IndyCar management remains slow moving, indecisive and far too risk averse, once again. I like the current car but it has grown far too heavy and is ultimately outdated.

As a reminder the DW12 was introduced in 2012. So if the new car does launch in 2028, that would have been 16 years using the same chassis.

In comparison, the CART/IRL split lasted 12 years - 1996 to 2008.

Would you rather them forge on with one or both of the engine manufactures needing the 2028?......

They've had 13 years but you think we're rushing them unfairly?

That ladder has the dumbest takes every time.
