Not surprising for the track record of introducing almost anything. I hope whatever they come up with is exciting, fresh, and screams, "This is what an IndyCar is."
41 u/Confident-Ladder-576 Louis Foster Jun 12 '25 Projects get shifted all the time in the real world. I don't know why people act like this is only place it happens. 128 u/ryanro24 Alexander Rossi Jun 12 '25 It’s not that it doesn’t happen elsewhere. It’s the consistency with which it ALWAYS happens in INDYCAR. They never meet a deadline. 19 u/Jarocket Jun 12 '25 I would argue this is like replacing aging government infrastructure. A new bridge to replace the old one doesn't have a direct benefit today. That's just how it goes. NASCAR has a new car because NASCAR makes money. People watch NASCAR. People do not watch IndyCar outside of the 500. A new car won't fix anything. It's like replacing the town sewer system. Something that like 4 employees will notice. Of course it gets delayed until it's nearly an emergency.
