The Indy Racing League has announced some changes to its aerodynamic rules for oval races in order to improve the quality of racing in the IndyCar Series and not repeat boring races like the one that was presented at Richmond.
For the next oval race that will be held in Kentucky at the beginning of August the teams will have additional aero options with tire ramps, sidepod extensions and brake backing plates.
The intention is that these modifications will give the option of adding up to 300 pounds in additional downforce, which the IRL hopes will encourage more overtaking.
