IndyCar testing begins at Sebring

Sebring, FL (Sports Network) - IndyCar testing at the Sebring International Raceway road course begins on Monday. A modified 11-turn, 1.7-mile circuit will be used.

Following the season opener at the Homestead-Miami Speedway (1.5-mile oval), the series races on the streets of St. Petersburg, FL and this test should provide some insight as to who will be strong on the road courses.

At the Sebring test, the teams will use a new paddle shifting system.

"I look forward to seeing what the paddle shifting will be like at Sebring, where you've got your hair on fire and you're really driving aggressive," said Ryan Hunter-Reay.

In the oval test at Homestead last month, Danica Patrick paced the field on day two with a lap speed of 213.182 m.p.h. despite not feeling well. Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Dan Wheldon, a three-time defending champion at Homestead, was fastest on day one with a lap of 213.312 m.p.h.
