DRRが好調！

今ホームステッドでテスト２日目が終わった所ですね。タイムチャートを見ると茂木で走るDreyer&Reinboldのマイクが良いタイムを出してきましたね！テストとは言えども、最後にしっかり纏めて来た所を見ると、チームの戦闘力がアップしている所を感じます！！今から茂木が楽しみです！！

Just ended the second day of testing at Homestead. I was really surprised to see the DRR driver Mike Conway in 8th. I think the team has really stepped up during the winter and I can' wait to get back in to the car!!

去年走ったBECKは３Gと言うチーム名に変更して、ドライバーには知り合いのスタントンが走っています。最初のテストは無事に終わり、最下位に終わってしまいましたが、今後はどんどん伸びて行くでしょう。でも改めてエンジニアの力によってチーム力が変わる事を実感する一日でした。ここだけの話、去年は助っ人で日本から某GTチャンピオンチームのエンジニアがお手伝いに来てくれたのですが、もう一日あれば予選も余裕でクリアーできる車が作れたんですよね。そんな悔しい思いも今年のレースにぶつけるぞ〜！！

The team I drove last year Beck Motorsports is now called 3G Racing and my buddy Stanton is driving for them. They safely ended their two...or three days of testing and although they are at the bottom of the speed chart, I'm sure they will get better as he they get more acquainted with the car. It just shows how competitive the IRL is and how important the engineering staff is to the team. I actually had one of my buddy who is an engineer for the Best All Japan GT team in Japan come to the 500 last year day before the bump day. He has helped so much that I'm sure I would have made the field if we had another day. I guess that's an excuse for not making the field but I will just need to go out there again and prove that we can get the job done!!
