$5.00

Builder | Victor Aldrich

Car | Dallara IR-18

Track | Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Notes | Coming to Green Flag / Off Turn 4, Short Burst of Hybrid to get up to correct speed

Do not regenerate Hybrid into Turn 1/Lap 1.

Deploy Rest of Hybrid off Turn 2/Lap 1.

Regenerate 2/3 down back stretch to ensure Harvesting is complete before middle of Turn 3. Trying to avoid loss of RPMs mid-corner.

Deploy Full Hybrid off Turn 4/Lap 1.

Regenerate Hybrid only AFTER passing the S/F Line into Turn 1, again, ensuring that Harvesting is complete before mid-corner of Turn 1 to avoid bogging down the engine/low RPMs.

Deploy Full Hybrid Down Backstretch, and again, Regenerate about 2/3 down straight to ensure harvesting is complete by mid-corner again.

Use this technique for the rest of the run. Potentially Going to -1, maybe -2 on WJ depending on driver’s feel/weather conditions

Really good balance and consistent long-run speed with this setup. Worked on Right Side Springs, Toe-In, and Tire Pressures to get it working for the whole green flag run. Was at 68% and 65% on the RF/RR tires after 29 laps, in traffic as well. Run it as 6/4 to 6/6 when in traffic. WJ is needed but driver specific. I run 0 in clean air and then +15 Max in Traffic. Lowered the rear wing a bit for extra speed and there’s room to be aggressive as the setup is so stable right now.. I woudn’t mess with it too much, but if there’s any room for speed it’s lowering the rear wing ever so slightly. But be careful doing so as it will increase Temps/Wear on the RR. I honesly think this is a race winning setup so I hope we’re all able to come away with some great finishes this weekend!!! Good luck guys! Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll be happy to help (edited)Thursday, May 14, 2026 6:51 PM
