Five different IndyCar teams completed a test at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Wednesday, with the main focus being on providing seat time for drivers with little or no prior experience in the series. Reigning IndyNXT champion Dennis Hauger stood out as the sole driver with a secured IndyCar seat for the upcoming season. He familiarized himself with Dale Coyne Racing by running their #18 entry around the 2.258-mile course, working on both car familiarity and team integration. Other notable drivers at the test included IndyNXT competitors Caio Collet and Niels Koolen, as well as experienced racers Felipe Nasr and Kaku Ohta. Although all drivers encountered incidents causing some damage and track time loss, they still managed to log valuable laps during the test day. Further testing is on the horizon, with renowned driver Mick Schumacher set to participate in an upcoming session at IMS with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
