This should add another dimension to the DW12. Hopefully, a little more overtaking will happen. By the way, anybody know when IndyCar will introduce a standing start? I thought Toronto was a possibility according to some reports.

Sounds good to me, but is it enough power? If so, who will hit it first, and then brake last? If it's used well, then it will be a great tool. I loved how it was used in Champcar.

Like it for road and street courses. Hate it for Oval races.
They do need to bring in Standing starts on all races. It would accomplish to things. First off it is much more exciting and 2nd it would solve the ridiculous problem with the sloppy starts we have now.

So if I understand this article correctly, they are going to reduce the boost pressure from 160 kPa to 150 kPa and when PTP is engaged, that will take the boost level back to 160 kPa. On other words, they are taking away 50 HP full time to allow 50 HP to be available for PTP. This is unbelievably stupid. The racing is already good, with regards to passing, so why do we need this gimmick at all? To take away 50 HP from an engine that many think needs more power for an unneeded gimmick like PTP is a head scratcher.
