If the IZOD IndyCar Series needed to update its approach to Race Control, they could not do any better than to adopt the approach used by Beaux Barfield and the ALMS/IMSA Race Control team. The 2012 season with its introduction of the new Dallara DW12 requires a Race Control template that can deal with technology dynamics that present themselves on the track. The ALMS has four classes, running at various speeds and handling capabilities, on the track for many hours at a time. The new DW12 will have three engines and the potential of many different body aero-package set-ups so a Beaux Barfield understanding, experience, and type of team approach might be just what the doctor would order for the future of the IZOD IndyCar Series Race Control management template.
