What makes IndyCar racing so good is there's not much you can do on your car to differentiate it from the others. It's only dampers, third springs. There's the aero with the aero kits – and hopefully those are going away.

It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers.
