Article move

[edit]

Moving article from Grand Prix of Miami (Indycar) to Grand Prix of Miami (open wheel racing) in order to be inclusive of the ePrix. Also, the term "Indycar" should really not be part of the lexicon. DoctorindyTalk 21:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support: "Indycar" the single word term is not really appropriate because it does not accurately reflect the AAA race ("Championship Cars"), nor the CART race ("Champ Cars"), and the IndyCar Series race should be "IndyCar". Furthermore, ePrix is not directly linked to any of them, but it maintains the connection as an open wheel series. DoctorindyTalk 21:20, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

[edit]

Why is this article called "Grand Prix of Miami"? As far as I can tell only one race covered by this article had that title, creating an unnecessary clash with Grand Prix of Miami (sports car racing) requiring the disambiguations in brackets. I would suggest moving this article to something else so the sports car article can be moved to Grand Prix of Miami and maybe put a hatnote to wherever this article is moved to.
