Tracy completes Arizona test

Champ Car front-runner Paul Tracy completed a day of testing for the Forsythe Racing team at the Arizona Motorsports Park yesterday (Monday) as he prepares the next round of the Champ Car World Series at Laguna Seca

The Canadian had the new track all to himself, as he carried out one of the precious testing sessions allotted to Champ Car World Series teams during the course of the season. The Player's squad used the session mainly as an opportunity to test parts rather than run laps in preparation for a specific track on the schedule.

"Basically, we're just hunters and gatherers in this testing session," explained Tracy, who has won three races so far this season. "We're looking at data, collecting information and making changes as we go along."

Tracy's team-mate Patrick Carpentier tested on the track in April, and described it as one of the smoothest he had ever run on. Tracy agreed with this, and was impressed with the facility.

"It's a nice track," he remarked. "I found it smooth and easy on the tires. But because I was the only one out there, it was quite slick, because there wasn't much rubber set down. Obviously, the conditions weren't conducive to any track records. We had two sets of tyres for the day and we were running harder tyres than the ones Patrick used at his session."
