IndyCar – Alex Tagliani stays with Bryan Herta

Alex Tagliani had a difficult season last year, the Bryan Herta Autosport team choosing to adopt the Lotus V6 unit which proved extremely disappointing before switching to the Honda engine to start the Indianapolis 500 . The change was effective since the Canadian managed to finish the legendary event in 12th place before distinguishing himself by winning pole in Texas. The driver representing the colors of Barracuda Racing intends to improve these results after having achieved a top five and eight top tens in 14 races contested last year. “The 2012 season was strong for us, despite the challenges we faced, and our results did not reflect all of our successes. In my second season with Barracuda Racing, we can only improve as a team. »

Bryan Herta, the owner of the eponymous team, does not hide the fact that the ambitions of the young team have been revised upwards with victory as the objective this season. “The combination of Alex and the entire BHA team and engineering group worked really well last year, and we all agree that Alex's presence will give us the best chance of victories and to be competitive on all types of circuits on the calendarIndyCar." Chief engineer Todd Malloy supports his boss's statements by emphasizing the experience gained last year. “Last season was a formative year for Barracuda Racing. It was our first full season in IndyCar and it didn't really get going until we joined the Honda family in time for the Indy 500. Then we could see Alex's true talent. He spends a lot of time with all the staff and is very meticulous about the details that improve the performance of the car and the team to reach the status of title contenders. »
