IndyCar has revealed why the broadcast of the Thermal Club Grand Prix on FOX was inter𒁏rupted on Sunday.

🐷The championship has revealed that the outage was caused by a technical problem, with a circuit breaker failing in the TV compound.

Extreme heat is believed to be the root caus💙e🌺 of the issue.

Around lap 28 of 65, IndyCar’s official feed ♒on FOX and other international channels stopped working, prompting widespread criticism on social media.

FOX initially started♊ showing commercials on ജthe channel, before broadcasting the clashing NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami, which was already being aired on Fox Sports 1.

The signal was restored around🦩 💟lap 40 after a gap of 20 minutes.

The outa🥂ge was widespread, with it being reported that those at the track also lost visuals and timing data.

During the interruption, Fox’s official IndyCar handle on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Our INDYCAR production truck has an electrical issue. ♚We are working to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

"In the𝓰 🗹meantime, we have NASCAR bonus coverage on FOX and FS1 until the INDYCAR truck is back online.”

There were no maj🔜or changes at the front of the race during the blackout, although fans di𝐆d miss several pitstops.

The race was eventually won by Chip Ganassi’s Alex Palou after he passed longtime le🅘ader Pato O’Ward with less than 10 laps to run.
