After tremendous success in the heydays of the Atlantic Series up until 2009, Swift Engineering is working now on its own proposal for the 2014 Indy Lights Series' car.
As it is now being called by the California-based company, the 020.I would follow in the path of Swift's most recent American ladder series car, the 016.a Atlantic chassis that was used through 2009.
Swift came to prominence in the early 1980s with its championship-winning DB1 Formula Ford chassis, and went on to produce open-wheel chassis for F2000, Formula Atlantic and the CART Indy car series.
With the demise of Champ Car, the company had focused its racing endeavours on Formula Nippon, and also submitted a proposal to supply the 2012 Indy car.
It is widely believed that Swift has spoken with some engine manufacturers, including Honda Performance Development, which is located near Swift in southern California but it has also looked outside the familiar pool of open-wheel engine manufacturers to power the 020.I.
It is expected that the Indy Lights Series will make his final choice public during this week-end in Baltimore.
