I think it’s going to be a great day for RLL and also for Mick, as he gets his first experience in an Indy car. Obviously, he’s got a great deal of talent and knowing that we’ve had pretty good setups for the IMS road course, it should give him a good baseline to start from.”Both the Rahal and the Schumacher are well known families in the world of Motorsports and the IMS test in October will be union of the two.
