Romain Grosjean to test in IndyCar oval to secure his seat for the full season

As reported by Autosport, Romain will test in Gateway to make his debut in the IndyCar oval next month. With the test, Grosjean is looking to secure his seat in the series for the rest of the season.

“We’re going to test with Romain at Gateway on 27 July, because we have every intention of doing the race there next month,” said Dale Coyne, owner of the team Grosjean races for.

“It’s also a good test because it’s a day-and-night test – runs from mid-afternoon to 11 o’clock at night–so it will also give him a good experience of how a track evolves, the different downforce levels he’ll feel in hot conditions and night conditions,” said Coyne.

Andretti Motorsport is very much interested in getting the former F1 driver

Dale Coyne is very happy with Grosjean in his team. But he acknowledged the fact that there is outside interest for the Frenchman, with Andretti Motorsport looking to get him for next season.

“Andretti’s team is good, and I understand a driver wanting to go there, but I think we’re doing a good job for him, too. He’s been quick everywhere we’ve run him, in qualifying and the race, which shows he’s pretty complete,” said Dale.

“But there’s no one more interested in him than we are. He’s done a great job for us – super personality, really nice guy who’s just loved IndyCar from pretty much the moment he arrived,” concluded Coyne.

It is heartening to see how quickly Grosjean has become a hot commodity in IndyCar as he struggled to get the attention in F1.

Will Grosjean stay with Coyne next season? Let us know.
