That looks like fun! 
Thanks for sharing!
I'm taking it with the lead follow aero testing you were checking draft vs. aero push? Since I'd assume with a feeder series like that they wouldn't want much aero push.

VERY COOL, especially since the cars are made right here in California.
How similar is the 017.n to Swift's Atlantic chassis?
I remember seeing some Nippon races on Speedvision several years ago, if I remember right it was more of a sprint race format with some pretty exciting racing.
If the IRL listens to the fans and opens the series up to more chassis what are the odds of a Swift entry? I remember the old CART car..

Car looks good Chris... very close to the sketches that you showed me early in the design process.
How did the car behave on track? Any major handling flaws or characteristics that you saw? It actually sounds like a proper car too, not the POS IRL car that I've been working with all year...
Congrats! PM me if you want to chat!

Fantastic pictures and even better youtube audio. They sound REALLY close to F1 cars at indy with the sound bouncing off the metal grandstands and the "popping" at the end of the straight into T1.
Chris, what is your specific involvement in the project?
