Chevrolet will provide a turbo engine for Britain' Katherine Legge at the Grand Prix of Sonoma IndyCar race at the end of August.
After competing in the first five races (the initial four with a Lotus engine before Dragon Racing switched to Chevrolet in mid-May), she has shared the car and its Chevrolet 2.2-liter, twin turbocharged V6 engine with Sebastien Bourdais.
Bourdais, a former Formula 1 driver has driven in the four road/street course races since the Indianapolis 500 on May 27. Legge has driven in the three oval races since competing in her first 500 Mile Race.

Thanks to Chevrolet providing a second engine to the team for the GoPro Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma on August 24-26, Legge will compete in her first road course race since Barber in early April.
Legge will join 22 other drivers in testing at the recently reconfigured Sonoma circuit August 17.
