Formula 1 and IndyCars reach speeds well in excess of 200mph, so it’s no wonder that the suspension setup must not just perform as anticipated, but also not inhibit the car's performance in other areas such as the aerodynamic package.
While sometimes considered overly complex for a street car, double wishbone suspension is the go-to for motorsports but in a rather different layout when it comes to open-wheelers which see the coilovers and springs located away from the hub and instead within the car's bodywork where they can’t add extra drag or aero package complications, as Andre explains care of Felix Rosenqvist’s Chip Ganassi Racing IndyCar at the Performance Racing Industry Tradeshow.
If this video looks familiar to you that is because it is from RaceCraft, a company we merged into HPA back in 2020.
