Vitor Meira of Panther Racing and a driver representing Rahal Letterman Racing will drive Iowa Speedway’s 7/8-mile asphalt surface Monday as part of an Indy Racing League tire test.
The public can watch the testing — slated for two sessions, 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. — from a viewing area situated near the northeast corner of the Newton track.
Meira, who finished fifth in the 2006 IndyCar Series standings, will help determine what package the IRL’s cars will need to utilize in order to maximize performance on the relatively short track.
The drivers also will try various tire compounds to ascertain what will hold up best when the IRL races at Iowa Speedway, June 22-24, 2007.
Keep up the fantastic work! Look forward to reading more from you in the future. I think it will be also nice if you add “send to email” tool so people can forward the articles to their friends easily.
