, including them selves..... The product is getting better, sort of, but the aero, ugliness is brutal.
New success formula: 'revert to the early nineties. Reward innovation, Open up the rule book, away from spec chassis to - min car weight, limit exterior package dimensions, control number of aero appendages & engine variation/options thru current spec turbo units & ECM. Independent sanctioning body - give the George/France families some nice bleacher seats in lieu of control of rules and decision making. Yep, killer costs for small teams and (likely) rewards large scale multi-car team efforts. Man I miss those days.
Think the current product needs further improvement? Of course, but don't lose sight of how far it's come - recall the utterly forgettable Aurora/Oldsmobile spec engine era?
