Announcement of future non-spec car regs?

When might an announcement be made about future regs? Surely before the Indy 500?

We don't know yet, but its due in 2010 iirc, possibly 2011.

The current Dallara isn't a spec car by rules but a spec car by de facto; in theory someone could supply another chassis, however they wouldn't stand much of a chance against Dallara.

Chem reminisces of the Falcon IRL chassis.....

Seriously, if I had the money, I would've just bought a Falcon and entered a team that year, just to have the satisfaction of knowing that there was something other than the pug-ugly Dallara or semi-decent but still pretty "blah" G-Force.

That being said, I also miss the old R&S IRL car.

Only two suppliers are currently admitted, i.e. Panoz and Falcon, but, as you rightly point out, if Dallara have become the sole one there must be a reason in terms of performance.

unfortunately for some idealists, nobody cares about a race car being pretty or ugly, what matters for everyone is the car being the fastest.

pretty or ugly only matter about road cars

Be interesting to see if they have a universal chassis like Nascar has with the CoT, atm they have oval cars and road course cars.

If they have a universal chassis that can run both then running Motegi/Long Beach back to back may be viable.

The cars are the same, they just use 3 different wing packages (short oval/road course, intermediate oval, and Indy).

NASCAR is quite different in that their cars can be built by any competent chassis builder with a machine shop.

IndyCars are built of much more exotic materials and there are drastically fewer groups that could build these chassis.
