Overview

• The session at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course will mark Schumacher’s first time driving an IndyCar.
• RLL says the one-day run is exploratory with an eye toward possible participation in the future, and the team reports no open seats for next season.
• Schumacher, 26, is a former Haas F1 driver now competing in Alpine’s World Endurance Championship program after serving as a Mercedes reserve.
• He said he is eager to learn the car’s characteristics and physical demands and noted the personal significance of turning laps at a track his father raced on.
• Team principal Bobby Rahal called the opportunity very exciting and said RLL’s strong IMS road course baseline should aid Schumacher’s first outing.
