Dallara's 2012 proposals
Per Track Side Online

According to the USA Today article the car would cost $385,000 (down from the current $700,000) and " would feature narrower tires, less horsepower (a drop from 630 to 570) and a lighter design (1,390 pounds vs. the current model's 1,530 pounds). The reduction in power, weight and tire width would increase fuel efficiency."
I personally prefer design one.Most posters on this forum can't think past their own screen names...

Here's Image #3. And I like this one, primarily because of the protection from launching that is provided by the flares in front of the front and rear tires. I like the other two, but #1 looks too mch like what we already know as an AWOR car. #2 is a bit of a departure but not enough of one. I think we need a bigger leap from the past. #3 does that too.
My $.02.

So the league told the chassis manufacturers to prepare for a chassis that needs to house a turbo powered engine according to these designs.

How sad that the once innovative US open wheel racing scene is reduced to this crap. I never thought I'd see the day when a new race car is promoted on how it looks more than any other consideration. Well I suppose, like NASCAR it is 'entertainment' first, motor racing second.

Design one looks too much like a modification of the current Dallara for a turbo motor, and the sharkfin and all the wing endplates remind me too much of the original A1GP cars. Design 2 just does nothing for me at all. Design 3, well, I don't care for the bumperettes on the front wing. I agree it looks like a cross between a single seat version of a current LeMans series car and a hotwheels. I guess I've just never really seen a Dallara Design for any series I really cared for. Next up, PLEASE!!!!!
I'd much prefer to see something that looks like the superleague car.
I don't think a wind tunnel had much to do with ANY of those designs!HINCHTOWN!!
