The IndyCar Series will allow limited testing opportunities prior to the start of the 2008 season.
IndyCar Series teams will be allowed a maximum of four test days during the off-season - two days between October 22 and December 19 and two days from January 11, 2008 through February 20, 2008.
“Because we have very few opportunities to test, teams had limited chances to improve at tracks where they may have issues,” said Kevin Blanch, IndyCar Series technical director. “This will allow teams the flexibility to pick where they want to test and to improve.”
Tests days will be granted in addition to any Open Tests, manufacturer tests or bonus test days that the team has earned during the 2007 season.
Teams will not be allowed to carry over days from one testing period to another.
