Then, on February 23-24, Pagenaud, Tagliani, Sato and the four Chip Ganassi Racing drivers will be joined at Sebring International by Lotus Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s Oriol Servia.

February 25, exactly one month before the opening event of the 2012 season in St Petersburg, is the engine homologation deadline as Chevrolet, Honda and Lotus must submit the final specifications of their 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6 engines to IndyCar series officials.
