20 More Years: The Dallara Century? The 2012 Indycar Announcement…
This sucks…. more Dallara, only Dallara…. Here’s what we know. Dallara will build the “tub” and “aero Kits” will be used, with the possibility of a large number of aero kits, but in reality, probably not a whole lot, especially if Dallara build aero kits. It’s Delta Wing’s Open Source Bull Sh*t plagurized by Dallara, nice…. Also, this is basicly telling everyone outside of Indiana to go F*ck themselves. The first 28 cars sold to teams based in INDIANA will get a discount, but Dayle Coyne, Newman Haas, Penske, ect won’t. The cars will be built in Indiana, which is great for them, but DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER TO THE REST OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As someone who lives outside of Indiana, this Indiana first mentality is annoying.
Aero kits may be cool, but they don’t have any specifics… the cars will be branded Indycars and then the aero kit makers can brand them, but they don’t mention if Dallara will make a kit… But all the tubs will be built in Speedway Indiana…. As for the cost cutting, well, it’s an all spec series now, and Penske and Ganassi have won almost every race in the last 3 years, so….
I’m so pissed it’s not funny. I mean, seriously, this is retarded. They do a big announcement only had nothing to say but continued Dallara spec series. It looks like 2012 might be more Dallara/Honda spec series, WHICH IS STUIPID!!!! PEOPLE DO NOT WANT SPEC SERIES!!! LOOK AT THE F*CKING COT and how FANS ARE LEAVING NASCAR!!!!!!!!!!!! The aero kits may be cool but we don’t know if it will or not…. Also, the drivers on twitter cheerleading this thing, well, that’s why people say racing has no personality. The ONLY good thing is I think the cars are lighter than the current cars, so we might actually get a car with decent acceleration. On safety, I don’t feel like the Dallara is actually that safe. Indycar’s had 3 major back injuries in a year, yeah, that’s great safety. Has F1 had any major back injuries? NASCAR? I honestly don’t know, but I haven’t heard of any in GP2, either.
What a waste of time. The League hyped this up, and then delivered more of the same, without even making the “aero kit” idea clear. Maybe this will work out, but I have a feeling 2012 is just going to be more of the same, and i don’t think anyone outside of Barnhart wants that. I’m very disappointed, if we have to go spec, at least give us a cool car, like Swifts. I mean, I’m a Swift supporter, so obviously I’m not going to like this, but still, I don’t see how this is any different than what we have now, actually, it’s worse, because right now it’s spec by default, in 2012 it’s spec by rule, unless the “aero kits” work out, but I’m pretty sceptical about that… Hopefully we’ll see Swift again somewhere else, maybe ALMS, F1, or I’d love to see them in MotoGP or Moto2. But for Indy, it’s more Dallara spec racing, so I guess we’ll be seeing a lot more of the crapwagons…
