    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

Cheating or just too smart for the F.I.A.? Cover picture is the infamous Brabham Fan Car raced by Niki Lauda and John Watson in 1978. The Lotus 79 with full ground effects was unbeatable , almost 3 seconds a lap quicker ahead of its rivals so Brabham designer Gordon Murray designed a car which due to its wide flat twelve Alfa engine could not copy the Lotus twin skirts but instead had a massive fan which was supposed to cool the engine but in fact sucked so much air from under the car that the thing stuck to the road. Both drivers were told in practice and qualifying to drive at eight tenths as Gordon wanted to surprise Lotus in the race. Although Watson dropped out Lauda won the race by over 30 seconds . In spite of protests the FIA ruled that the car was legal but team owner Ecclestone decided not to run the car again as he was setting up F.O.C.A. ( Formula One Constructers Association ) and needed the support of the teams that protested the car. Gordon Murray Genius. Lotus 88. After the ban on ground effects and sliding skirts Lotus produced the twin chassis 88.
