    2012 INDIANAPOLIS 500 DAILY TRACKSIDE REPORTS NEWS ARTICLES 2012 Indianapolis 500 Daily Trackside Reports 1 Team, Drivers Happy With Test Of New Car At IMS. April 04, 2012 | By Tom Surber Nine teams jump‐started their preparation for the 96th Indianapolis 500 by testing the new IZOD IndyCar Series car Wednesday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Participating teams and the INDYCAR engine group gathered data regarding handling characteristics and performance levels from their Chevrolet and Honda‐powered cars. One car/driver combination from each team was invited to participate. Driving Chevrolet‐powered 2.2‐liter, twin‐ turbocharged V‐6 engines in their Dallara chassis were Ed Carpenter (Ed Carpenter Racing), Tony Kanaan (KV Racing Technology), Marco Andretti (Andretti Autosport), JR Hildebrand (Panther Racing) and Helio Castroneves (Team Penske). Driving Honda‐powered cars were Scott Dixon (Target Chip Ganassi Racing), Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing), Mike Conway (A.J. Foyt Racing) and Justin Wilson (Dale Coyne Racing). The cars were run in the Speedway configuration, with the new rear‐wheel guards that are taller, lighter and have a slightly different shape than the sets being used on the road/street circuits and the oval races at Texas Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway and The Milwaukee Mile. The new IZOD IndyCar Series car will make its competitive oval debut Sunday, May 27 at the 96th Indianapolis 500. Quotes from selected participants during the midday media availability: TONY KANAAN (No. 11 GEICO/Mouser Electronics KVRT w/ SH Dallara/Chevrolet) Q: What was it like out there? TK: It felt faster than the (previous) test that we did.

  • January 2020
    B Manawatu Car Club Inc MAGAZINE January 2020 Something for Everyone Page 1 of 41 EDITORSPEAK … email [email protected] Happy New Year one and all. May the year 2020 be everything you seek, may your motorsport vehicles multiply to fill your garage space, and go faster, and may all our race weekends be fine and sunny. I hope you have all enjoyed a break from the usual work routines and have spent time with family and loved ones over the festive season. We, as a club, have another pretty full on year planned (see the updated calendar) with plenty to keep you all busy, so let’s make it another year to remember for all the right reasons. It’s no secret that there has been some discussion at the Committee over the level of support for the Track Day series and what we can do to re-invent the concept, if indeed it even needs re-inventing. The findings that it was the best value for money and best run event (in that it gives the maximum amount of track time for participants at the least cost) of the several track days run at Manfeild came as no surprise – after all we have the best V-Force in the country. What puzzled was that many people were unaware of its existence, pointing to either a failure of our marketing or an issue with the naming and image. With continued support from Transpec and GT Oils we would very much like to grow this aspect of the Club’s arsenal as it provides an ideal taster for anyone wanting to try out the circuit and a low-cost lead into the bigger club race meetings.
