IndyCar drivers like exposed rear tires on new aero kit

On a sun-splashed day perfect for testing INDYCAR’s new universal aero kit, the lasting view for Juan Pablo Montoya wasn’t the scenic Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Rather, it was the sight of Oriol Servia’s car in front of him.

Last week’s test on the hills and curves of the 2.258-mile road circuit concluded with Montoya and Servia running in tandem to get a feel for how the new cars behave in traffic – particularly the trailing car. Driving the blue test car powered by a Chevrolet engine, Montoya was tucked behind the rear wing of Servia’s red, white and black Honda-powered machine and liked what he saw.
