I got my first peak at one of the concepts of the radical new Indy Car.
Now.. before you bomb my email with "that's not the real car", I realize that this is just a concept put out by one group as to what they think the new design is going to be like.
I'm just hear to say... I hope this is it.
At first, I wasn't digging it. But after a day or so to think about it, I've decided I like the new design.
Now, I'm not a traditionalist (there's a shocker), so I know that dyed-in-the-wool types are not going to like it. Much like the NASCAR COT design, I liked that car right away and I know many people who still "don't like the wing".
An out take from OpenPaddock.net
What do we know about this supposed “Radical” new car design for 2012? Here is a summary of all the information that has come out to date. This is in response to a couple articles that have come out in the last few days from Speed TV and the Indianapolis Business JournalAccording to Robin Miller’s article, the non-disclosure agreement that he was under has just expired, but his article still did not provide a picture of this new IndyCar concept, but it did add quite a bit to our understanding of what this cars design goals are.
The car’s chief designer is Ben Bowlby, who happens to be the current chief engineer for Target Chip Ganassi and former lead designer for Lola. Clearly, this guy has the credentials to back up his design effort, though one would have to question what kind of advantage this would give TCGR if the car were accepted. One also would have to ponder why Penske was denied their request to make their own chassis back when Dalarra, Panoz & Falcon were approved as IRL chassis manufacturers. I guess a lot has changed since then.
The whole article regarding the design and the progress and secrecy of the new IndyCar 2012 is here : http://openpaddock.net/2009/12/13/indycar-radical-new-car-for-2012/
Check it out and then let us know what you think.
