Palou: “I don’t know, maybe I’m talking too early, but I think we’re going to break a lot of IndyCar records on all kinds of tracks. So, it just feels like it’s a faster car. It feels like it's a car that is more capable.” #IndyCar
Thing I was so happy to see today during the first official test for the new IndyCar was how 50% of the invited media were at least 30ish or younger. Couple OGs as well, but critically, there were a number of newer members of the media onsite to document the day. VERY important.
Teams won start testing the new 2028 INDYCAR until after the 2027 season. INDYCAR VP Mike O'Gara goes through the testing timeline that starts today with initial tests on the IMS road course with Alexander Rossi today and Alex Palou tomorrow. Won't test in rain but will in damp.
I asked about the lifespan of the IR28 today.
The tub will have a shorter life than the DW12, with visual updates planned every three years.
Theres a lot more (video tomorrow in more detail) but I liked most of the things I heard.
Will the new 2028 INDYCAR have power steering (the current INDYCAR does not). It possibly will have a "power assist" ... what INDYCAR VP Mike O'Gara said earlier today: @IndyCarOnFOX
This is two studio shoots with the actual car. One Monday in carbon before system check on track Tuesday. Wed/Thurs it was wrapped and shot in studio today. Thanks to a huge effort from many - this is of the actual new @IndyCar!
