we have a good example of cars all from roger penske, the industrialist.s been very successful and a major force in indycar racing for 50 years now. team penske's first entry into indianapolis 500 back in 1969, this was lola, built in great britain. the chassis is similar to the roadster's from the 1950's but you can kind of see a wing on the back of that as well. just started to figure out how the aerodynamics worked on these cars. you come here just three years later, and all of a sudden, we have wings on the front and a huge wing on the back. the difference in qualifying speed for a car like this and a car like this in 1972 is about 20 miles per hour. speeds went up tremendously because you have wings on these cars are basically act like the opposite of airplane wings. whereas airplane wings create lift and get the plane off the ground, indycar wings are designed to keep them on the ground so they can go through corners much faster. what you have here is a modern indycar. this is actually built, a chassis built by the company out of italy. interestingly
