Indiana Openwheel (2024)

FAQs

Why is open wheel faster? ›

The lack of bodywork encasing the wheels reduces drag, enabling the vehicle to move through the air more easily. This drag reduction, combined with the aerodynamic advantages of the open-wheel design, contributes to improved overall performance on the track.

Open-wheeled racing is among the fastest in the world. Formula One cars can reach speeds in excess of 360 kilometres per hour (220 mph).

Off the line, the RWD will be typically quicker. The reason is that when a car accelerates, regardless of drivetain, there's a load (not weight) shift towards the back, which increases grip of those tyres, and for a RWD, the rear tyres are driving so more grip.

An open-wheel race car has its wheels placed away from the vehicle and exposed to the air. These cars typically have single-seater co*ckpits where the driver's head is exposed to the air. Closed-wheel cars, like touring and stock cars, keep their wheels under the car's body covered by fenders.

This nickel-plating of the axle creates an extra smooth surface (causing less friction) therefore, making the car faster than its non-nickel-plated counterparts. FTE wheels were brought back in 2009 due to a strong collector demand.
