“The differences between the performances of the cars are still very small, both over one lap in qualifying and in various situations over a race distance. Some are cars are better in qualifying than races – and vice versa.”
“We’ve seen some spectacular and terrifying shunts since then but the consequences have not been tragic. No one, however, would be daft enough to assume that the cars are perfectly safe. The quest to protect spectators, officials and drivers is relentless. And always will be because the nature of our business demands it.”

Driving standards and blocking – A Stateside view from James Hinchcliffe (The Buxton Blog)
“IndyCar used to race with a rule that didn’t allow ANY defending. You could not deviate from the racing line at all. This rule is asinine and in my mind ruined the racing in IndyCar for years. This year we have moved to a version of the rule that allows defending, creates racing, but is still safe.”
