PREVIEW: NTT INDYCAR SERIES |<\/span> RD. 7&8
CHEVROLET DETROIT GRAND PRIX<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n


With the Indy 500 now completed, attention shifts towards the next phase of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign for Felix Rosenqvist. This weekend marks a welcome return to the streets of Detroit, where the Arrow McLaren SP Swede is hoping to bounce back \u2013 quite literally \u2013 in an important double-header.<\/strong>
 
Rosenqvist arrives at the Belle Isle street track, known for its rough and bumpy tarmac, in good spirits – despite struggling for results so far in 2021.
 
However, the Indy 500 proved a step in the right direction, and when INDYCAR last visited Detroit back in 2019 (the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the on-going pandemic), Rosenqvist finished fourth in one of the two races that traditionally make up the \u201cDual in Detroit\u201d.
 
An acknowledged street track specialist, with victories in both of Formula 3\u2019s blue-riband Grand Prix events in Macau (China) and Pau (France), as well as multiple Formula E triumphs at city-centre locations, Rosenqvist is understandably looking forward to the weekend ahead.
 
\u201cDetroit is basically the exact opposite to Indy 500, and that\u2019s what makes INDYCAR so much fun,\u201d says Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cThe variation in this championship is great. We\u2019ve got a completely new weekend ahead of us now, and even though it\u2019s been a tough start to the year, I can assure you there\u2019s only optimism within the team. We\u2019re working hard and we know we\u2019ll get there eventually \u2013 I\u2019m hoping Detroit could be that time and place, especially with double points up for grabs.\u201d<\/em>
 
The Detroit street course, laid out on the picturesque island of Belle Isle in the Detroit River, is 2.3 miles in length and features an interesting mix of fast corners and venue-typical 90-degree turns.

The primary overtaking spots are Turn 3 and Turn 7, both featuring heavy braking zones at the end of the track\u2019s two main straights.
 
The Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix “Dual” gets underway with free practice on Friday. Saturday and Sunday feature identical schedules, each containing one qualifying session and a subsequent race.
 
Both races will run over 70 laps and are worth the same amount of championship points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
