They have the most experience of the bunch when it comes to building Indy cars that race on all circuits. Their name is iconic in the history of IndyCar, and that doesn't hurt either.<br /><br />Besides, the Lola's big-ass tunnel inlets look cool!<br /><br />Swift has got some fanboy buzz on the blogs, which never hurts, I guess. The league seems to be taking fan input into account. But the car looks expensive to wreck; not as practical as Lola's effort.<br /><br />During the period where the builders received feedback from the league, Lola's design remained virtually unchanged, while Swift's #66 (their second attempt) had to be reworked. Reading the tea leaves, it (at least) looks like Lola's design was on the money from the get go.<br /><br />I don't know what to think of Dallara. Those Dallara pictures are artist's concepts that they seemed to sort of slap together real quick when the Delta Wing group began their PR offensive. They've played their cards close to the vest.<br /><br />Whatever. I'm good with anything but the DW or the BAT. Sorry BAT, but that car be fugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161332960208899780.post-9764695409876977422010-06-09T02:59:53.293-04:002010-06-09T02:59:53.293-04:00Great report, until the last paragraph.
