{Admin Note} With all of the excitement——and questions around the Future IndyCar Concept Announcement. We at IndyCar.com thought we’d enlist our users to have fun with the open design concept that the 2012 IndyCar chassis will endorse. For more information please visit the www.indycar.com/2012 page for interviews, car information and of course…the details on how you can design your own concept.

This is the latest design submission, would love to see different angles of this spec.
Can’t wait to see what everyone else is coming up with–submit your designs!! We enjoy posting your work so get to the drawing board and come up with something creative and innovative!
everyone agrees, indy cars should have no high roll bar like they do now, turbo them so we don’t need them looking like formula 1 cars! 2006 lola’s and 2007 panoz chassis are examples of cars with low roll bars and no air scoop above the driver’s head
Sorry to burst your bubble but I don’t agree, Travis. The Panoz G-Force was a sexy looking IndyCar!
when is the end of year dinner banquet, and is it on tv or internet???? or did i miss it already lol
@Travis, those aren’t high roll bars, that’s an airbox. An ugly part of having a naturally aspirated engine in an open wheel car.
There are some junior formula’s in Europe with naturally aspirated engines where the intake is on the side of the cowl. They have the traditional rollbar and not an airbox
I didnt agree because there would be a fatal crash
Panoz DP01. Thank Very Much!
