From the Indianapolis Star newspaper:
IndyCar Series teams will save approximately 11 percent on chassis parts in 2009 with Dallara's announcement that it would reduce the cost on spare parts such as radiators, wishbones and wings.
"If we can help the teams go through this difficult time, it is in the best interest of the manufacturers, the series and the teams," said Andrea Toso, IndyCar Series project leader for Dallara. "If we don't do anything now, maybe one year from now it's too late. We hope that all suppliers and partners will understand this initiative."
Dallara has been an IndyCar chassis supplier since the formation of the series in 1997.
"In light of the current global economic crisis, to see the effort Dallara has made to help all of our teams with an across-the-board cost reduction is truly the definition of a partner," said Brian Barnhart, president of competition and operations for the Indy Racing League.
