A game changer for sure, I am curious to see if gets off the ground and actually is built and tested.
It could make the series very interseting!

That Pepsi car ran like a scaleded dog, and gave out on the first lap-----rthe only chance the late Mike Mosley really had to win at Indy. That car, along with Danny Ongais' #25 Interscope 'bat wing' were the coolest cars on the track that year. Oh well.....

The yellow 48 looks like it pre-dates carbonfiber. or its straight out of someones matchbox collection. The survival cell looks like late '70's or early '80's... I like it.
The modern concept is what I expect to see unveiled. It should help the series with a story line this summer. getting the new car on a track. We are entering a whole new era. Things will be a lot more interesting from here on out.

A lot of people on here complain about the looks of the current car. Personally I like the current cars looks. I have stated that before. I'll just say the yellow car in the first pic is butt ugly. And that's me being nice about it. The second car is pretty cool. If they go with something like the second pic, I would like that. If they went with the yellow pic, I would have to hide my head under a pillow and deny being an IndyCar fan.

Let the countdown begin...

My preferance is Champ Car's last car. The Pepsi Challenger would never work if only because the foot well is too close to the front of the car. Ask Rick Mears about that! The 'I am Indy' car needs a lot of work to work. No front wing speaks for itself and that tiny rear wing (albeit sexy looking) has no useful surface area. That said, I love the idea of 'outside the box' thinking. The general idea of the 'I am Indy' car is great. Put some serious wings on it and I think it will be stunning and give great protection to the driver on ovals. Give your opinions, I'm sure the designers are listening and reading.

As the cars potentially become more aerodynamic and start to look like fighter jets, I wonder if it would be possible to engineer aero (flap/wing) controls to be adjusted on the fly, so to speak, from the cockpit, the way aircraft pilots do?

f1 cars are allowed to control the front wing flaps and even then its restricted to only 6 degree's movement a lap. i'm sure it could be done but what about the cost?

the yellow 48 is an old gurney eagle 1/24 scale model kit from the 80s the car never did too well in indy car racing- the second rear wind was added ,it was an MPC model i think

Chicago offers some of the most exciting racing of the season as IndyCars will usually race two to three wide and the finishes are the close as ever. Briscoe edged Dixon in 2009.
