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."

This feels like a demotion for whatever reason.

I think Indycar realized that their grid was too dependent on superteams. Penske and Andretti-Herta still are 1/3rd of the grid more or less but it's better than Ganassi-Andretti-Penske bening 50%.

To be honest, the Ganassi 83 and 8 cars never really seemed to deliver.

After winning the championship in CART Flag to Flag you unlock a secret high FPS mode. In addition, you get a Bonus car and driver, which is none other than Shigeaki Hattori’s Bettenhausen Epson Car. Somebody at Sega had a wicked sense of humour.

If anything it will just be Buddy Lazier failing to turn Laps a la 2015.
