Most Torontonians know what it is like to be stuck in traffic on Lake Shore Boulevard.
The French IndyCar driver won the last Honda Indy contested in Toronto back in 2019 and with the event making its return to the city this weekend following a two-year pandemic absence, he is eager to once again feel the “rush” of racing down Lake Shore Boulevard at speeds in excess of 200 miles an hour, hopefully with the traffic in his rear-view mirror.“Lake Shore is one of a kind.
Toronto, he says, is simply one of a kind in the racing world due to its mix of pavement types, tight corners as well as the straightaway on Lakeshore Boulevard that provides one of the course’s only opportunities to breathe. The big race, which drew a crowd of more than 30,000 back in 2019, comes about halfway through the IndyCar schedule and will be pivotal for drivers like Pagenaud looking to move up the standings.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of 10 races during the 2020 IndyCar season, including the Honda Indy.
