The new indy lights car is draft designed and the model is in the wind tunnel for testing. Everything is printed in miniature scale on an SLA printer (except for front and rear wings which are alum) The wheels are machined from alum and the 'tires' are actually carbon fiber with anti-skid painted on for tread.
The first prototype should be here in indy in June !
What an awesome job to have! Car looks good but the nose looks like it's creeping upwards - hope they don't start to look like F1 cars of the last couple/few years.
The full motion race car similar being built in our facility took her first steps this past weekend. Getting calibrated over the next 3 weeks – then it gets certified - and then it’s open for business just in time for the month of May here in Speedway Indiana ! There are 2 in Italy.

Hi Todd !
The nose won't get any higher. The design is setup to drive the front of the vehicle downward when it contacts other vehicles. They get airborne far too often as it is.
