The latest version of the aeroscreen that will be run at all remaining road and street course races is being rolled out for this weekend’s Grand Prix of Long Beach.
On Tuesday, the IndyCar Series revealed an updated and lightweight aeroscreen with a new design that also improves cooling the driver in the cockpit. The latest version comes ahead of schedule, with the original plan to implement it in the fourth points-paying round at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on May 10-11. However, with enough supply for the entirety of the grid, the decision was made to move up the timeline by two events.
The combination of weight reduction and safety improvements help reduce the downforce of the new aeroscreen by approximately 35 pounds, according to Tino Belli, the director of aerodynamic development for the IndyCar Series. “One of the objectives of doing a 2.0 version was to save weight,” Belli said. “Then we've taken that opportunity to also make the styling nicer, improve the driver ventilation, and make the thinner polycarbonate as strong as the thicker polycarbonate.
