Rosenqvist, the current Formula 3 European champion, will take to the track at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (USA) for a one-day test on Thursday (21 July), becoming the first Swede since Kenny Br\u00e4ck in 2005 to drive a Verizon IndyCar Series machine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an incredible opportunity for me,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cThe Verizon IndyCar Series is the biggest and fastest racing series in America, and it\u2019s every driver\u2019s dream to be given a chance like this – and I intend to make the most of it. It\u2019s especially thrilling to be doing this with Chip Ganassi Racing, a top team steeped in history that I grew up following on TV. Hopefully I can do a solid job and I\u2019m sure this will be a truly unique experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
