This weekend, IndyCar is heading north of the Canadian border to race on the streets of downtown Toronto.
The initial session saw 27 drivers on track, including Nolan Siegel in the #6 Arrow McLaren Chevy, who missed the previous race due to a crash.
Despite Linus Lundqvist being brought in as a reserve driver, Siegel was cleared to race on this 1.79-mile course featuring various pavements, some of them extremely slick.
Kyle Kirkwood set the fastest time, navigating the challenging track ahead of Scott McLaughlin and Alex Palou.
Drivers faced slippery conditions, with some, like Marcus Armstrong and Will Power, showcasing skill, while others, like Juncos Hollinger Racing’s drivers, struggled.
A potentially dangerous moment occurred when McLaughlin went off track, but all drivers managed to avoid collisions, except for Jacob Abel, who sustained minor damage.
Next up for the drivers is a second practice run on Saturday morning, followed by qualifying for the main event.
