With 2018 approaching, IndyCar has cracked the door open on more areas, and in some cases, the opportunity for teams to seek sponsorship and R&D contracts to develop new components in a racing environment could exist. "One of the things we've signed off on is bearings," Frye continued. "Bearings, and bearing races, excluding upright and gearbox bearings, provided they are the same size and type as the original ones they're replacing. So that means teams, and some already have these relationships in other series where they compete, can work with a vendor to make new bearings for their cars or use one they happen to like. And if they can strike a business arrangement while doing that, it's the best of both worlds. "Other things were still looking at are simple: brackets, suspension clevis, studs, rear shock shear plates, and there's a group of things like that we're talking through internally. They'll all be in the final rule book for next year, and we're about two-thirds done with it, I'd say." On top of the new deregulated parts that will go into the rule book, Frye was waiting to complete Monday's all-drivers meeting in Indianapolis before solidifying a few competition changes his department has come up with. "We have one more round of feedback to go through with the teams, and then we'll make the locked-in parts changes and go from there," he said. "And then on the other side, we've had 10 or 12 changes we wanted to present to the drivers to get their feedback on and weigh in with our own before we go forward in some of the racing changes we've been looking at. We're pushing to get everything done with the rules before the end of the month."

Marco has been switching cars/engineers way too often. Maybe this cars/engineers things aren't the problem, you think? Though I am curious to see how he'll get on with the new cars. If he's still mid-packing it at the end of 2018 it's time to talk about him moving on from Indycar.

Proud Christian Mom posted:Andretti cars led last years 500 for 95 laps, Marco accounted for none of those Amusing fact - there are only three drivers who have led more laps than Marco (141) at Indy without a win. Jimmy Snyder (181), Rex Mays (266), and Michael (431). Dixon actually must have just bumped Michael out of the top 10 all-time lap leaders, since he's up to 439 laps led. While we're at it, Michael has actually led two more laps at Indy than Mears. With the way the races play out these days, Helio could easily rack up a fourth win and still not officially lead enough laps to pass either of them on that list.

The number switch is probably due to sponsorship stuff i imagine. 98 still technically has a different ownership structure than the other cars. Their engineers are swapping too, so its not that.

Helio is still a draw with the mom crowd (source: my mom), so I could see another three years of one-offs barring sponsorship money.

One of the recent Marshall Pruett Week in Indy shows was with him.

Carlin announced a return to F2, having essentially previously left it to free up resources for Indycar so I'm a little worried about that one.

small NEWS DUMP: Double points for Indy and Sonoma are likely to continue, but Indy Qually points may be redone. Dixon thinks that speedways shouldn't change much, but short ovals and road/street courses should be a whole 'nother monster. To be fair, the speedway races have been pretty good the last few years, the road and short ovals have been Chevy roflstomping everyone.
