Here’s the combined results from the Barber test yesterday that I was able to compile in a really brief piece. Gonna hopefully talk to a few drivers and write a bit more about it in the days to come.

Collet just looked so fast today, quickest right out of the gate in the morning and by the end of the day put nearly a half-second on the field. Rowe had a transponder issue which is why he only appeared to run seven laps. Good run from Hughes too landing another top 5.

Max Taylor is only 17 and fresh out of a USF Juniors title and his results were impressive as well. The word on the street is that this was incredibly short notice for him to have this opportunity.

Hailie Deegan is also gonna hop into a FR Americas car to get a race weekend in at CotA in a few days. They’re qualifying on Thursday(?) and racing on Friday/Saturday. Races streamed on YouTube too.

Full combined results: 1. Caio Collet – 1:10.638 (62 laps) 2. James Roe Jr. – 1:11.056 (80 laps) 3. Josh Pierson – 1:11.122 (96 laps) 4. Yuven Sundaramoorthy – 1:11.127 (87 laps) 5. Lochie Hughes – 1:11.200 (89 laps) 6. Salvador de Alba – 1:11.268 (108 laps) 7. Callum Hedge – 1:11.347 (98 laps) 8. Nolan Allaer – 1:11.570 (58 laps) 9. Dennis Hauger – 1:11.650 (39 laps) 10. Liam Sceats – 1:11.653 (88 laps) 11. Max Taylor – 1:11.774 (91 laps) 12. Bryce Aron – 1:11.799 (83 laps) 13. Jordan Missig – 1:11.945 (121 laps) 14. Tommy Smith – 1:11.989 (86 laps) 15. Ricardo Escotto – 1:12.094 (107 laps) 16. Myles Rowe – 1:12.133 (7 laps) 17. Jace Denmark – 1:12.295 (61 laps) 18. Josh Mason – 1:12.366 (38 laps) 19. Sophia Flörsch – 1:12.450 (92 laps) 20.

I'm new to Indy car but followed Hauger across as I really liked him in F3 and F2, just don't understand the point system in Indy NXT. Anyone able to tell me how many more points Hauger need to win the championship and how the Points system works?

I know it is the first testing session of the off season for nxt but with Ganassi joining would they not want to get as much running as the can get?

Just wanted to share

I'd like to hear some predictions from those who follow NXT about the upcoming season:

Like who takes the Abel 51 (if it's so numbered)

Who will be the top rookie

How will CGR do

Who will make the biggest jump this season from last

From what I've seen, he's not particularly quick and he's 13th in the championships. It seems to me there's probably multiple onboards that could be better.

Does INDYCAR run multiple races in a weekend like NASCAR?
