. SimonPagenaud sad that simulator time has largely replaced real track time in IndyCar as he seeks to remedy MeyerShankRac tire wear issues from ’22
Ahead of IndyCar’s two-day test at Thermal Club this week, Pagenaud of Meyer Shank Racing was asked what he hopes to achieve on Thursday and Friday.
“We've done a lot of work on simulators with the designs, several packages we think might be better for the problems that we had last year. One of the main issues was tire wear, which was my main problem in races. Pagenaud said the reduction in testing particularly hurts IndyCar teams trying to catch up, such as Meyer Shank, especially given the variability of the tire compounds from track to tracl,
“The tire is the most important thing on the racecar, especially when you're in a series like IndyCar right now that is so close. We know the car so well that the margin for improvements are very small. If you can just extract a little bit more out of the tire, you're going to have a better advantage. Penske did that last year, they figured out what it was. We didn't. The goal for us is to figure that out with the little bit of testing we get.
“It's going to take a little bit of time. You've got to be patient. But you have to know how good you are inside and you have to believe in it. Certainly when results start showing, then all of a sudden the rise is even stronger and it makes you feel really good. So that is a big positive.
