Actually you could say your equal to Indy. Indy cars are quicker by the way, they are actually designed to Jets. If you listen to one, they sound different from a F1 car. I hve a friend who is in charge at Panther Racing.

Have you actually been to a track with more than one Indy car running at the same time? I find in annoying as all hell,
Every car makes the exact same noise at the exact same places on the track, due to the same engines used. They don't sound anywhere as High Tech as an F1 car at full throttle. They're also visually not interesting (except for Danica) the bodies are all the same, and they look like they were F1 cars from the 70's. I've been to both F1 and IndyCar races and there's no comparison at all. Indycar is a mere shadow of what CART used to be.

That was a to-the-regs car as well. No un-raceable parts. All of it was race-legal F1 stuff.

I'm sure the rear wing was replaced with one single fin, or the rear wing was removed apart from the central element.

The rear wing looked more like a rudder, probably an attempt to create as little drag as possible but at the same time producing just enough downforce to generate some rear grip.
