Fernando Alonso after his first test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Gentlemen, start your engines.
Wilbur Shaw
When you've driven it for a day, you're going to feel naked without it.

It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
