Following into the footstep of the IndyCar Series, feeder series Firestone Indy Lights will introduce a brand new race car for the 2014 season.
A request for proposal was distributed to potential manufacturers and development firms earlier this month for both engine and chassis, and series officials will begin reviewing and evaluating the submitted applications after the due date of June 30.
Among the series requests for the new car/engine package are that the chassis must be adaptable to compete on road, street and oval circuits with a minimum of facility-specific parts.
Also, improved technological package to include but not limited to: paddle shifting, data systems and sensors as well as potential to integrate an alternative fuel source.
Dallara, Swift, Elan, Mugen and others car manufacturers are in the running.
