Earlier this week, the Indy Racing League has decided to chose the new Dallara project as the new Indy car to be used from 2012. That decision does not please everyone, however…
DeltaWing RacingCars, of Indianapolis had presented the most stunning and innovative project.
However, the ICONIC Committee decided to chose the project of Dallara.
DeltaWing quickly reacted to the decision and published a release that says: “We wish to congratulate the ICONIC Committee and the IZOD IndyCar Series on their decision regarding the 2012 chassis strategy. However, we are extremely disappointed that they have decided to pursue a strategy that does not include the DeltaWing.”
“The DeltaWing concept was designed to provide a relevant solution to the environmental, economic and social realties that must be addressed by all premier status racing series.”
“We proposed a revolutionary solution that met or exceeded all of the IndyCar Series criteria for the new car, resulting in a chassis with half the weight, half the drag, half the cost, half the horsepower and half the fuel consumption of the existing IndyCar. This was accomplished with a design that would provide more on-track excitement and performance on every circuit where the IZOD IndyCar Series competes and the potential for 235 mph or faster laps at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”
After thanking their partners and investers, DeltaWing mentioned that they would announce their future plans later.
