Dallara agrees to lower IndyCar parts prices
After nine months of discussions and negotiations between INDYCAR, its teams and chassis maker Dallara regarding spare parts prices, the chapter has finally been closed with the Italian constructor agreeing to re-write portions of its supply contract.
Team owners were informed by interim IndyCar CEO Jeff Belskus about the tentative agreement during a meeting on December 6th, with a 14-percent reduction in parts prices and a 15-month freeze on that rate serving as the terms the series had arrived at with Dallara.
The formalization of those terms was made known to the teams late Wednesday night in a technical bulletin that was distributed by Dallara. Speed.com
