As a photographer:

1. Depending on the track orientation and time of the day, the wing always creates a shadow on the driver, if you can even see them. This doesn’t happen with a non-wing car.
2. Much more flex, way better “poses” on a non wing car.
3. Much more passing, pole car wins a lot of races.
4. They “take up” less room on the track, allowing for more side by side racing.

Reasons why you need them:
1. Faster
2. Casual fans have an easier time identifying them, potentially leading them to a non wing race at some point
3. Way more square footage for sponsor decals
4. National coverage, even though this is Indiana Open Wheel, not all of us live in Indiana…
5. Crossover appeal of multi discipline racers ala Jesse Hockett, Kyle Larson…
