IndyCar\u2019s first-ever oval race using Firestone\u2019s alternate-compound tire will \u201ckeep everyone on their toes\u201d this weekend in St Louis, according to Arrow McLaren\u2019s Pato O\u2019Ward.
IndyCar’s first-ever oval race using Firestone’s alternate-compound tire will “keep everyone on their toes” this weekend in St Louis, according to Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward.Only two sets of the softer, red-walled alternate rubber will be made available to teams at World Wide Technology Raceway. They have been instructed to keep one set for the race and, unlike road and street courses, are banned from using them in qualifying.
This means they will only get one chance to evaluate them in Saturday practice before having to use them for a stint in Sunday’s race. The extra grip afforded will give drivers a boost in their quest for improving track position but their degradation will be key to a successful deployment in a racing situation.
“We're going back to an oval, which always produces some good racing,” said O’Ward. “This weekend, we have a different tire and a different extra tire, so I think that will keep everyone on their toes on strategy. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
