VeeKay tops Barber IndyCar test as Grosjean marks cockpit return Autosport 24/02/2021 © LAT Images VeeKay tops Barber IndyCar test as Grosjean debuts
Rinus VeeKay put Ed Carpenter Racing on top in the 12-car IndyCar test at Barber Motorsports Park, while Romain Grosjean finished his first IndyCar test within one second of top spot.
Dutchman VeeKay, who earned rookie of the year laurels in 2020, lapped the 2.38-mile course in 66.518s to go 0.115sec faster than Sebastien Bourdais of AJ Foyt Racing, although the Frenchman held top spot without use of the push-to-pass overtake.
Rookie Grosjean was slowest of the cars in attendance in his first time in a car since his Bahrain Grand Prix crash last November and logged 83 laps. His best time, a 67.478s, was just 0.9s slower than Dale Coyne Racing team-mate Ed Jones, the 2016 Indy Lights champion making his series return after a one-year hiatus.
