    Nice Wallpaper

    The IndyCar website has some new wallpaper up for this year. Whatever your opinion of the Dallara, there is a VERY cool "exploded" view of it on the site.

    You know, "exploded", it doesn't look (quite) as bad. If the IRL ever gets a new chassis, they should take all these old dogs to a landfill and explode the rest of them.

    awesome - this is the sort of stuff you need out there to demonstrate how cool these (Indycars in general, not necessarily the Dallara in particular) cars are... like the really high quality cut-aways you used to see in the 1980's....

    How cool is a 8 year old car with a 10 year old engine?

    - c'mon all of the current formula cars more or less date to the advent of carbon fiber..... an exploded view of a March 87c doesn't look a whole bunch different than a Dallara or a new McLaren....

    Technically, the current Dallara and the current engine is not what we had 8-10 years ago. Both have had significant updates made in that time. Sure they're still a bit out of date, but the cars go fast (all things considered) and do so in a very safe manner. Postponing BOTH the chassis and engine to 2013 is a bit late imo, we need to have one or the other on track by then. But if they can somehow get 2-3 turbos running in the Dallaras in 2012, and the new chassis(s) by 2013, I would be OK with that.

    Pretty damn cool, even now. Is it as cool as we'd like? Of course not. But is it still cool? It sure as hell is.
