Indy Car 2 : control e-cell designed and built to the best standards (The people who constructed the Comanche super maxi race yacht could build the cells). Rear engine, transaxle. (allow future conversion to hybrid/ full electric).

More advanced engine (rear location) so as not to be a competitor to nascar.
Models aligned to sportscar rather than car models nascar is aligned to.
Quite frankly, I don't agree with any of that.
