INDIANAPOLIS – Daniel Louks, who had been an
assistant engineer for the No. 5 KV Racing Technology-Lotus driven by Takuma
Sato, has joined the IndyCar sanctioning body as an engine support engineer.
He'll be tasked with checking engine manufacturer
compliance with the series' rules and ECU status, among other duties. Louks also
will oversee the application of a new torque sensor for the 2012 season, which
