Although most of the doubters in the American Indycar scene claimed that rear-engine cars were for drivers who like to be pushed around, as Brabham put it, it "triggered the rear-engined revolution at Indy" and within five years most of the cars that raced at Indianapolis would be rear-engined.
Aínda que a maioría dos escépticos na escena de Indycar de América afirmou que os coches de motor traseiro eran para os pilotos que lles gusta ser empuxados, como dixo Brabham, "provocou a revolución de motor traseiro na Indy" e cinco anos despois a maioría dos coches que competiron en Indianapolis fixérono con motor traseiro.
