. IndyCar parc ferme rules force setup compromises at IowaSpeedway for HyVee IndyCar Race Weekend
This weekend sees IndyCar’s return to Iowa Speedway for the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend after a one-year hiatus, and the 0.894-mile oval in Newton, IA. is unique on the schedule for hosting the series’ only double-header event.
The adjustments include altering front wing and front wing endplate angles, adjusting tire pressures, removing or adding helicopter tape to bodywork seams, and installing aeroscreen topside duct and filter. “But you're also dealing with a parc ferme situation. You've got to be ready for both qualifying and the race at the same time, and that's kind of unique to this event.
“Yes, Race 2 is a free-for-all,” said another engineer, “but there isn’t practice before that one, so you go into the race blind as to whether your changes are actually an improvement. And Saturday is going to be super-hot [96degF] and Sunday much less so [83]."
