DRR looking at shutting down full time operations after Indy if sponsorship can't be found. Someone call Purex.

Word around the paddock is that a "prominent" IndyCar team held un-official talks with a manufacturer about entering IndyCar. This manufacturer has apparently never gone open wheel (not sure of that means just Indy or what) but seems not to keen on the idea of having the same look as Honda or Chevy. Since body kits have been sorta forgotten it may have temporarily stalled any discussion. All of this from Long Beach.


From what I read the new BIG GUY that is CEO of all CEO's wants aero kits from next year and more HP. And he doesn't like to hear "NO" as an answer.


Quite a lot of Indycar's problems can be fixed with more Horsepower and better looking cars, tbh.

Car is fine, it races well so who cares about the looks. More HP however.

I've gotten used to the look of the cars tbh, but yes I agree about more power and make it sound absolutely ruthless 8)

They just need to cut off the tortoise shells from the top of the sidepods and it'll look awesome, a bit like the prototype did.

I think so too. And cutting the airbox would also be awsome.

If Oriol is left without a drive I'm going to hurt someone.

The sanctity of Indy went out the window when the tin tops came to town in '94.

You can see they're trying to search for a new iconic event.....good luck.

Should try the Road America 500 or the Cleveland 1000 or something if they want to make a race that fans will actually look forward to.

Ugh, hate the Indy road course. I wish the prestige associated with certain tracks like Daytona or Indy would be restricted to the layout that made it famous, not just any random piece of tarmac drawn up on the property.

Cleveland is never going to happen with the current mayor and promoters :(
