The image of "Modern IndyCar" is from 1994; current 2006-design IndyCars, like their Formula One counterparts, no longer use turbochargers, a change noticable by the air-box now visible at the top of the car, a development the car in the image does not have; a new image is thus requested/invited. --Chr.K. 23:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• I've noticed that too. Or the caption could be changed. But a newer image would be nicer, reflecting the different high formula open-wheel sports.

• A new image would be better, but in the meantime I'm going to change the caption. It's confusing to have the 1993 Lola T93/00 labeled as being from 1993, when the 1994 Penske PC-23, only a year younger, is labeled "modern."

The Panoz DP01 could be useful too, the 2007 high-nosed champ car. Though there are no actual pictures yet, only mock-up drawings and the like.Helmetlad 19:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formula SAE

Formula SAE should be included here. It has been described as the largest engineering competition in the world.
