I believe the test is at Honda's request/funding. Also Aleshin's car is about to get unveiled, so Derani and Dorrbecker are both testing for a third car. Sam has the open wheel rights for this year and next year for both of em, and apparently wants to run them both later in the year on road courses.

Dudley posted:Dorrbecker of course is the guy whose last win was ahead of a 13 year old Minardi being driven by a guy who owns a supermarket. It's been a few years since we've had a real poo poo tier ride-buyer, get AMPED!! Coletti was pretty fast on occasion, same with Huertas and Rodolfo Gonzalez. I guess Dracone would be the last. It's pretty amazing that 2 years from Dracone, Coyne is now running the Indy Lights champion and a guy with 35 IndyCar/ChampCar wins.

Guy who north american openwheel really shoulda hung on to Robert Wickens is also going to test an SSM car at Sebring, with Hinch then testing Wicken's DTM car in Italy after St Pete. SSM really maximizing their extra test allotment for first time drivers, ha. http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/138315-hinchcliffe-wickens-set-for-indycar-dtm-ride-swap

RHR seizing Gentilozzi assets, lol http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/138322-hunter-reay-wins-protracted-suit-against-gentilozzi My dad ran Gentilozzi's GTP Lights team in 86 as Whitehall Rocketsports, with his longtime friend Skeeter McKitterick and this Alba AR5 Olds. I'm pretty sure he still complains to this day that Gentilozzi never paid the crew the prize money he owed them.

Everybody testing an IndyCar these days. The extra new driver test days have certainly added some fun to the off season, even if the tests arent serious. Ricky Taylor tested a Penske car at the HMS road course today: http://www.indycar.com/News/2017/02/02-23-Taylor-Penske-test

Panoz was owned by Don Panoz, hence the name. It was just a brand name of cars made by the consolidated Elan, Van Diemen, and G-Force groups. Together they were Elan Motorsports Technologies. The whole group was sold with Road Atlanta, Sebring, the ALMS assets, the racing schools, etc to NASCAR. Ganassi helped fund the initial Delta Wing, but that's it. He bailed when Nissan and everyone else did I believe.

its been kinda bizarre watching ESPN disintegrate, they seems so unstoppable and ubiquitous 10ish years ago not that them ditching IndyCar specifically means they are disintegrating (nobody watches indycar, afterall), i just meant more in general

Thats Stefan Wilson's chassis from the 500 with front and rear roadcourse wings from the 11? Also all of Stef's pit equipment from last year is up, but none of the 11's stuff, guessing that went to Juncos. You can tell when a team really is tits up when they list their machining equipment and cabinets. sad.

Ganassi wasn't joking when he was saying that Dixon's cars would have some familiar sponsors from the Target rotation. GE will be on the 9 for St Pete:

Fiat (Alfa), VW, and Mercedes were all in the manufacturer pow-wow they did before the 2.2l V6 formula was chosen. I don't think BMW, PSA, or Renault-Nissan were, as far as I remember.

If I was a manufacturer, I would not bother entering IndyCar without Penske, Ganassi, or Andretti as an anchor, regardless of who else you can snag or bring into the series. Andretti is obviously the least desirable of the three, but they at least have the staff, cars, and institutional knowledge/experience to get you up and running. Without one of those, you are setting yourself up for failure. Rumors on TF and other places mentioned the aerokit cost and lack of an available anchor as factors that kept the mystery 3rd engine from jumping in earlier, and that seems pretty logical.

I imagine we will get a more realistic picture when people use their red set in practice 2. Not gonna sandbag with those when you only get 1 chance on them.
