Six NTT INDYCAR SERIES teams put the Firestone rubber on the road during a private test Jan. 18-19 at Sebring International Raceway in Florida, continuing preparations for the season that starts Sunday, April 11 at Barber Motorsports Park. Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport – two of the “Big Three” teams of INDYCAR in recent years – participated in the test, with Ganassi on track Monday and Andretti turning laps Tuesday. Palou appears to be an excellent fit for the team, as he was right in the tire tracks of teammates Dixon and Marcus Ericsson in the reported times Monday. Even an otherworldly talent like him needs time to get used to driving an Indy car. But still, how cool was it to see Indy cars and your favorite drivers on track again?
