I personally could care if it doesn't go as fast, it's not like we can visually see the difference

Will people still be moaning if the car goes faster than the old Crapwagon this week????? :p


Given that the old car was used for 9 years (2003 - 2011), if the car isn't faster than something is horrifically wrong anyway.

Despite it having 50 less hp?

Less than 30 mins til green! I think this year with the new car will be much different. Teams will be on track as much as possible to figure out this new car and which aero package works best.

We'll get 220. The Penskes and Ganassis haven't been out in force yet.

I'd probably say up to 225 or 226.

the 225s won't come until they give them the extra 50hp for qualifying and fast friday.

Yeah, they'll trim down the cars enough to get up to that sort of speeds.

I think I posted it here when it was the test at Indy a few weeks back. Pippa Mann said on Twitter that on the first day of practice last year, she did 218, and by bump day she was up to 224. She said it's all about trimming the car down.

Yes but i wonder who is going to be the first to find the "edge" of this new car. It's never been fully trimmed out before.

Target's 50th anniversary is this year, so Ganassi changed Dario's number around.

I actually liked the Reynard more than any other chassis during the late 90s. The mid 90s Lolas and Penskes looked nice too. I was never big on the Swift chassis.

All I know is this is about as good as it gets:
