Champ Car: Testing at Sebring

It's almost over. The cold dark winter of Champ Car doldrums. Some of the teams went to the racetrack in Sebring, Florida this week. We finally got to see the new Panoz DP-01 in action. Well we actually saw the development car in action last year. This was the first time the teams got to put the cars under pressure to perform. Various technical problems were addressed. Downshifting seems to have been the biggest problem. Everyone seems to agree the car held up extremely well.

A bit of history one day one of testing. At the end of the first practice session with the brand new chasis, who should be at the top of the time charts?... Katherine Legge. Driving in a Dayle Coyne car no less. Doesn't get any better than that.
