RLL drivers puzzled by underperformance in first practice for IndyCar's season-opener at St. Petersburg
The track surface between Turns 3 and 4 caused a lot of consternation for many drivers, with several striking the wall including Lundgaard on the exit of T3 and Rahal under braking for T4. Consequently the pair completed only 13 and 18 laps respectively, compared with the 29 of the session’s pacesetter Scott Dixon. They wound up 25“We are really lacking rear support and grip, which is natural,” said Rahal, who scored his first ever Indy car win at St Petersburg back in 2008.
“We’ve got to look into it, figure out what’s going on and get the United Rentals car turned around overnight. “That’s a positive actually, which may sound weird, but it’s a positive because I think we can find a lot of that gap if we can find some stability.” “The wind is quite strong out there and if that’s what messed up the balance, I don’t know. Apparently, that’s across two of our cars so we’ll have to dig deep tomorrow and see how much we can improve for qualifying.”
