A new constructor has shown interest in the future of the Indy Lights Series by submitting a chassis and engine proposal for the new car that is expected to hit the track starting in 2014.
Dyson Racing, along with a collection of ex-Lola employees, have proposed to series’ officials a brand new car which has some of the features that had Lola’s 2012 IndyCar design.
The car named the Hulman HGIL014 would be motorized by Dyson's Advanced Engine Research (AER) company Mazda-badged 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine used in the team's championship-winning ALMS LMP1 program.
Besides Dyson, DeltaWing, Swift and Mygale are also known to have submitted chassis proposals.
On the engine front, Honda, with its 2.8-liter, twin-turbo V6 ALMS P2 engine, has tendered an engine supply proposal along with an enticing Indy Lights-to-IndyCar assistance package.
Mazda was expected to receive heavy consideration for the Lights contract with its new-for-2013 4-cylinder, bi-turbo diesel Skyactiv P2 engine but with limited time and the series looking to announce its 2014 engine package at the Baltimore event, Mazda was forced to withdraw its bid.
