I don't think so.

Picquenot kept the details to a minimum, but confirmed his bosses had inked a deal with a brand-new IndyCar entrant.

“Yeah, I know we signed one more team,” he said. “It has been signed between the UK and U.S., and it’s going to be a new team, not an existing team.”

I like having Tracy in the series. Problem is that he hasn't shown any speed since that drive at Toronto a couple of years ago. It doesn't help only doing one or two races a year, so maybe a full season will be better for him, but sadly I think it's more a case of him being well past his best.

Does it matter?

I'd be surprised if Target weren't sponsoring both the cars on a primary basis.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Did you notice that it has just stickers with red and yellow masking tape on plain carbon? I'm quite sure it's just a test of how some shapes work on the car, not a final scheme. At least I hope so.

It's a tribute scheme to Dan's car at Indy 2010.

Too much red. Needs some white or yellow on it

Has that car developed more fins in front of its sidepods? Hope they're not going F1 2006-8 style on it and adding ugly aero flick ups to try and solve its woes.

Would also help if they didn't leave it in the car park tbh :p

Good news about Tracy though. I admit I'm probably just a fan of his from a nostalgic point of view rather than expecting him to perform brilliantly, but he is a wise old goat now, he might be able to use his experience to get a few good results.

I assume if it goes well or not it is his farewell tour anyway....I think that's what he's wanted the whole time, one final season so he can end his career on his terms.

New car was suppose to be the problem for the owners because of high costs of racing a new chassis but it looks like we already have like 30+ cars for the season 8O

that'd be a huge surprise.

And someone was only asking what Legge was up to in this thread the other day.
