The Japanese automaker, Honda, is not only excellent in creating passenger cars for use on the normal road. The company is also quite skillful when it comes to creating vehicles for use in the IndyCar series. In fact, the company has just released an aero kit that it has especially designated for the Verizon IndyCar Series of the 2015 season.
Well, it seems that Honda does not want to be left even one step behind any other automakers. If you remember correctly, just some three weeks earlier, the American automaker, Chevrolet, also took the liberty of introducing its version of the IndyCar aero kit. Now, the Japanese company is creating a similar kit. The one from Honda is made by the Honda Performance Development (HPD) division in the North America. As Honda puts it, it takes ‘thousands of hours of research, development and testing’ to complete the IndyCar aero kit. Believe it or not, the aero kit from the Japanese automaker consists of nearly two hundred individual parts. These parts can all fit onto the present generation Dallara platform.
According to the HPD, the Japanese car manufacturer is going to show its recently completed IndyCar aero kit when the so-called ‘Open Test’ for the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series takes place. The test is slated for March 16-17 and it will take place at the Barber Motorsports Park, located close to Birmingham, Alabama. The test will take place prior to the season opener which is scheduled to take place on March 29, 2015, along with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Florida, US.
Well, well, well, no offense, but if you think all this information is going to take a bit of time for you to digest, you may as well just watch the adjacent video instead.
