The good news:
Obviously, the costs have skyrocketed in the past 27 years and the purses have failed miserably to keep pace ($30,000 to win a race), but teams seem satisfied that IndyCar and Dallara are doing their best to control costs.
The team from ’94 figured it was going to take almost $3.5 million to run a competitive operation, while today’s figure is close to $6.5 million per car. But the most impressive numbers are the 22-26 cars (besides Indy) that will be at every race in 2021. Owning an IndyCar looks like a non-profit organization, yet you couldn’t tell it from the entry list.
