Opening weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dawned bright and sunny with the Lotus HVM Racing team spending the majority of the day preparing the #78 Nuclear Clean Air Energy car for a late day run, while IZOD IndyCar driver Simona De Silvestro met with her engineers.
Shortly before happy hour began at 5:00 p.m. De Silvestro took the track for her first laps on an oval this season. The Swiss driver ran 18 laps total with a couple of stops in the pit to make adjustments to the setup of the car and finished the day having broken the 200 mph barrier. She did an additional 19 laps on Sunday and feels that progress is being made and that she will continue to go faster throughout this week’s practice.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is open daily for practice from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. this week with qualifying beginning on Saturday, May 19th at 11:00 a.m. for the first 24 positions and finishes up on Bump Day, Sunday, May 20th from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Both days of qualifying will be televised on NBC Sports Network.
