IndyCar champ @AlexPalou got a handful of laps in the new car in the rain and shared his thoughts with us Sunday morning at @IMS. Hoping for the weather to improve enough to get some laps in the dry this afternoon, but no guarantees.
More images from the rear.
1-Large diffuser with removable pieces to adjust length, rear attenuator crash structure
2-Compact gearbox and center rear wing mounting points
3-Integrated wing lights, shapely side floor profile
4-Clear engine cover with cooling slots
Here are some detail shots of the IR28 from yesterday. Thoughts on the design?
1-Front suspension design
2-Dual sidepod inlets, wide and aggressive shape
3-Under-chassis driver cooling inlet (quite large)
4-Front wing adjustment that moves 2 elements together

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.
In het echie ziet de IR-28 er al een stuk beter uit dan op de renders 🧐
En niet vergeten: vandaag en morgen is de shakedown op de IMS road course, dus hou de ogen open voor beelden van een rijdende nieuwe #INDYCAR
For those who have enjoyed the IOWA Speedway, we said good bye to its designer today. Paxton Waters also designed the IMS admin building. RIP my friend.
Dropped by to watch the IR-28 testing at IMS. First time seeing an IndyCar outside the pit lane since moving to the US!
First impression from afar: it looks so much cooler than the current one.

What an honor to help @IndyCar into this next chapter. The future couldn’t be brighter for our sport and so proud of all those involved in the IR-28. @DallaraGroup
