The Honda Indy Toronto is all set for Sunday. Toronto has played host to open wheel racing under different series every year since 1986 except 2008 after which the series changed from CART to IndyCar.
Formula 1 to IndyCar
Anyone familiar with Formula One knows “Rubinho” as he was a staple for the last 19 seasons resulting in the longest career amongst F1 drivers past and present. Having said that he is also ironically a Rookie in the IndyCar series and as such has to learn how to drive what is a very different car from what Formula 1 uses. His best result this year is seventh place but obviously he is looking to do much better. It is also his first time driving the Toronto track, which he was a spectator at last year so that always adds a little to the nerves.
After a short break a few more drivers were brought to the room to give their insights and answer a few questions. This included another ex-F1 driver in Takuma Sato, ex-Dancing with the Stars winner Helio Castroneves and 2010 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year Simona De Silvestro. All of the drivers commented on the challenges they face with the Toronto track particularly in regards to the bumpiness of the temporary road circuit. The familiar high speed Lakeshore run has been repaved and the hope is that the surface is smoother than before. Their first view of the new surface will actually be at the track walk where they literally walk the track with their race engineers to get a feel for it. However they won’t really know if it is better than last year until they hit the track at speed during their opening practice session on Friday. Race officials also added that turns 7, 8 and 9 have been resurfaced with the hope of making them a little more predictable for the drivers but again they won’t know it until they first feel it. Another aspect that all the drivers agreed on and that is somewhat unique to the Toronto is the mix use of asphalt and concrete on the road surface. Asphalt provides a great deal more grip than concrete, which tends to make the car oversteer or understeer through corners. This sure does make for a more entertaining spectator experience, but it’s not necessarily the quickest way around the track.
