The Swede qualified on the front row for the season-opener in St. Petersburg back in March \u2013 his first race for new team Meyer Shank Racing \u2013 and then delivered MSR\u2019s first-ever INDYCAR pole position in Long Beach.<br>&nbsp;<br>Rosenqvist already has one INDYCAR podium to his name in Toronto, scored in 2022, and bagged double wins at the Ontario track in Indy Lights back in 2016.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><em>\u201cToronto has always been good to me,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cI remember my weekend in 2016 very fondly, and it was a key moment in my quest to get to INDYCAR. It\u2019s certainly a track I enjoy and that\u2019s always suited me well.\u201d<\/em><br>&nbsp;<br>Toronto is the first (and only) street race this season that will feature the newly introduced hybrid engine systems, something Rosenqvist believes could impact the racing perhaps more than at other venues.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><em>\u201cThis is our first street race with the hybrids, which I think will play a part here,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>Rosenqvist explains<\/strong>. \u201cTraction out of the slow corners is really important and with the additional torque of the hybrid, it could be quite a step in drivability, tyre wear and lap time. I don\u2019t think it will massively turn things upside down, but it\u2019s probably the one race this year where I think it could have the most significant impact.\u201d<\/em><br>&nbsp;<br>Practice for the Honda Indy Toronto begins on Friday. Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday, while the race \u2013 run over 85 laps \u2013 takes place on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>TIME TABLE<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><em>All times local (Eastern)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NTT INDYCAR SERIES | Rd. 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honda Indy Toronto<\/strong><br>Streets of Toronto (Canada)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Friday July 19<\/u><\/strong><br>Practice 1: 3:00-4:15 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Saturday July 20<\/u><\/strong><br>Practice 2: 10:30-11:30 am<br>Qualifying: 2:45-4:15 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Sunday July 21<\/u><\/strong><br>Warm-up: 10:00-10:30 am<br>Race (85 laps): 1:30 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>TIMING:\u00a0<\/strong>INDYCAR App \/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/felixracing.us12.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=73c511cfcad65d2a124d92dea&amp;id=d976c67ee7&amp;e=1e3d42ce61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">racecontrol.indycar.com<\/a><br><strong>HOW TO WATCH:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indycar.com\/ways-to-watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">view here<\/a><br><strong>TRACK DATA:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indycar.com\/Schedule\/2024\/IndyCar-Series\/Toronto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">view here<\/a><br><strong>CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indycar.com\/Standings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">view here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<!-- wp:themify-builder\/canvas \/-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felix Rosenqvist travels across the Canadian border this weekend as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES prepares to battle it out on the streets of Toronto&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,19],"tags":[130,56],"class_list":["post-17026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news3","category-press-releases","tag-2024-ntt-indycar-series","tag-honda-indy-toronto","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"aioseo_notices":[],"builder_content":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17026"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17029,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17026\/revisions\/17029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/felixracing.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
