Honda's IndyCar aerokit - better than Chevrolet's?

Honda today revealed their edition of the new aerokit for 2015 in the IndyCar series, which are to be used on street and road courses, as well as short ovals. This comes a few weeks after Chevrolet revealed their kit for the upcoming season. The looks of course are going to be one of the big talking points and I think that its safe to say, Honda's is a much better kit to look at than Chevrolets, although it is still not exactly what you'd call 'a thing of beauty'.

Above is the Honda kit, below is the Chevrolet one. Not that I really need to tell you that, seeing as the manufacturers names and logo's are on the cars but anyway. I won't go into to much technical detail, mainly because I aren't a technical genius but also because Autosport will no doubt cover it in their next issue this Thursday. Honda's front wing would appear to be more complex, with more elements to it and more winglets. 

The sidepods are a similar shape to the Chevrolet ones but they are less cluttered and the same goes for the rear wing. The whole car though has a more elegant look to it, as it doesn't have the the 1998 F1 style sidepod wings that the Chevrolet has. The front wring on the Honda is also more elegant, lacking the sticking up winglets of the Chevrolet. One thing I particularly like is the rather cool shark fin on the Honda. It just seems to fit in with the rest of the car.

IndyCars teams have now taken delivery of each of their aerokits and they are expected to make their debut at the Barber Motorsports Park test on the 16th and 17th of this month, ahead of the season opener at St.Petersburg on the 29th of March. The Speedway versions of the kits will be delivered to teams ahead of their race debut at the Indy500. We will wait and see which manufacturer has developed the best aerokit.
