Air Born Indy- the plan?

Well from the IRL website you see a logo of a odd looking openwheeler, taking flight? coincidnce, this kind of thing should be stricken from IRL postings for a 'PR' standpoint...agree?
I am not starting a flaming thread or bashing, but the irony of this, was too much, my point has indy done aqnything to discuss aero effects of airborne cars and any possible fixes?

It's a hyperlink to the media site, and the tag says this:

What the heck has a picture of a flying ICS car got to do with the media? Or maybe it isn't supposed to be flying, but the IndyCar Series logo is angled to give the impression that the car is running on banking. So if it isn't flying, what exactly is it doing, then?

It's just a graphic of a car pointing upwards. Stop looking for controversy where there is none. Frankly this is bordering on flame-bait. No one in the IRL likes to see the cars airborne, even without consequences such as the recent ones.

I know it wasn't supposed to be flying, it was irony that they had this here in the first place, and on the media link, a tilted car is on banking, this link i couldn't understand.

You never see a car like this - unless it's taking flight. Big screw up there, in PR-terms.
