THANK GOD! – 2018 IndyCar’s Look Like Racecar’s Again

Unfortunately, between 1997 and today, weepy organizers like Brian Barnhardt and others attempted to turn the aesthetic of Indycar design into fields of spec-controlled hybrids, that ended up looking like perverse meldings between prototype sportscars and what they were supposed to be – freaking ‘open-wheel’ cars.
