Andresen Promotions took over. That's the USF2000 folks. They know how to fill a grid.

Is it really necessary to have both Pro Mazda & USF2000? Cars lap within 2 to 3 seconds of each other....

Really? Harsh economic times these days & grids are hard to fill. Would it be less expensive for driverz to achieve there goal if they drove in 2 "LADDER" series than 3?

That should solve everything.

USF2000 hasn't been a huge success.

It all comes down to money and interest in spending that money on a ladder series to nowhere, regardless of what the cars or series are.

No news on the new Indy Lights car yet. I guess that with the executive changes, this will take one more year.

With the "Road to Indy" nearly dead, single car counts in lights and the mazda series barely alive and FF2000 the same, it doesn't bode well for the future.

Someone is about the push the toilet handle for one last flush.

I do get the feeling that things are being made more complicated than they need to be. I think choosing Dallera for the Indy chassis was a bad choice, and now not choosing anybody for the lights chassis....wow, just wow.

According to this,

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/99864,

one of the criteria for the new Indy Lights car will be the potential to integrate an alternative fuel source. Natural gas anyone?

There have been quite a few companies in the running, Yes, I think Dallara were involved, and the Deltawing, a Dyson led group, a Herta led group and Swift.

There are some nice looking cars here that really put the ugly DW12 to shame. I hope they don't chose Dallara again. It would be great to see IndyCar support and promote some homegrown engineering talent.

Dyson.


Herta, Newey, Mygale.


Swift



The Dyson drawing looks suspiciously like the drawing for Lola's proposed IndyCar that was rejected by the ICONIC committee.



Roll on 2015.

Doesn't sound to me that any of this is going anywhere soon.

The Mazda series went bust last year, only to have the pieces picked up by another company with no assurance of any grid of cars for next year.

The lights series can barely put 10 cars out there and USF2000 can barely get a field together.

Reality is tightening it's grip on this crowd.

It's just another sign the family is running out of money and can't continue to subsidize the existence of the sport.

I would say it's just another sign of a serious lack in leadership; this should have been addressed a long time ago but like IndyCar in general things have just been left to stagnate and this is the result.
