After surprising in the first round of the championship Indycar, Agostino Canapino approved this Friday try it as a beginner held in Texas, where the second round will be held, and was cleared to race in ovals.
“We finished the day. 142 laps between yesterday and today. I am approved: I will race the second round of IndyCar in Texas“, the four-time Carrera Turismo champion communicated on his social networks.
Through a video, the arreciefeño said that “it was two days and an unforgettable test”. “I feel sensations that are impossible to describe. But here we are. Now I’m getting ready for my first experience, which will be my first time in an oval race”, he reiterated.
The rookie test is a mandatory test that IndyCar performs on drivers who have no experience on this type of circuit. “There is no way to explain how it feels. I had never experienced anything like or similar“, recognized the multiple Argentine tourism champion.
“Now it remains to face the race, with 26 other cars, exceeding 370km/h wheel to wheel. Risky? Yes, a lot, but at the same time a unique challenge that motivates me a lot,” added Canapino, whose first challenge will be in two weeks at the Texas Motor Speedway.
On March 5, the Ricardo Juncos team driver, also from Argentina, made his IndyCar debut with a 12th-place finish in an incident-packed road race in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
