I hear Ricky Stenhouse is available as a consolation prize, Feels Villeneuve.wicka posted:Lmao, is this really saying she didn’t approach them until late December? What the gently caress was she doing before that? Waiting for all the sponsors and teams to crawl over each other for her services, I'm guessing. I'm surprised she went back with GoDaddy- didn't they screw her pretty hard after they ended her sponsorship in Cup over not following through with a personal services contract or something to that effect? e- Apparently, she's only willing to accept a ride in which she thinks she has a chance to win. That's going to have to be ECR on the Indy side, right? CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jan 18, 2018 |

She hasn't been in any Indycar since 2011, never in a DW12. The new aero kit is probably her best hope at a slightly more level playing field but nearly everyone else in the field will have months to years of experience with the DW12 that she won't. I'm not surprised at ICS jumping in to help, either. The series definitely wants her in from publicity alone, but team owners aren't going to be as keen on her without some serious money.

If she comes back in May, that'll be when most people are getting their first exposure to it as well, no?

I would think it would be closer to the 2012-2014 DW12 with the original kit, which made more of its downforce from the undercar than above. And obviously experience isn't everything - look at Alonso. But Danica is no Alonso.

Honda and Chevy have mutually agreed to limit development on the current engines (2018 was gonna be a big spending r&d year in the cycle), to start looking towards an all new design and potential more builders in 2020. The parameters for the 2020 engine are apparently already done, and the slogan? FAST AND LOUD:Jay Frye posted:"We hope to have some sort of news on this early in the year," Frye said. "And we are in agreement that the power piece is what's next in the equation. Everybody wants more power, so that's what we're working on giving our fans with this plan. 'Fast and loud,' brother, that's the thing we're going for." http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/146847-indycar-engine-development-agreement-new-formula-coming

If she carried the paranoia about people picking on her she's had from time to time in racing into Uber driving, she'd get arrested for kicking some innocent 75 year old's rear end who cut her off in traffic on her second day. Or "That drat 18 year old just changes lanes too hard and you can't change lanes too hard."

Minto Took posted:Safe to assume the series is still too broke to allow turbo I4s along with the twin turbo V6s? I don't think you will see a mixed spec cause of performance balancing concerns from the manufacturers themselves, honestly. IndyCar does mild BOP, but a full blown IMSA/PWC style balance would be bad news probably. The meltdowns would be incredible. If i had to guess, I imagine V6 and V8, turbo and non-turbo, are probably on the table. Dunno about I4 turbo, but maybe! They want more power with similar to current cost constraints, and displacement will solve that pretty well. If its 2.65l V8 twin-turbos, I will laugh forever.

The original proposal for the current formula allowed I4s with larger displacement than the V6es, (don't remember the exact number) but it was dropped because there weren't any manufacturers interested in making one and they didn't want to complicate the chassis to allow for a package no one was going to use.

Turbo V6s are fine, but letting them boost those things to the high heavens would be awesome. Everything to continue along the Rick Mears “less downforce, more power, let the drivers figure it out” train of thought.

Daytona and Indy were her two most consistent tracks by far, I think she's hoping she can put in a couple good performances and people will remember her better than if she just walked away after her garbage NASCAR career.
