When you start with a new car, or with a new specification – like the manufacturer aerokits in 2015 or when we went back to a universal aerokit in 2018 – your focus is on driver comfort initially, and then you determine which are the areas for improving performance.
Obviously we’ve had this car for a while so, unloading at the Speedway, we already have a good idea of where to start in terms of set-up, where we might find extra pace, and also how to dial each car into a driver’s particular preferences. Last year at Indy, there wasn’t a ton of variance across our six cars, but there’s always three or four things that Scott Dixon likes different from Marcus Ericsson, and that Marcus likes different from Alex Palou.
