Have they left the engine cover off there, or have they gone full 1990s?

It'll do nothing for the racing, but at least it looks nice.

No engine cover, can see the blankets covering it up.

Aesthetically, that's a huge improvement. Very obviously inspired by the Chevy, but still very obviously different.

Now if only IndyCar would ban those utterly ridiculous wings behind the rear tires... (I'd prefer if they got rid of the rear bumpers entirely, but I know they refuse to entertain that idea)

What do you fellow people make of Max Chilton? I got derided on the Indycar Facebook page for stating that Chilton was regarded as a bit of a "joke" in F1 circles & forums, I don't think he was that bad, steady and consistent, yes he had a terrible car in F1 but Jules Bianchi (God Rest His Soul) got more out of it. Was very surprised that a team like Ganassi would sign him when their is more talented drivers out their (but also a lot lot worse!).

That's the livery of the year :flag:

The thing that annoys me most about Chilton is being up himself finishing every race one year, despite being laps down and way off his team mate. Then his first "retirement" was taking out Bianchi on lap 1 in Montreal.

To me it looks like crap in that car, nothing like the CART cars of 98-99-00.

Nice to see the bolts back, I think the livery would look better without the huge Target on the front portion of the tub though. Should look good on the Speedway aero kit

I think what happened on the Warm up lap of the freedom 100 tells you all you need to know about him.

I'll be very interested to see what he does in this year's 500

I didn't see the race but looking it up all that's written is that the car had a technical failure before the start. What did Chilton do wrong?
