The month of May is upon us, and the buildup to the 2011 Indy 500 has started with the unveiling of the next generation 2012 Indycar.
I have to say that after the big build up of the design "competition" and the proposals from Lola, Swift, Dallara and DeltaWing, the winning Dallara design is disappointing.
It looks far too much like the current Dallara for my liking. After the drama and "boldness" of the DeltaWing the Dallara show cars look... normal.
Admittedly the oval car looks quite smooth with the large side pods lifting the air up and around the rear wheels. The road course car looks like a very aerodynamic, intricate, barge board laden, modern single seater race car. I guess I was hoping for something a little more... revolutionary...
Regardless of how the cars look, I genuinely hope the new chassis with its different aero packages and the new 2.2 litre engine format breathes new life into the Indycar Series and the Indy 500!
