. MeyerShankRac's tom_blomqvist eager for more IndyCar opportunities while remaining committed to sportscars for now
Although fuel levels and even push-to-pass boost data was kept largely secret between the five teams that were, 28-year-old Blomqvist’s best effort was nonetheless an impressive 0.33sec clear of his nearest opposition, Formula 2 race winner Juri Vips in the Rahal Letterman Lanigan-Honda.
"I think for a career, it’s another step up and I think as a racing driver you always want to try and keep working your way up to bigger and better things, and I think IndyCar is that, over here in America. "It’s obviously a conversation I need to have with [team co-owners] Mike [Shank] and Jim [Meyer], and then it’s a question of, ‘Do I want this enough and do I believe I can do the job and do they believe I can do the job?’ It’s obviously a conversation that needs to be had, looking through data, and then maybe an opportunity further down the road and really see if this is something that both parties want to pursue.
“All that stuff helps,” said the Anglo-Swede, who will also race in the LMP2 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship next year with United Autosports. “I’m getting more and more experience as a racing driver, and working with different people, different manufacturers, new cars – the LMDh is a big step up in terms of technology.
“So a good day, enjoyed it, a bit tired now – but I held up reasonably OK. Definitely a lot more physicality to it.”
