Photographic and text history of the technological development of the Indy racing car, innovation, and racing experimentation. A lengthy introduction highlights advances during the early years to lay the foundation for the revolutionary changes in Indy car design that occurred during the 1960s. Each year of the decade is covered in detail to establish evolutionary changes from the classic Indy roadster to the modern engine-behind-the-driver layout, influence of Grand Prix designs that began with the Cooper-Climax of 1961, then Ford's stock block engine program with Lotus, then turbine cars, turbo-Offy powered cars, and associated technologies such as engines, tires, and aerodynamics.
