New INDY CAR 2012 Car

Earlier this month, Dan Wheldon took the new IZOD series car for a spin at Mid-Ohio. Here are a few pics of the new machine--what do you think??

That was my first impression also Chia. In the interview(posted on iRacing) after the practice, Dan said the car is a lot lighter, but has a lot more HP....

I think this is a step in the right direction for Indy Car.
They had a show car at the Milwaukee Mile when I went there for the race. Definitely looks alot like an F1 car... which IMO is a good thing.

Most importantly, I hope this car produces good racing something Indy Car has been lacking lately especially on the road courses.

Agreed. I wish they would've stuck with ovals exclusively, but perhaps this car will make for better road course racing. I do like the new look though.

I like road course racing... its just the Indy Car races have been pretty boring. I found myself turning them off even if theyre on DVR.

Re: New INDY CAR 2012 Car

looks very boxy and wide to me. Also, can we get a petition to ban those huge front wings on grounds they are ugly? At least there's no shark fin.
