Interesting pics, I doubt there's a Honda in the back!

I wonder if they have a Toyota Champ Car motor in the back or a Toyota IRL motor. It is a shame that a car with such a storied racing history is reduced to being a pseudo-crapwagon.

Re: (Sean O'Gorman)
Roger "King of Loopholes" Penske is friggin' smart though. What a way to clear the cobwebs for his drivers by using Champ Cars to circumvent the IRL testing freeze.
Also, the rear wing is actually the short oval high downforce wing from a Dallara. This wing design is the basis for the road course rear wing to be used next season. I'm surprised that the car is using the stock Reynard sidepod with the superspeedway leading edge. Maybe it's a Helio preference since he preferred using the stock Reynard sidepods in superspeedways over the Renske/Peynard sidepods.
If it's a normally aspirated engine, I wonder where the intake vent is. I don't think the popoff valve hole is big enough.

I agree; however, all the testing in the world wont turn Hornish from a suckass POS ****** into a top level road racer.

You didn't read the rule that states once you step foot in an IRL car you lose the ability to ever drive on a road course with any sort of skill?

We also didn't get the opportunities that Hornish had, or the reputation that the IRL PR built up for him.
