Felipe Nasr made a strong return to NTT IndyCar Series testing for Team Penske at The Thermal Club, posting impressive lap times throughout the day. His final lap on Tuesday put him at the top of the running order with a time of 1m40.947. Other notable performances included Hunter McElrea from Ed Carpenter Racing in second place and Logan Sargeant from Meyer Shank Racing in third. Louis Foster from Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Enzo Fittipaldi from Arrow McLaren rounded out the top five, despite facing some car issues. Nasr, who worked with Josef Newgarden’s race engineer Luke Mason, was pleased with his performance and the opportunity to provide valuable feedback on the energy recovery system for Team Penske’s new hybrid IndyCar. His experience with hybrid cars in Formula 1 made him a perfect choice for testing and helping the team prepare for the upcoming season.
