Dallara 'Strikes' First
By Andrew Cutler
February 5 2010
With the much anticipated public unveiling of the Delta Wing car now just days away, people might be tempted to forget that it is not a foregone conclusion that Ben Bowlby's creation will be the choice of the IRL for the next generation of IndyCar. Dallara Automobili certainly isn't willing to conceed the fight just yet, and has released three concept drawings of their own ahead of Delta Wing.

On the same day that IRL president of competiton Brain Barnhart reiterated the league's criteria for the next IndyCar - reuduced cost, 'green' and street car-relevant technologies, best driver safety standards, built in America - the people at Dallara have put forth their ideas on just what that car might look like.

Here are the three possible chassis that Dallara is prepared to build for the IndyCar Series.

Concept #1

Dallara 2012 1

Concept #2

Dallara 2012 2

Concept #3

Dallara 2012 3 

Of course, it is also possible that these concepts could be further altered to fit any changes requested by the IRL.

Dallara has been supplying chassis to the IndyCar Series since 2003, and company president Gian Paolo is eager to continue that relationship. "Dallara as a company, a trusted, credible, stable and loyal partner for the Indy Racing League for the past twelve years, commits to support, service and develop this new car by locating a dedicated facility near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...  and it will set new standards in terms of safety, fuel efficiency, raceability, technology performance and cost containment. We can achieve all of these objectives [set by the IRL]."
