@@danw2112 the FIA investigation report on the Jules Bianchi accident makes it very clear that something like the aeroscreen or the halo could not make such an accident survivable. "11. It is not feasible to mitigate the injuries Bianchi suffered by either enclosing the driver’s cockpit, or fitting skirts to the crane. Neither approach is practical due to the very large forces involved in the accident between a 700kg car striking a 6500kg crane at a speed of 126kph. There is simply insufficient impact structure on a F1 car to absorb the energy of such an impact without either destroying the driver’s survival cell, or generating non-survivable decelerations. It is considered fundamentally wrong to try and make an impact between a racing car and a large and heavy vehicle survivable. It is imperative to prevent a car ever hitting the crane and/or the marshals working near it."

That last lap crash could have been much worse if we were still using the previous chassis. these cars can still get airborne but they don't stay up there for long. Love it or dislike it, this chassis is one of the safest race cars in the world and that crash was a good demonstration of the commitment to safety that indycar has been working on for the past 7 or so years.

The chassis protecting neegarden last month in his crash was probably even more impressive in showing off its safety.

@jaguatiricaimediata5305 Yes, it was developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies (belongs to the Red Bull F1 team). F1 opted for the Halo (developed by Mercedes, so my original comment that it was made by RB as well was wrong) in which Indycar showed interest too but was concerned it might impact visibility on oval courses so they went for RB‘s Aeroscreen instead. I’m glad they did so.

The halo device used in IndyCar. This was one of the earliest solutions provided by F1. If I remember correctly, FIA allowed different solutions to be provided for comparison. Red Bull made a version with a glass cover. Mercedes made another version. This solution was not finally used in F1 because drivers reported dizziness problems. It was probably due to the refraction of light caused by the curvature of the glass. Then the second solution was used. This is equivalent to an open bidding. So there is essentially no order of precedence. However, this version of the halo device was indeed tested in the practice race on the Red Bull car. It will eventually need to pass comprehensive tests before it can be actually used.

The problem is Nascar, being the bigger company, takes these great tracks and ruins them for Indy for their races. This is why we no longer have Texas. But I would love to see more 1.5 mile or 2 mile ovals on the schedule. I think they should go back to Michigan, and get rid of the dogshit Detroit "track". Scott Dixon said on Connor Daly's Speed Street Podcast that he would love to see the return of Michigan, but Indycar's issue is the lack of attendance. Dixon said they (Indycar) would never do it unless they can get people to come to the race. But hopefully the Nashville race at the end of the season will be a great race like it should be and maybe it will spark a resurgence in big ovals.
