Reply to "Danica Patrick"

Today’s finish must have been a disappointment to the Danica team.

Showing her telemetry on the screen early shows why she went from 9th starting position to about 16th. Although lots of people went out with the same type of wrecks... makes you think the announcer might be right when he is pointing at the car’s chassis design....

This might be the case if all the chassis are built by the same operation!

I did a little research...

quote:
Manufacturers:

Indy cars are a “Spec Series”, where all the cars are built to the same specifications, varying between seasons due to the racing venue. The carbon fiber chassis is built by Dallara which all teams use, while the engines are built either by Honda or Chevrolet. But while the actual cars are the same, the aero kits are unique depending on the engine supplier. This means that sidepods, engine covers, rear wheel guards, and rear wing main planes provide teams with flexible development areas. In addition, the kits are different for varying road courses.
