Yes… You read the title correctly. IRLblog is on site covering the IndyCar and Firestone Indy Lights testing at Homestead Miami Speedway. Today the rookies of the Firestone Indy Lights are on the track. Teams did not waste any time this morning getting the ball rolling. With more rookies than veterans scheduled to test over the course of today and tomorrow, I don’t see why they would have. Drivers such as Brandon Wagner of Davey Hamilton Racing, Martin Plowman and Pippa Mann of Panther Racing, Mario Romancini of RLR / Anderson Racing, and Junior Strous of ASR-Nelan Motorsports have been turning laps since 9 a.m. Team PBIR, although a new team has put no stranger to American open wheel racing Jay Howard behind the wheel. PBIR will not test today but will be on track tomorrow along with the rest of the Firestone Indy Lights teams.
Pippa Mann is the fastest rookie on the track thus far with a best speed of 187.582 mph around the 1.5 mile oval with the majority of the field just 1 mph slower. You can watch live Firestone Indy Lights Scoring by following the link below.
