IRL creates new technical review committee

The Indy Racing League, effective immediately, has launched a new Technical Review Committee that will have league and team representatives meeting weekly to review technical proposals from IZOD IndyCar Series teams.

According to a league press release, the new group will make recommendations to IRL president of competition Brian Barnhart, who will have the final say on approving said proposals. All of the proposals and final decisions by Barnhart will be posted on a participant-only website, so teams can access the information.

“Given the overwhelming positive response to the formation of the ICONIC Advisory Committee in the search for our next-generation car, we have decided to create a similar process for all technical proposals presented to the league that will allow discussion in a more transparent forum,” said Barnhart in the release.
