Interview: John Lopes and Lee Dykstra
There's a good interview on the Speed Channel web page with CART Vice President of Racing Operations John Lopes and Director of Technology and Competition Lee Dykstra. If you have a moment read through it, it sheds some light on Cart's future...from a more technical perspective.
http://www.speedtv.com/auto/?lvl=3a&cat=20&id=3496 Some highlights: -fuel windows to go, fuel enrichment switch to be removed from drivers cockpit -penalties to be relaxed such that the punishment fits the crime (Fernandez situation discussed in depth) -They will possibly allow the stewards to move a lapped car out of the way during a yellow flag situation toward the end of the race to allow a clean race to the finish. -Standing Starts could very well return to Atlantics next year, but are unlikely in Cart in the near future (makes sense -horsepower will be in the range of 750 (w 41.5 inches of boost) for road courses and 700 (w/ 39 inches of boost)for ovals. On the subject of car count...John Lopes says Quote:
