Honda has released the first images of the road/short oval aero package that it will use in the 2015 IndyCar season.
Aero kits have been introduced from this year as part of a push to provide more variety in the series around the basic Dallara chassis package used by all teams.
“We’re excited to reveal our aero kits as Honda welcomes this era of enhanced competition in the IndyCar Series,” said Art St Cyr, president of HPD and vice president, auto operations, for American Honda.
“Coupled to our proven Honda Indy V6 engines, these aero kits are the products of literally thousands of hours of research, development and testing, as we seek to give our drivers and teams the tools they need to win races, the Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship.”
Honda-aligned teams will run the new kit during a one-day test at NOLA later this week ahead of the bodywork’s first public outing at the two-day open test at Barber Motorsports Park on March 16-17. It will make its race debut in St Petersburg later this month.
Rival Chevrolet unveiled its road/short oval aero kit three weeks ago.
