RIP Justin Wilson

RE: RIP Justin Wilson
(August 25, 2015 at 9:16 am)c172 Wrote: I'm on a couple of motorsports message boards (I'm a big rally fan, as well as IMSA Sports Cars, and also watch some NASCAR and IndyCar), and the closed cockpit thing is a big debate on them now. Designs I've seen are just plain ugly. Maybe it's just that IndyCar and F1 have never before had closed cockpits. Maybe if some other governing body ran them, I'd be OK with it, and it wouldn't look like a messed up IndyCar concept (similarly, in Sports Cars, I hate that Delta Wing, but it would have been fine as a concept car at an auto show).

Closed cockpits were part of the discussion after the Wheldon accident too. I actually like the look of some of the concepts better than the current IRL spec.
