Hi there!

I have a set 8445 Indy Storm and need some background info about the name of
this set.

For example I've found this set description:
"8445 Indy Storm is a TECHNIC set released in 1999. The set includes the Indy
Storm Racing Car which is a yellow and black F-1 car with working steering and
a moving piston engine."

But, as I understand, in real life, Indy Cars are different from Formula 1 cars.
I'm really confused. [Jeep Defender, Xerox Canon, Indy Formula 1 ??]

Does anyone know what is behind the name of this set?
What "Storm" refer to?
I could not find any mention about real Indy Storm. Thought there are a lot info
about Indy Racing Cars in general.



Thanks!

The name is what LEGO referred to it as in the 1999 catalogues.
