INDYCAR manufacturer Dallara is to name its new car (above) after tragic British racer Dan Wheldon. The 33-year-old, who died in the Indy 300 in Las Vegas at the weekend, had been helping the Italian company to develop the vehicle by taking part in extensive testing. The exact name for the chassis has not been revealed but chairman Gianpaolo Dallara said: “We will honour his memory for years to come.”
