I'm more intrigued by what is attached to the rear wing end plate (very right of second picture)

I like it more than chevy's monstrosity, but that's damning it with faint praise

I like how it flattens the fat ass syndrome of the wheel guards vs the DW 12 #tryingtothinkpositive

Does look like something out of transformers though, and not the good kind.

Loved the front and rear wing. Front is f1 modern style and the rear from early 80s. And the car as a whole has some unique character with its sharp lines. Also always better than the dw12 when its projected to improve performance.

I agree yay for the speedway version, but.. wow. I guess to me, this will always be the best indycar package.

Someone on the iRacing forums screen captured a few photos from the video during the part where they were showing the speedway aero package getting tested. They tried a swan neck style rear wing mount.

I count 26 individual wing flaps / elements. When a driver asks for a front wing adjustment mid-race, I expect that to take as long an engine change.

Montoya "I want to add two turns of front wing as the car pushing too much"

Engineer "Ok Juan, which of the 16 front wing flaps do you want us to adjust?"

:lol: assuming the car actually makes it that far, there's so many parts on the front wing that Chuck Norris squinting at it would cause it to collapse.

That's what an F1 car would look like nowadays if they hadn't banned the winglets.
