From Inside Indiana News today:
"Italian-based racing company Dallara has won the competition to create the new chassis for the IndyCar Series and plans to expand its operations in Speedway to build the engine.
The expansion could create more than 80 new jobs in Speedway. Dallara will move into a new, state-of-the-art technology center located on Main Street, investing $7 million into the facility.
Cars will feature a rolling chassis with an enhanced safety cell, and manufacturers will be able to be dress the cars in multiple ways.
IndyCar made the announcement Wednesday. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said the cars will be ready to go in 18 months.
Dallara also created the current chassis, which has been used since 2003. Five companies bid on the chassis.
The chassis will cost $349,000, with a complete car costing $385,000. It is a 45-percent price decrease from the current formula."
