Clearly paddleshift is here to stay if we like it or not. And I've been thinking about if we can improve on that. I've done some research on dual clutch transmissions, and I think this could be the perfect fit for the new car. Supposedly, they can shift faster than Formula 1 gear boxes, and are becoming relevant to street cars.

Should IndyCar make the shift (pun intended), or is there not enough interest to justify the idea?

I read in Cavin's blog today that if they eliminate engine badging that other suppliers, namely Cosworth, might be interested in returning to Indycars. But Cavin went on to say that he does like badging.

Can anyone fill me in on what this is all about? ]]> Indycar new car? tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.208412 2008-03-29T09:36:03Z curly437 Will ALMS P2 be faster than Indycar before the Dallaras are retired? tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.312392 2008-08-30T16:42:17Z 2008-08-30T16:43:23Z Danathar World now on notice tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.282473 2008-07-17T01:49:25Z 2008-07-17T01:58:37Z Revel
The president of Audi said; today.., "The future is electric." MBZ is in the process of releasing an all-electric 'Smart Car.' Their was a recent manufacterers summit in IndyCar racing. Since the new IndyCar chassis and engine combos won't come online for 2 to 3 years.., could hybrid/electric racing cars possibly be in play?


KERS - will see F1 take on a pioneering role.
