I don't see the need for engine changes anyway, so all the better if a delay helps bring in a third brand. Next step: open the competition to other chassis. |

it's a shame, but there won't be a third manufacture.

Not a lot of "need" for a new engine expressed in that article. More power will surely make the cars harder to drive, especially those that aren't as well set up. Normally I'd say that would benefit the big 3 teams, but after Barber and COTA I'm not so sure. I wonder if this isn't more about setting a new lap record at Indy, within the constraints of the current chassis. Not a big selling point for me. |

Perhaps Honda could afford to put some more effort into reliability if they have reached the limit with performance.

Well it might be a distraction, not what they need, although doing it off the shelf helps. They certainly do well with their sportscar projects on the side

JR Hildebrand is to return to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing for the 500, carrying #48 made famous by Dan Gurney.

The Advanced Frontal Protection deflector, made it's debut at yesterday's IMS open test and is the first phase in cockpit protection, with an announcement later in May, on the next development.
https://www.indycar.com/News/2019/04...eflector-debut Edit: Looking at the two photos of the AFP, it looks like has changed somewhat, with the addition of a bracket behind placed it. http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/142979 Last edited by bjohnsonsmith; 27 Apr 2019 at 00:40. |

Too simplistic. I don't think it will prevent much.

But there will always be the it's not perfect let's call it all off cries, and personally those names should be collected and banned from buying tickets. Not a fan of distopian government styled name collecting but it's getting ridiculous with the peanut gallery brain trust and it's time to call them on it. Thankfully some reporters have and have no problem with that, you make a dumbass statement you deserve to own it. |

I like this one, seems alright for me. Safety will always progress. Seems this one is right for me. I doubt it won’t work, they know what they are doing here. It’s the right move. There is no reason why I see it is not

Well it’s interesting to see where Indycar goes from here. I think those at the top will make a decision based on logic, like they usually do
