It’s either Hinchcliffe, Palou, Or Sette Camara in the Coyne 18. Chilton is in the Carlin but I dunno who else is, probably Kimball but we will see who else. Daly has been tipped for the Carpenter’s RC/SC ride. The Foyt situation is unclear, Kanaan will be back for the Ovals in the 14, but road and street duties are apparently going to be given to someone else. The #4 car will be occupied by Dalton Kellett - if your wondering who that is don’t worry, others are too. He’s a lights backmarker that has done very little to suggest he belongs in the series. He’s never won a race in lights.

Looks a little goofier than the original tests, I think still better than the halo though.

The halo looks awful standing still but after like two races it just disappeared, the same will probably happen with the aeroscreen. But I also think the aeroscreen has the potential to look really good on a chassis that's built from the ground up with it in mind.

If the car is black the Aeroscreen looks better.

On the surface, that ain't right, but it's safer (which I'm on board with) and we'll probably be fine with it once we see it in action and are used to it.

Looks real good w/the road course wing IMO, but pretty goofy in speedway config.

Still better than the crapwagons.

It will look better when they design the car around it, the front looks fine to me but the back of it is really abrupt.

It looks so so bad from some angles, like a box dropped on the car.



It will def look better when designed into the next gen car, but man these next two(+?) years are gonna be rough. I guess thats modern IndyCar though, you get like 2-3 years of the cars looking good and then they have to go back to lookin like rear end.

Yikes.

That just made realize that all the photos I've ever seen of it have either been a) an onboard vid or b) from precisely the right angle to make it seem significantly sleeker than it is.

I think it’s a safe choice. Daly’s strong suit is street and road courses - hopefully it goes well.

Palou. He drove for Team Goh in Super GT300 but he tested with Coyne in the summer.

At least he won a race in Super Formula last year and stuff i guess? For a ridebuyer in the 19, it could be worse. And the Team Goh mashup is cool/weird.

Canning Bourdais still sucks poo poo and i hate him for it.

Goh is some kind of scion to Bridgestone money, and got back into racing last year with a GT3 car in GT300. It didn’t turn out to be as much of a program as they’d promised (missing out on the IGTC round at Suzuka too) but still.

Weird tie up, but Coyne always seems to come up with money from somewhere!

what are yall's pick for best race of the decade? Fontana 2015 was bugfuck crazy but the 2013 500 is my pick for being super entertaining with the best winner.

São Paulo 2013 may be the best road/street race.

I recently watched the '13 Baltimore GP and it was pretty wild, lots of attrition, and lots of hilarious contact. Double file restarts on street circuits is a hilarious, terrible idea
