Houston, TX, August 2, 2026 —
Alex Palou and Alexander Rossi, two prominent IndyCar drivers, recently participated in a test session for the upcoming IndyCar model at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
Both drivers offered positive feedback following their initial experiences with the new car. Palou and Rossi highlighted their satisfaction with the vehicle’s updated aesthetics, its handling characteristics, and the overall comfort it provides to the driver.
Alexander Rossi specifically commented on the advancements made in the car’s smoothness during operation. He also noted an increase in cockpit space, suggesting a more accommodating environment for the drivers.
The test session was impacted by inclement weather, limiting the amount of track time available to the drivers. Rain curtailed the planned running, preventing extensive evaluation in dry conditions.
Despite the limited opportunity to test the car fully, Palou and Rossi both conveyed enthusiasm for the new model and expressed a strong desire to conduct further testing. They are particularly eager to evaluate the car’s performance and capabilities when race conditions are not affected by rain.
Further testing is anticipated to provide more comprehensive data on the new IndyCar model’s performance and driver feedback.
