ICYMI: Drivers start your engines: The Honda Indy returns to the lakeshore after pandemic hiatus
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.
“The race is very physical. The cars are very physical to drive, there is no power steering. So it's a place you can rest you your hands, your breathing comes down a little bit and you can reset for the next corner. So it's definitely a high mark of the track,” he said. “It's very technical . You know, second gear, third gear on the corners. So it's about the technique more than anything and being precise, inches, inches precise in terms of where you position the car.
He is excited to throw himself into what he calls the “immersive experience” of the event, whether that means the “sights, the sounds or the smells” of auto racing, which tend to permeate most of the west end neighbourhoods surrounding the track.“It means a lot. It's a world class motorsport festival that we put on in the streets of Toronto and there's a lot that goes into the event.
