Was wondering. If the new car is running it's 1st tests in Atlanta starting July 12th, who might the test driver(s) be? Would he be a Panoz guy? An old Champcar guy? I should think he'd be a racer with Lola/Reynard experience for valid comparisons. Maybe an ex-crapper, too? Is any of that even important at this stage or are test drivers even an issue? Hope the whole thing follows the Swift scenerio. I want video! :D

Test driver should be present Champcar driver.Should be a winner of the last race or ponts leader and you would have direct comparison.

Have a disgruntled former 2x series champion, who wants nothing further to do with open wheel, perform the very first test and put him on the cover of your next media guide? Discover roll hoop cracks 1/3 of the way through the season? ;)

There's only one guy out there with the pedigree to flog the new champcar for it's maiden run.

























































Joe Tanto

I'm stunned that there isn't massive fan support for Memo Gidley

or Donnie Beechler.

OK, so I'm reading now the 1st test is Aug. 15 instead, but Moreno was the guy I had in mind when I started the topic. :thumbup: We'll see.

One name. Moreno

First name. Memo. Last name. Moreno

But in all seriousness, sidepod Jimmy should get the test. Give him any advantage for a one off at mindy post unimergificationary.
