"They said, right from the start, that they will not put out a car that is not up to their usual high standard of preparation. It is reassuring for me to know that I will have a reliable car, especially given the commitment necessary to compete on some of these high-speed tracks.”
Power and Servia, meanwhile, will get their first taste of the IndyCar package with two days of testing today and tomorrow [19-20 March] after KV Racing Technology worked around the clock to have two cars ready for the Sebring session.
“All credit has to go to the crew guys because it is an absolutely outstanding effort to be able to get two cars together in such a short space of time,” Power said, “The test is going to be all about shaking the car down, learning what the Dallara is like to drive, how it reacts to certain things and, for me personally, working hard at getting to know all the team at KV Racing Technology. I think I owe them all a dinner already.”
Power is enthusiastic about the first test at Sebring, and keen to move on to the second session, under lights on the Homestead oval.
“That will be a very important test, and a chance to learn a lot for the first race of the season," the Australian commented, "The priority will be to build up confidence, get up to speed and keep the car straight, because the more track time you have the more you will learn.
“The second race of the season is a week later at St Pete, and it is the test this week at Sebring that will give us some good information for that street course event. Once we get on top of the car at the Sebring test, we will be tuning it more to suit the St Pete street circuit rather than trying to find a good set-up for Sebring itself.”
KV co-owner Jimmy Vasser was also keen to pay tribute to the workforce that has managed to fettle two cars in time for Sebring.
