Indycar President Doug Bolas said in a statement on Wednesday that PENSKE, a member of an Indycar Tech team member of Indianapolis 500, said that he competed with a modified weakening at least one year ago before he caught a violation on Sunday, “he said.
When a car hits a wall backwards, a weakening is placed on the back of each Indy car to absorb energy. Therefore, BOLES is not allowed to tamper with weakening.
Although the Visual and anecdote evidence that Team Penske drivers have been competing with the rear atanators softened for at least a year, including the car drilled by Josef Newgarden when the Indy 500 winner won last year’s last year, they were not caught until Sunday.
According to Bolas, the rear atanators have a zero effect on how fast a car goes. And for a limited time to examine each car, Indycar’s technology teams focus on car parts that can give an unfair advantage to a driver during a race.
Bolas said on Wednesday, “Fast 12 cars on the technology line of 12 cars on Sunday, we had a 30 -minute window to buy 12 cars through technology.” He said.
“In the sections designed specifically for security, our team and technology does not look at them regularly and this is one of the parts that are not looked at until it is seen on Sunday. Did I miss one? I definitely miss. Every event is exposed to, (and) changes, if it changes, 100 percent outside the rules?”
On Sunday, PENSKE team was caught, because according to Boles, Indycar coach Kevin “Rocket” Blanch, Team Partke Driver’s weakening of the Power’s number 12 car was corrected. Then he checked the weakening in Newgarden’s car 2 and discovered that he was the same illegal.
Penalties for illegal changes involved in the back of the official starting grill for the Indy 500 of Sunday. Newgarden and Power will be 11th and last when 33 drivers hit the runway.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Roger Penske, Penske Team Cindric, General Manager of Indycar Ronwski and Indycar General Manager Kyle Moyyer, who had Team Penske, Indycar, Indy 500 and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, fired for “organizational failures”.
According to the Associated Press report, some contestants accused Team Penske of deceiving with corrected weakening. They believed that the smooth part allowed Penske’s drivers to have an advantage while he was qualified.
Bolas, “This is not an investigation as far as I am worried about, but … We will continue to understand how the process failed and how we can make it better.” He said. “And the most important thing we need to do is to make sure that our drivers remain safe, but B is not to be questioned that the level of the playground cannot be questioned and when a team or driver is on the road and beaten by someone or beaten by someone, none of these teams will be able to say that they do because of the advantage of technology.”
