Open Test Day


I’m trackside today for the open test ahead of this year’s Indianapolis 500. The weather seems to be improving, though it’s still pretty chilly for late April (52 degrees) and rain is possible this afternoon.

A few impressions following a trek through Gasoline Alley this morning:

The Pennzoil car always looks great

Three-time champion Helio Castroneves will take a break from his sports car career to try for a record-tying fourth victory in this machine. Which has a mighty small rear wing. Shades of Tom Sneva!


McLaren garage is a popular place

Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, after an impressive Indy debut in 2017, returns to try to add the final piece of racing’s unofficial triple crown: An Indianapolis 500 win. If successful, he would join Graham Hill as the only driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix, the 24 Hours of LeMans and the Indianapolis 500.
