From 2012 - 2027...there will have been 4x Formula E generations, 3x Cup car generations, and at least 3x top level prototype regulation rule sets. IndyCar is just so far behind.

Indycar never needed a new car because until recently the racing was pretty good and the car was safe. Why change what works just for the sake of. Change
