through the PPG Cup fund, divided among the top drivers in point stand- ings at the end of the season. A minimum of $1 million will be paid from the PPG Cup fund to the PPG Indy Car World Series champion in 1993. In addition to the prize money contributed to IndyCar, PPG will post $430,000 in cash awards at the Indianapolis 500, where it offers $100,000 to the winner of the PPG Pole Award and $330,000, or $10,000 each, to the 33 starting cars. The balance of PPG's $3.75 million prize fund is in special cash awards or project underwriting for the series. Reinforcing its status as the world's richest racing series, the PPG Indy Car World Series is expected to pay a total of more than $23 mil- lion dollars in prize money for the. 16-race 1993 season, including PPG prize money, purses for the 15 Championship Auto Racing Teams gov- erned events and the Indianapolis 500, and money from television and manufacturers' contingency funds. To date, PPG has contributed well in excess of $100 million to the Indy Car World Series. For 1993, PPG Industries' Automotive Products unit will present the Indianapolis 500 PPG Pole Award, the PPG Indy Car World Series Championship PPG Cup, the Refinish Award and the Spectacular Finish Award for best use of color and design by an IndyCar and an Indy Lights team owner, as well as the Indy Lights PPG Refinish Rookie of the YearAward.

T he contemporary Indy car is the world's most versatile single seat racing machine. Today's Chevrolet, Ford and Buick-powered Penskes, Lolas and RH chassis may not be quite as fast on a road course as an ultrahigh technology Formula One car, but they would run Pontiac Turbo Grand Prix: - a,nodi,/ied version of Pontiac"s• Turbo Grand Prix built by ASC/McLare:n, this pace car is powered b_y a turbocharged 3.1 liter V-6 engine and itnished in sunburst vellow; Subaru SVX: a unique all-wheel drive Suborn sporting a 260 hp turbocharged overhead cam V-6 engine, the SVX is coated with deepening concord ntist paint; rings around anything from Williams, Ferrari or McLaren on an oval or a speedway. And be much safer while doing it. Some of the very elements that limit an Indy car's road course perfor- mance - mainly a higher minimum allowable weight than a Formula One car - enhance safety when lapping the big speedways such as Indianapolis and Michigan at average speeds in excess of 230 mph. Although similar in size (Indy cars are permitted to be a maximum of 195" in length, 78.5" wide, 36" high and typically have a wheelbase of around 110"), Formula One and Indy cars are quite different beneath the skin. For openers, the minimum weight permitted for Formula One is 50,0 Kg (about 1100 pounds) while Indy Car rules stipulate that cars must weigh at least 1550 pounds including lubricants and coolants. Unlike Formula One, where every team builds its own chassis, most Indy Car teams buy their chassis from Lola Cars, Ltd. in England. Penske Racing has long built its own chassis at a facility in England, occasionally selling customer cars to a limited number of teams. The Rahal/Hogan team recently followed suit, and is now building its own cars at its shop near Columbus, Ohio. Three types of engines are permitted in Indy Car racing: tur- bocharged, four cycle, overhead camshaft engines with eight cylinders and maximum displacement of 2.65 liters; production-derived, single, turbocharged engines with pushrod operated valves and a maximum dis- placement of 3.43 liters and, at Indianapolis only, naturally aspirated, domestically produced, six liter V-8s. CART, which sanctions the IndyCar Races, and the United States Auto Club (USAC), which sanc- tions the Indianapolis 500, differ on their turbocharging rules as CART permits manifold pressures of 45" on the 2.65 liter engines, and 50" on the stock blocks. USAC keeps the 45" on race engines but allows the stock blocks to run 55" of boost. Toyota Celica All-Trac Turbo: a modi,/ted version of the production model with turhocharged 2.01iter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve. twin-cant engine, the Celica is painted in a seal.skin mica finish.
