Indy Lights is brought to you by Dan Andersen Promotions
So, it's about to be announced: Dan Andersen has bought Indy Lights.
“Our model for operating development programs appears to be well-received by teams and drivers, and I am fortunate to have a strong staff in place. We believe in the Mazda Road to Indy, and are grateful that INDYCAR has chosen to continue its support for years to come.” So let's hope that the championship grows back. |

AP wrote a full story on the takeover by Andersen. It's on several websites: Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, etc.

Gomick, the USF2000 also started with low grids, but grew to 30 for year 3.

Apparently they'll be getting a new car for 2015, the announcement of which will be made within 90 days, otherwise they will race an updated Dallara for 2014.

Please make it non-spec and with a cost cap, like LMP2
Other series might use the same cars |

I may be wrong but I believe the Indy Lights chassis in similar to one era of the WSR chassis?
Make it similar in Aero and looks. |

Well, the actual Road to Indy schedule is out:
o- St Pete (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Long Beach (Indy Lights) o- Barber (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Indianapolis GP (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Indianapolis ovals (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Houston (Pro Mazda) o- Pocono (Indy Lights) o- Toronto (USF2000, Indy Lights) o- Mid-Ohio (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Milwaukee (Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) o- Sears Point (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights) No Detroit, Texas, Iowa or Fontana. All races are on IndyCar weekends, so no Trois-Rivieres or United SportsCar either. It's just 10 Indy Lights rounds, 8 Pro Mazda rounds and 7 USF2000 rounds. In contrast, most road/street rounds will have multiple races. Also, it's just 3 ovals in Indy Lights, 2 in Pro Mazda and 1 in USF2000. Some television news: Quote:

Dallara's new Lights car. Looks very Lola/Reynard ish. Shame the DW12 couldn't have looked more like this.

Those wheels look tiny. I hope that it's a rendering mistake.

What an exciting day for the series, another Dallara. I'm sure this was covered nationwide in all the papers.

Dan Andersen bargained hard. If he had chosen Dallara directly, he would have got a much worse deal.

I haven't been following this, so apologies if I've missed it - what kind of engines will the series be running? Are they still using the old Infiniti at the moment? It's kind of hard to tell as mentions of the engine manufacturer have been strangely missing from the box scores, web site, etc. over the past years.

Dan Andersen had been saying that he hadn't seen a decent proposal yet, unlike with the chassis, where he was happy about the proposals.
