What is it with safety meaning something has to be ugly, first the F1 nose, now the rear end of the Indy cars.

This is going to be a race of attrition. We've lost 5 cars, 4 through failures, mostly electrical 
Can't trust the Americans to go wheel to wheel so they've had to close the wheels in.
Unfortunately, it gives the cars a fat arse, but they like that sort of thing over there.

All in all, an improvement on last year.
