Following a successful test in November of last year, IndyCar’s KV Racing Technology signed Canadian Mikael Grenier as an affiliate driver.

Gernier, a former Indy Lights front runner, tested one of the team’s Dallara DW12 at Sebring late last year.

The Stoneham, Quebec native will take part in team meetings and will possibly test for the team, if circumstances allow that is.

“We are very happy to have Mikael be associated with KV Racing Technology,” said Steve Moore, general manager at KV Racing Technology.

“Mikael did a good job during the test earlier this year and we felt a more formal association was warranted. We look forward to having him attend several races this year in an effort to accelerate his learning curve with an eye toward developing a more substantial relationship in the future.”

“I am very grateful to Kevin Kalkhoven, Jimmy Vasser and Steve Moore for the opportunity to be associated and work with KV Racing Technology,” Grenier said in a press release.

“This is a great opportunity and I plan on taking full advantage, learning as much as I can. My goal is to race in the IndyCar Series and hopefully, this opportunity will help me achieve that goal.”
