Indycar is the worse run racing series and it's a shame too because the oval racing is very good. Much better than NASCAR in my opinion. But NASCAR as a whole blows the indycar product out of the water. Nostalgia keeps the 500 alive but each year the hype gets less and less even in Indiana.
The 2 CFH cars hit the wall, broke off the left front and allowed the right rear to get into the wind. They flipped over but the car protected both of them. Helio's crash was the only real aero issue. That could have happened to last years car too. Smaller or shorter under tray would help that, but hurt downforce.
CFH racing appears to have put Carpenter's setup on both cars, which is the traditional stiffer spring rate, get the car up in the air, reduce drag and consequently diminish the margin for error for the drivers. All three crashes looked to me like the drivers pinched the cars a little, slightly upset the car, and spun. Turn a wing upside down and it creates 'downforce'. Right side up, it flies.......
