Fresh from the Race of Champions, Felix is trading the snow and ice of Pite\u00e5 for southern California this week as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES field converges for an official two-day pre-season test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test will coincide with INDYCAR\u2019s first-ever appearance at The Thermal Club, a private facility opened in 2012 in Thermal, just outside Palm Springs. Running will play out on an INDYCAR-specific 17-turn, 2.9-mile layout of the track, combining the North and South Palm circuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place across Thursday and Friday, the test marks the first collective outing for the field since last year\u2019s season-finale at Laguna Seca. It will also see Felix making his first runs in the #6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, swapping away from the #7 used in the previous two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited to finally be back on track with the team,\u201d says Felix<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s been way too long. I haven\u2019t driven the car since September, so I\u2019m sure there will be some cobwebs. We\u2019re all thrilled to be out here in Palm Springs and we have a number of items to test over these two days. It\u2019s a brand new track for everyone, too, so plenty to get our heads around, but hopefully we can have a pair of productive days and get everything up to speed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The on-track action is preceded by two INDYCAR Content Days, featuring a host of media activities and interviews in the build-up to the new season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test can be followed through INDYCAR\u2019s digital channels, with live timing available on both days on the INDYCAR Mobile App and racecontrol.indycar.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
