One of the more interesting aspects of the off season will be clarification of the engine manufacturers that will join Honda in providing power plants for Indy Racing. Some of the rumors are exotic, including Porsche, Audi and Alfa-Romeo. No doubt we will have turbochargers. It appears Chevy, Ford and Chrysler have a few other issues. Some of the foreign manufacturers got screwed the first time around with the cart series.
I like the idea of innovation but why limit innovation to what manufacturers can provide in a crate? Even badging can be interesting.
My idea of innovation is not limiting technology to internal combustion. The Indy Car Series would garner a lot of ‘green’ publicity if they went that route and even opened alternative fuels a technology a little wider.
Props given where props are due to Honda for providing such a bulletproof power plant over the past few years
