IndyCar – Luca Filippi began testing with CFH Racing

The 2 GP2011 Series vice-champion Luke Philippi has already been able to slip into the seat of the #12 Chevrolet-powered DW20 from CFH Racing, which he will share with driver-owner Ed Carpenter in 2015. The Italian will be lined up for the road and city races of the championship, when Carpenter will take over on the ovals.

“I looked for a contract in IndyCar for a while and I can't remember the last time I had the opportunity to have a program and a contract with time to have testing before the first race, explains Filippi on the sidelines of his tests at Sebring in Florida. Now it's different. We have tests and preparation time. We have the opportunity to go to the first race well prepared. »

CFH Racing, which will return to the track next week during tests at NOLA Motorsports Park in Louisiana, will begin the IndyCar Series season on March 27 in St Petersburg, Florida, following the cancellation of the first round initially scheduled for Brasilia, Brazil on March 8.
