In order to further the development of their respective engines, Honda with Scott Dixon driving and Chevrolet along with Will Power made their way to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in their own Dallara Automobili-built chassis.
The test, held on October 4th, was another occasion to gather some more information on both the new chassis as well as the 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6 engines.
A second two-day test is scheduled for the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway following the IZOD INDYCAR World Championships Presented by Honda on Oct. 16.
Data gathered during the chassis tests at three road courses and two ovals will be digested and assimilated in the first production order scheduled to be delivered to IZOD IndyCar Series teams in mid-December.
They’ll start testing with associated manufacturers after the first of the year as the series will have engine manufacturer competition for the first time since 2005. The season opener is March 25 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.
