- FM7 May 2019 Update: "May is home to the Indianapolis 500, one of the biggest races in the world, and we’re celebrating everything IndyCar with the May 2019 update for Forza Motorsport 7. This month’s update brings a collection of IndyCar race cars both new and old (plus a pace car for good measure), as well as a Indy-themed events, including a Bounty Hunter competition starring ten of the biggest names in the IndyCar series. Let’s kick off this IndyCar-themed update with a look at the Spotlight Cars that are available for free.*
- 2019 Dallara DW12 with Universal Aero Kit*
- Since 2012, the Dallara DW12 chassis has been the standard for IndyCar, used by every team in the series. It was named after driver Dan Wheldon who performed the final testing on it before he was tragically killed in the last race of the 2011 season. There have been different underbody kits available for super speedways or road courses and the aerodynamics have changed over the years. Since 2018 the Universal Aero Kit has been in use. This eliminated the airbox and rear-wheel guards and optimizes downforce via ground effects rather than additional wings.*
- The cars are powered by twin-turbo V6 engines produced by Honda or Chevrolet. Depending on the venue, they can be tuned to put out more than 600 horsepower. Combine that with an overall weight of just over 1,500 pounds and you have an amazing power-to-weight ratio. The cars, drivers, and great American race courses make this series an American racing cornerstone that is punctuated by the Indianapolis 500, with the 103rd running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” taking place on May 26th."*
