Now have full windshields!?!?!?

I like that better than the F1 T-bars, but they look like super modifieds from the front.....

What!?  F1 looked at windshields but didn't go with them because, and this will really surprise nobody, all sorts of crap gets caught up on them blocking the driver's vision (Including tire klag, and fluids leaking from cars in front).  Of course that happens in F1 too with track detritus accumulating on on a driver's helmet face shield, but they deal with that with tear-aways.

Open wheel but [virtually] closed cockpit.

It was really awkward for the driver to get out too.....they had the cameras on Scott Dixon in the winner's circle and he had to twist around to get his cords unhooked, then he had to twist sideways to fit thru the opening.....
