The 2011 IndyCar Oval Course Race Car, is based on the design of a standard IndyCar race car used in the 2011 IndyCar season.
A special edition of the car was produced at the end of the 2011 IndyCar season. It featured Dan Wheldon’s paint scheme. Dan Wheldon, was a IndyCar driver that competed in the 2011 season but was killed on lap ten of the IndyCar season finale.
The word “IndyCar” is a racing sanctioning body and the trademark name of the top-level Series of American open-wheel racing, created by Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the “brickyard”.
This 2011 casting represents the last year of the conventional-looking open wheel chassis; the Dallara IR-05, characterized by having a V8 engine and completely exposed rear wheels. For 2012 and on, a new chassis named the Indycar Safety Cell was developed under the ICONIC Project. The resulting chassis is a radical change in shape and structural development to enhance aerodynamics and driver safety. Hot Wheel collectors are looking forward for a future diecast release of the post 2012 ICONIC Project Chassis by Dallara.
For 2018 Legends of Speed, this car was renamed “Indy 500 Oval”.
