A monster 229.607mph lap from defending Indy500 champion Ericsson_Marcus saw him lead another Ganassi 1-2 in Thursday practice 👊 FULL REPORT & RESULTS 👇 IndyCar
Like yesterday’s session, there were very little incidents to report apart from O’Ward almost getting taken out by RC Enerson , who veered off the track onto the apron at racing speed before Turn 1 and into the pitlane exit, just as the McLaren driver was leaving. Fortunately, no contact was made – but it was reported that Enerson had lost contact with his spotter.
O’Ward said: “I’m sure he didn’t do it on purpose but that was definitely a close one! Exiting pitlane I was not expecting that. He must’ve seen me, and I know these oval cars are difficult to stop, but that could’ve been nasty for sure.” on 224.277mph. Practice resumes on Friday in Indy at noon, local time, for another six hours of running. Fast Friday, as it is known, sees the BorgWarner turbos common to the Honda and Chevrolet engines get wound up from 1.3-bar boost to 1.5-bar, a level at which they’ll remain until the end of qualifying on Sunday evening.
