Indy Light wing -
Indy Light transaxle -
Fans fans fans will stand in line for an autograph of their hero. -
Paul Tracy's punted and shredded car. -
Team Jaguar and their aerodynamic cars and there not so ... (see next pic of wing)...
-
and Team Jaguar's unaerodynamic wing strut interface. "No time to fix." It's wake bows out and make what little wing real estate they do have - INefficient. Period.
-
Team Falken's clean and aerodynamic Porsche ride...
-
Team Falken's very aerodynamic wing span. Notice its spanwise curvature to interface with the greenhouse or cockpit.
-
Team Corvette's aerodynamic ride ...
-
And, Team Corvette's VERY aerodynamic (best ever seen) wing strut interface.
-
Oreca's aero front end...

Lola's aerodynamic ventral fence. Good for marketing, too.

The business end of the Level 5's LMP2 Lola.
-
Muscle Millk's LMP1 Lola.

What do they call them - goosenecks or walrus tusks or wing blanketers in a cross-wind?
-
Three Penske drivers signing autographs: Briscoe, Wilson and Castroneves.
-
A LOT of LOTuses, eh?

Takuma Sato signing a Japanese fan's item and being peppered by Japanese fellowmen photogs.

Dusty Brandel and some CHIPper guy (Ganassi).
-
A couple of Poles. (I'm a quarter Polish but Oscar Kovaleski is a purebred)

Danica at her press conference - is here for the fan. Honored to be a model to some young(er) fans.
