Someone should put the 2015 CFH Racing results in the year by year chart. It's confusing not to be there as it's a continuation of this team. I tried but unfortunately my formatting skills aren't up to it. CitiCat^♫ 16:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Carpenter Racing → ECR (IndyCar team) – The team has officially changed its name for the 2026 season from 'Ed Carpenter Racing' to 'ECR'. This is reflected on both the official IndyCar page and ECR's latest official press release. Archived pages from the IndyCar official website, as late as 4 February 2026, showed the former denomination in the 'Teams' subpage, where it currently does not. While the team hasn't officially acknowledged such change, and the acronym had been profusely used previously, all of their communications and social media accounts only use 'ECR', without the parenthesis that used to accompany them whenever they were used in formal press releases.

Oppose for now per WP:NATURAL. I also believe that the rename is too soon, as article titles follow WP:COMMONNAME, which certainly is not the case. Articles from just today and yesterday ([1], [2], [3]) still use the full written out name. If this changes throughout the season and news outlets begin to refer to them solely as ECR, then this can be revisited. GalacticVelocity08 (talk) 20:34, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:NATURAL. 162 etc. (talk) 03:28, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
