The testing that has been done has been very positive. As for purses that I cant answer we are not that far along. Asfor some differences the GC car has a completely different fuel cell it sits directly above the rear end everything that sticks behind the rear axle is crush panel that is a major safety advancement over the silvercrowm. The car is built on a center line meaning 0 offset. Our car is also built with double shear points this will help prevent things like radius rods from being shoved into the driver compartment. The frame is much wider giving the driver more room and keeping him or her away from the wall in a side impact.Everything on the car is bigger and stronger to handle the stress of super speedways. If anyone has any suspecific questions I will answer as best as I can.
Ok, so you aren't going to tell us how much this car cost. I don't know how to ask a question that is more specific than that, so I'll move on.
This goal of getting drivers to the IRL and to nascar is not very well thought out. nascar has shown that they will hire drivers almost any kind of racing experience. The IRL on the other hand will only "hire" drivers with money in hand, regardless of their experience and talent. Even Tony George does not hire oval track drivers with the exception of his stepson. And as for the original IRL "vision" he has come out on record saying that his goal all along was to have a series that was like
CART. So much for the short track/oval track American driver connection. AJ Foyt, a hero to many of us hires foreign road racing ride buyers almost exlusively now.
The owners of the cars in the IRL are road racers. They aren't interested in oval track drivers. They never have been and never will be. The series is dropping oval tracks and adding road races every year. The IRL already has a feeder system that they don't use to hire drivers. It features rear engined formula cars. If they won't hire the drivers from their own feeder series with similar cars to the Indycars why would anyone think they would be interested in hiring drivers of front engined cars? It should not be the goal of this series or any other series to provide drivers for the IRL or nascar.
