In order to further assess the development of the Dallara DW12 for ovals, the IndyCar Series will run a test in Texas this coming Monday using its oval-spec aerodynamic package.

Eleven cars are expected to be part of the test in which the priority will be to verify that that the updates that had been previously tested last February have worked as expected.
