How Andretti Cheated in Indy 500
June 15 - After the Indy 500 ended, the top 12
cars were put through post-race scrutineering.
Among them were the Andretti Global cars of
Marcus Ericsson, who finished 2nd, and Kyle
Kirkwood, who finished 6th.
Both cars were found in breach of technical rules.
They lost their placement in the race and were
moved to the back. In addtion, each crew were
fined $100,000 and their team and competition
managers were suspended for the Detroit race.
Upon removing the right front EMS covers on the
two Andretti Global cars, inspectors found that
parts that must be supplied by Dallara were in fact
custom made Andretti parts. That alone was
responsible for the penalties that were issued.
IndyCar stops at that point and does not bother
figuring out why the parts were changed or what
effect they would have had.
Andretti's change allowed them to tilt the covers
downward, changing the aerodynamics and
increasing the speed of the cars.

The PREMA car of Callum Ilott also failed to pass
post-race techinical inspection and suffered the

location specifications.
