More superspeedway underbody aero, butts look much better. High downforce package to be announced later this week, I think. Common aero packages to fit both Honda and Chevrolet.

All good news, I think.

Today was supposed to be the test at Mid-Ohio for the road course body.

Like the looks of it. Clean and areodynamic, not a bunch of little pieces stuck here and there.

I liked that the bumpers prevented a little nudge from causing tire punctures.

I was really hoping you were talking about running a frogger style event where the Kardashian family would try to cross the race track while everyone was going flat out around it.

That's a race I would tune in for. That's a race I'd fly out for actually.

Looking for news today about this test- apparently it is scheduled today- Aug 1 and not Jul 31. I look forward to seeing the road course version.

Indycar has posted some pictures of the road course test at Mid Ohio- http://www.indycar.com/Photos

Not sure if they can be linked here.

The wing simplicity looks a LOT better. And no more little wiglets off the side of the rear wing. Much better.
