IndyCar weighs power steering impact amid safety and tradition debate

IndyCar's new IR28 car has sparked discussions on introducing power steering, which would mark a significant change for the series. The Dallara-designed chassis is touted as 'future-proof,' potentially allowing for enhancements, including 'power assist.' Initial tests are set without power steering, with further evaluations planned before a decision on its implementation by 2028. Drivers express mixed feelings: while some advocate for safety improvements to limit injuries, others prefer the traditional physical challenge that manual steering presents.
