"Balancing Performance: Prioritizing Hybrid Power Over IndyCar Chassis Upgrades"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by RACER
Optimizing hybrid power is the current priority for IndyCar, with the focus on improving the quality of racing and attracting a third original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Despite calls for a new chassis, the trusted Dallara DW12 will continue to be used, undergoing significant updates to support the move to hybrid engines. The series hopes that the introduction of hybrid technology will entice additional auto manufacturers to join, and the success of the hybrid system will determine the possibility of a new chassis in the future.
