Scheckter impressed with Toyota
Ganassi Racing IRL driver Tomas Scheckter is impressed with the progress Toyota is making with its all new V8 engine
The South African tested the motor at the one-mile Phoenix oval on Thursday, covering around 150 laps.
"It went well," Scheckter said. "The relationship between me and the team is building up well. What we developed in the test at Homestead, we brought here. With every lap, we're getting better and better, and we're heading in the right direction.
"It's a very professional team," Scheckter added. "They are very aggressive and want to win. I'm building a good relationship with my engineers. They understand what I need, and I'm understanding what they need from me. We're learning more with every lap we turn."
Scheckter's contract dispute with former team Cheever Racing and TWR Group Ltd, which claimed it held a valid contract with the South African, has ended. The case was due to be heard in court next week, but a call to 'strike out' the order, which meant the claimants had to foot the legal bill, was not opposed.
