I have been living with this abomination for the past day. It isn't a racing car. The Turbine was bad ass either the 67 or especially the Lotus 56, 68 car. They were innovative and cool. This ... THING looks like a something froma bad Roger Corman film that David Carradine would drive. Who made the cool looking concept model that was shown around and was badged with HONDA? Not the ones already linked to but the one with the fatter, rounded sideboards. It was cool and seemed to be what both the Cooper and the Turbine were...EVOLUTIONS of great racing car designs not a .... joke.
Ugghhhhhh.

The ultra narrow front end, and 300hp formula - I'm sorry but both are an insult to the tradition of top level auto racing...
It's a bad joke.-----

I would be happier to see the re-introduction of the front engine roadster to Indycars than that lawn dart called the DeltaWing. What a sad day for Indy if that DeltaWing hits that track...

This from Dallara makes the most sense - it's a substantial car, could handle some slight contact, and could handle a substantial powerplant with plenty of horsepower.
It's a no brainer...but looks like IndyCar is determined to shoot themselves in the foot by not containing this process properly...-----

Who wants to volunteer to sit in the Grandstand when they test this thing? It looks like it might fly.

I just would love to hear more on how Bowlby thinks this car will work because I aint buying it right now, but hey, I love the new thinking. I wont knock people for thinking outside the box. The Delta Wing just seems to belong in a model box...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

From a simple safety standpoint I can't see the delta wing being a goer. Trying to remember your rear wheels are twice as wide as your fronts when going for a gap in the heat of battle sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to me.
That said as a fan who has drifted away from US open wheelers I'm glad to see such new and original ideas - rather than the F1 rejects (cars not drivers) we have now. If they get this right a lot of old fans, like me, and new fans alike could be attracted to Indycars.All other opinions are wrong....
Hi, anyone have experience with this route https://mapy.cz/s/bedudugeme from Oschiri to Monte Lerno stage - hairpin on 17km from start? If it´s doable by normal car? Thanks.
