Zak Brown of McLaren is ready for IndyCar to adopt a 'quality over quantity' mindset when it comes to car counts and racing penalties.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown has laid out his biggest concerns with the IndyCar series — and he touched on everything from its bloated fields to poor officiating.
Though he did praise race steward Max Papis and IndyCar president of competition and operations Jay Frye for “listening well,” he believes that the primary problem stems from the fact that IndyCar has failed to levy strong enough penalties. “We need to shift into quality versus quantity,” he told Motorsport.com. “We tend to car count quantity. I think our car count is too high.
The current iteration of IndyCar was created when CART and Champ Car reunited in 2008, largely to avoid bankruptcy.
