IndyCar – Oriol Servia to participate in four races with Rahal LL Racing

Oriol Servià is one of the veterans of the series IndyCar. L’Espagnol de 39 ans avait fait ses débuts sur les ovales américains en CART en 2000 après être passé par l’Indy Lights. Après une saison 2013 chez Panther Racing, Servià effectuera quatre piges pour le compte du Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Le Toyota Grand Prix de Long Beach, le Honda Indy Grand Prix de l’Alabama, le Grand Prix d’Indi­anapolis (disputé 15 jours avant les 500 miles d’Indianapolis) et l’Indy 500 seront au programme du vice-champion ChampCar 2005.

“I have good memories of my last appearances with Rahal. I raced for Rahal in 2009, and we did the Indy 500. We were doing well until a fuel pump broke. This left us with the feeling that we could do great things together. That same year, I did a short stint at Newman / Haas where my teammate was Graham Rahal. There was a great chemistry between us and this was reflected in the results on the track where we finished third and fourth in the last race contested. » explains Servià.

“I always respected his ability to develop a racing car. When it came time to look at the possibility of fielding a second car, he was at the top of the list. We are happy to have him back and I look forward to having him help the team moving forward. » declares team co-owner Bobby Rahal.

Oriol Servià will be testing IndyCar at Barber Motorsports Park (Alabama) which will take place on March 17 and 18.
