Indy: Fisher with engine manufacturer Honda

The Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing team, which entered IndyLights champion Josef Newgarden this season, was uncertain of being able to compete in the first events, Lotus not having been able to supply enough engines for all its client teams. She will finally be able to start the inaugural race in St Petersburg using the Honda engine abandoned by Rahal Letterman Lanigan, who had considered running Luca Filippi on a second car.
