That team has come a long way in the last 20 years, shame Trevor never got the chance at Jordan

Well, if the K of KVSH goes to Carlin, what happens to VSH Racing? Indy only like before Sulli joined KV? We'll see how these things develop in the coming months.

It could be a partnership like Andretti Autosport has with Bryan Herta.

Formulahistory · 16 Oct 2016, 18:58 (Ref:3680731)

but that sounds good: One team Kalkhoven/Carlin and one Sullivan/Vasser.

I think this is what most fans were hoping for, when it was announced Dallara had been awarded with designing and building the next chassis by the ICONIC committee, back in 2010.

I just wonder if there will be subtle, visual variations, in order to provide variety and distinguish Chevy from Honda? The article doesn't say.

Formulahistory · 26 Oct 2016, 14:34 (Ref:3683043)

I love the current cars. They are very individual and not almost the same like in other Formula classes...

It's only the aerokits that differentiate IndyCar from other Formulas, otherwise it's a spec chassis.

Very individual? How, pray tell is that? FormulaHistory? I think not.

Montoya's only doing the 500 then. That's a shame, I hope it doesn't indicate that there's going to be many fewer cars next year

That's a bummer. Not sure about car counts.

Here's a link where he states that driving with Penske iit is his " best opportunity to win Indy again ."

If Dan Wheldon can do it in '11, so can JPM

It means Penske paid more than anyone else (not to mention putting out the best equipment). They are still running 4 cars full-time + Montoya's Indy only entry.

He's meaning they look much different than any other open wheel racecar in the world.

He had a lot of help from J.R. Hildebrand.

S griffin · 5 Nov 2016, 14:27 (Ref:3685504)

True, but that showed inexperience losing experience and he was there to take it at the end

Turn 4 is notoriously tricky, having caught out many a driver no matter what their level of experience is and unfortunately sometimes being fatal.

S griffin · 6 Nov 2016, 16:15 (Ref:3685973)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the crash more to do with him passing a backmarker on the outside when he didn't need to?

Here is the final lap and the backmarker didn't seem to be an issue.

He just blew it. He admitted it in an interview afterward. Hell, there have been many that did and didn't pay as high a price. Three I remember right off the top...Jimmy Clark in '66, two 360s to finish second; Danny Sullivan, one 360 to win, Mario going waaayyy high in '69...

**bjohnsonsmith** · 2 Dec 2016, 18:56 (Ref:3693156)

The DW12 chassis could be kept until 2020/21.
