I'd like to believe it's his little sister, but that's pretty creepy to think of, but it's still pretty creepy to begin with.

“Mark’s never raced at the Indy 500, but I’d say if he can catch on at Indy as quickly as Ed Crombie did, they’ll have to make some extra space on the Borg Warner trophy,” said the renowned open-wheel reporter.

:lol:

this guy is a phenomenon...deserves a seat in next years Red Bull...poor Vettel!

So this guy is essentially the Chris-chan of motorsports, right?

Apart from the fact that both deserve spoilers? Nope.

it's just the oval version that uses the side pods, the street/road course version doesn't have it.

The image is the road cource spec concept car which was 1st unveiled last May.

That car didn't have the bodywork infront of the rear wheels, Had smaller mirrors & a slightly different nise/front wing design.

Something I noticed about the new car recently is that it seems Dallara are running it with mirrors taken straght off the GP2 car.

Also is it just me or have they taken the engine cover off the Chevrolet powered car?

Road course testing was done with the bodywork infront of the rear wheels.

What I noticed from that video is that they managed to run in a pack with just two cars.

That's spectacular.

The problem is that I don't think people will be able to look at Will Power now without laughing. I sure can't.
