Rule changes for 2007

All cars will utilize a 100% fuel blend of ethanol. In the 2006 season, cars utilized a 90%-10% blend of methanol and ethanol. From 1965-2005, Indy cars in USAC, CART, and IRL used a 100% methanol blend.
Teams will utilize 3.5 liter displacement engines. From 2004-2006, the IndyCar Series used 3.0 L engines. From 2000-2003, the IndyCar Series also used 3.5 liter engines. The increase in displacement is to counter the expected horsepower loss resulting from the switch to a 100% ethanol fuel blend.
Fuel cells in the cars will be reduced from 30 gallons to 22 gallons to offset the improved mileage experienced by ethanol.^[25]
All cars will carry a rear-mounted safety light, to be controlled by race officials.
On short ovals and road courses, front wings may be set at any angle between negative 5 and positive 5 degrees.
Race day morning warm-up practice sessions have been eliminated. As a result, pre-qualifying practice sessions will be extended by 15 minutes.
If qualifications are cancelled for an event, the starting lineup will be based on entrant points. In previous seasons, top practice speeds have been used.
Series officials will have the discretion to determine the rookie status of any driver, regardless of the number of races started in previous seasons.^[26]
IndyCar Series teams that participate in the Indy Pro Series can earn bonus testing days for the 2007 calendar year. The bonus testing days will be awarded following participation in designated 2007 IPS events, and are shared by the team's IndyCar Series driver and IPS driver. They can be conducted at any IndyCar Series venue except Indianapolis or Mid-Ohio.

Round 2 of 17: Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

Streets of St. Petersburg - St. Petersburg, Florida (1.8 mile street/airport course)
Distance: 100 laps / 180 miles
Race weather: 79° F, sunny
Television: ESPN - race advertised as Honda Indycar Grand Prix presented by XM Satellite Radio.
- Announcers: Marty Reid, Scott Goodyear, Jack Arute, Vince Welch, Brienne Pedigo

Attendance: 100,000+ (estimated)[24]
Pole position winner: Helio Castroneves- 1:01.6839, 105.052 mph (169.065 km/h)
Race Summary: Pole winner Helio Castroneves led 95 of the 100 laps, holding off Scott Dixon for the win by 0.6007 seconds, the closest finish on a road circuit in IRL history. On the first lap, five cars were involved in a spin, including Tony Kanaan. In practice, Kanaan had crashed his qualified car, but the team made repairs so he could start in the 6th position rather than using a backup. The spin dropped him to the rear of the field. After a series of pit stops under yellow, Dan Wheldon took the lead. On a lap 35 restart, Castroneves bumped Wheldon from behind, and slipped by to take the lead for good. In the best run by a Foyt team in a few season, Darren Manning ran as high as third until a late spin dropped him to 13th. After the first lap spin, Tony Kanaan recovered to finish third.

Round 3 of 17: Indy Japan 300

Distance: 200 laps / 304 miles

Television: ESPN (same-day tape delay at 3:00 p.m. EDT) - race advertised as Firestone Indycar 300
- Announcers: Marty Reid, Scott Goodyear, Jack Arute, Vince Welch, Brienne Pedigo
- Broadcast originally scheduled for 12 noon EDT, rescheduled for 3:00 p.m. due to NBA playoffs coverage.

Attendance:
Pole Position winner: Helio Castroneves 26.6416 seconds, 205.393 mph (330.548 km/h)
Race Summary: For the second time in two oval races this season, Dan Wheldon dominated much of the race. However, unlike at Homestead, he would not be victorious, and even lost use of his two-way radio. With about 15 laps to go, the final sequence of pit stops for fuel began, and threatened to shuffle the field. Tony Kanaan's AGR team used a late-pit strategy, which saw him take on less fuel and a shorter stop. With four laps to go, Kannan took the lead and held off Wheldon to claim his first victory of the season. With Kanaan's win, the first three races of the season have produced three different winners representing three different teams. During practice, both Kosuke Matsuura and Danica Patrick turned in some of their best on-track performances thus far this season. Neither were factors during the race however, and Matsuura, in fact, crashed out on the first lap in front of his home country.
