This is NO plan, exactly like the engine specs. This is an invitation to potential investors and suppliers, period.
Dallara roller: $349K
Dallara roller with body kit: $385K
Alternate body kit supplier requirements:
IRL approval
Safety testing
Fixed price
Production capability to supply all teams.
Now that's what Barnhart said. If the complete body kit is capped at $70K, that makes an alternate builder peanuts. And he has no guarantee that his R&D time will net him a single sale.
Same as the engines. If you invite them, it doesn't mean they will come. If they come, it doesn't mean they will be competitive.
And the old Dallaras are now worthless.
It's a defacto spec Dallara/ Honda series, which only changes if competitors chose to gamble on participation.
One car team: $385K for primary chasis and body kit, $385K for T car, $700K for Honda engine lease.
That's $1.477 Million before you buy a tire or hire a grunt. Or you go home.
