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.

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.

The 1st FR 3.5. Same monocoque and similar nose, IIRC.

Good news on the 2015 chassis:

Quote:

Their bids are very interesting, and I have to select one that's fast, that's sexy, that will go 200 miles per hour, but more than that. I also need to select a car that has the right terms for Indy Lights team owners.
News on the engine aren't so good:

Quote:
For the engines, we've had five or six proposals, and frankly, none have really jumped out and caught my attention. I'm down to two proposals that I like the most, and I wish I could say I'm going to announce an engine at the same time as the chassis, but I'm going to need more commitment from an engine manufacturer before I feel ready to pull the trigger.
This guy is too honest, don't you think?

More news by Dan Andersen:

Quote:
We will be doing 7 events with 14 races for USF2000, 8 events with 14 races for Pro Mazda, and 10 events with 14 races for Indy Lights,” Andersen said.

“All seven USF2000 events will be with Pro Mazda and Indy Lights. Pro Mazda will have one more oval than USF2000, and Indy Lights will add Long Beach and Pocono to what Pro Mazda does. We’ll all be together for the most part, which is great.”
My schedule prediction is:

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 RP (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights)
o- Milwaukee (Pro Mazda, Indy Lights)
o- Houston (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights)
o- Pocono (Indy Lights)
o- Toronto (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights)
o- Mid-Ohio (USF2000, Pro Mazda, Indy Lights)

No Detroit, Texas, Iowa, Sonoma or Fontana.

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:
All Indy Lights races will feature same-day coverage on NBC Sports Network with international rights held by ESPN International.

Pro Mazda and USF2000 will also be featured on NBC Sports Network with a minimum of four highlight shows, which will also be broadcast on Motors TV in Europe.

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

Dallara aren't the only contender but you can bet your last dollar they'll get the contract.

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.

According to this article on the website, the engine package will be announced in a few weeks time.

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.
