So, things look set to change in a big way.

Just some more info, there was a meeting in the Indycar trailer with at least the Honda engineers and all media was instructed to move away from the Indycar trailer...

Practice session at 11:30 ET

Looks like some changes are coming from the rumours on twitter, Indycar will address the media in due course.

So Marshall Pruett reports.

Engines will return to their low-boost settings, which reduces something in the region of 40-50hp and lowers lap speeds below 230mph.
All teams--from Chevy and Honda--will be required to race in the aerodynamic trim they use in qualifying. This effectively forces teams to abandon low-drag qualifying setups.
Teams are allowed to adjust their wing angles as desired.
Wing wickers are also open.


Now forgive me for being stupid the changes would make the cars less prone to being "twitchy" but the extra drag, lower power will still see cars going 215-220+? Is this really going to make a huge difference if a car does crash?
