I remember back when I said to get one of those old dallaras rolling it was around $675K and people called me out like some heretic because they thought the car was around $400K. There is a difference between the basic chassis and actually having it fitted out ready to roll out on the race track. |

According to John Beekuis and this video from IndyCar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM92_7LtdDE a a Front Wing is at 23.000$ and a Rear Wing at 30.000$ sold. (By Dallara of course)
An Aero-Kit includes Front Wing, Rear Wing, Air Box, Tire Ramps and all the Stuff around the Side Pods and costs you 75.000$. So, buying all that once from Dallara will cost you almost the same, if not more than 75.000$. So why are the Teamowners against the Aero-Kits, if they cost you the same or are cheaper than all the parts from Dallara ?!?!?!? Or is it all about Teamowners vs. Bernard ? And of course i wanna say hello to the hole Board |

Well, teams do react for a reason. The reaction is to make a mountain out of a molehill but there's always a reason. If the kits where cheap they'd like it.
Personally, I'm indifferent to 'kits. The series is either multichassis or it isn't, just play it straight. Beyond myself the series is making promises on one of their big selling points and breaking them and doing it over again. Not good for series stability. |
