The 5th contender to become the next chassis manufacturer for the IRL Indycar Series has released images of their new car. The BAT project led by engineers Bruce Ashmore, Alan Mertens, and Tim Wardrop put out a car similar to what we’ve seen so far but with a few distinct features.
The car features the rear “bumper” that we’ve been seeing on most of the new car designs. This goes with the continuing trend of concealing the rear wheel structure while maintaining the same basic setup of contemporary open-wheel cars. The rear wing is supported by large fins like those on the Swift and Dallara concepts. The front wheels are protected by the long barge boards on the front of the sidepods. All of these features add to the focus of the BAT project which was centered around building a safer Indy Car.
