Bourdais returns to IndyCar in Toronto

Entry at the last minute on the road circuits of the 2011 calendar with Dale Coyne Racing, the Manceau had a difficult start to the season in the discipline car major in the United States. In four races, his best result was an 11th place in Barber and his best qualification was a 12th place on the grid in Sao Paulo.

Next weekend, Sébastien Bourdais will reunite with his team with whom he will attack the Toronto circuit. The Canadian circuit on which he signed three pole positions (the last in 2007) during the Champcar days with Newman-Haas, and on which he pocketed a victory in 2004, the year of his first US title. “ There is concrete and asphalt and it is a fairly bumpy circuit. The surface changes from year to year, He explains. So I am sure that the track will be different from the one I experienced in 2007. There are generally only a few yellow flags and it has always been an interesting event. I think it will be the same ».

So here's Sébastien out for a spin, he who will contest five of the next six rounds on the calendar over the next two months, with Alex Lloyd occupying the seat of the No. 19 Dallara-Honda on the ovals. “ For me it is important not to do one race after another, he admits. Being a small team, everything takes more time. Turnover is therefore a good thing. I knew it wouldn't be easy and that it would be difficult at times, but I hope that in the end we will be able to progress. Getting to the start is one thing, but the most important thing is seeing the finish! »
