DP01 vs Lola

[Hard Driver]

How is the DP01 working out in your opinion.

I think the car is turning out to be a step up from the Lola. It seems to allow nice close racing and is doing what it was supposed to. I just wish they would get the starters working, because that would get rid of a few yellows.

on a side note, the standing starts seem better to IMO.

Where's the choice for March-Buick?

CC needs some competition in the form of multiple chassis' or some open rules, but the DP01 seems to be much better than the Lola as a spec car.

I also think the standing starts are working out much better than I expected.

As a spec car it works better because everyone started out in the same spot. Lola became a spec car many years after the haves and have-nots had at it. So N/H has an unbeatable program, and Coyne drags ass.

I think the standing starts are great and better than the rolling starts which this series hasn't gotten right in MANY years....

where's the '97 Reynard is better answer?

those mirrors will never work.

I think Cleveland was the first race where the ability to follow and equality among the cars really showed off. There was good racing on the streets, but I think the Lolas might have done equally well.

The Lola is still a bit sexier.

The (lack of) starters are a disappointment.

I like the rolling starts better, but not if they allow the field to string out and not if a bunch of cars are taken out in the first turn.

And the DP01 did not achieve (yet) its goal of attracting more cars to the grid.

Indy-More chassis and rules changes AFTER the merger.:tony:

IMHO, it's a push w/o the onbaord starters. The Lola had better looks, but the DP has been pretty much as expected sans starters. If the starters were working as advertised, I'd vote DP, but w/o it's even.

I think the DP's "better", but I'm not sure it was worth the trouble of forcing the whole series to buy new cars. I haven't seen any reliable information on the costs of running the DP vs. the Lola.
