Series news

  • On May 24, 2019 it was announced that IndyCar Series will schedule to introduce radical cockpit protection that combining aeroscreen and Halo from 2020 season onwards. The radical cockpit protection will be built by Red Bull Advanced Technologies. The combination of aeroscreen and halo is designed to improve safety standards by deflecting debris away from a driver's head and was originally developed for use in Formula One and IndyCar before its application was expanded to other open-wheel championships.[1]
