ABC and NBCSN pit reporter Jon Beekhuis, "Professor B," breaks down the Honda aero kit changes permitted under Rule 9.3 of the Aero Kit Regulations.

IndyCar.com is proud to introduce an ongoing series of videos that will go behind the scenes to help explain Verizon IndyCar Series racing. "INDYCAR 101 with Professor B" is hosted by longtime pit reporter and former Indy car driver Jon Beekhuis.

"Professor B's" first assignment is a topic of much discussion during the offseason. Under Rule 9.3 of the Verizon IndyCar Series Aero Kit Regulations, if a supplier believes it is at a competitive disadvantage with its aero kit, it may petition INDYCAR to make modifications to its kit components to put it on more equal footing with the competition.

Honda did just that following the 2015 season and, following extensive wind tunnel testing comparing the Honda and Chevrolet aero kits, INDYCAR permitted Honda to make changes to its road course/street course/short oval configuration in three areas: the sidepods, front wing endplates and rear wing endplates. Those changes are in effect for all Honda entries in the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series paddock.

Watch "Professor B" give precise details on the process and how to spot the changes Honda made.
