IRL IndyCar Series

June 2008 -- Xtrac is pleased to report that the introduction of the pneumatic Assisted Gearchange System (AGS) to the Indy Racing League (IRL) is more than achieving all the targets set for this challenging programme. This is despite the need to supply additional parts and service support to the extra cars needed following the unification of IRL and Champcar. This has resulted in more teams switching to the IRL chassis where every car uses the Honda engine and Xtrac supplied gearbox.
