One sleek, beautiful and simple looking race car!

IndyCar teams have just kicked off pre-season testing at Sebring, giving fans an opportunity to see the new generation cars clad in their 2018 liveries.

The chassis remains the basic Dallara DW12, but all cars now feature the all-new universal bodywork whose simple and beautiful lines look like a throwback to a bygone era. And there's no Halo!

Pictured here is Andretti Autosport's entry for 2012 IndyCar champion and 2014 Indy 500 winner, Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Congratulations IndyCar for a job well!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
