For all the fanfare the only thing certain is the Dallara chassis and Honda power,,,hmmmmm sounds familiar to me

The teams will develop their own aero packages however... Let's see how that works out.

Well see that's a stumbling block.
They want outfits to supply aero stuff but we're not sure who will actually come thru, plus the money teams will develop their own,,At high expense and probably a lot better than the lesser teams will be able to buy off the shelf.
A lot of the things being done are without consultation with the teams and that is ruffling a few feathers.

might as well post it here too:
Latest rumour: Indycars have approached Calder Park about running an Indycar event, either on the Oval or Road Course.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.
If this is the case, you may click here to solve the problem, or alternatively here too.

That sounds cool. Especially if they use the oval and drive the wrong way like the Aussies do!

Baltimore? Have you any pictures?

I remember the Beijing track. Amazingly stupid planning by A1GP there.
