How the aeroscreen will change the Indianapolis 500
One sign of the aeroscreen's success is that not many people are now talking about it. But it's set to make a number of differences to this weekend's Indianapolis 500, as leading engineers and drivers explain
You only need to make a quick scan through social media and comment forums to realise that, as with the halo's introduction in Formula 1, the number of vocal critics of IndyCar's mandatory aeroscreen is dwindling as onlookers 1) get used to it, and 2) acknowledge there's no going back.
There will, of course, be some who cannot reconcile themselves to its appearance, and it's easy to sympathise. A device that is so harmonious from the side or front three-quarter view is not pleasing to behold from head on, and you can only hope that it can be better integrated into the next-gen IndyCar's design from birth, and look less like a late add-on to the otherwise handsome lines of the current Chris Beattie-penned car.
