F1 introduced their halos a few weeks back in Melbourne. This weekend, IndyCar will debut their new aero screens to be used on ovals.

No set time for implementing it. Could be in 2018 but most likely next year.

Nope. My bad, men. Somehow I got it in my head that they had implemented the windscreens.

Thanks for clarifying my faux pas, Topless.

They look fine. If they work that will be a good thing. Indy cars are butt ugly anyhow, the only time they are attractive is on a oval going 220 mph.

The new aero looks pretty damned good if you ask me. Even F1 fans are salivating over it and that's a testy bunch.
