. ScottDixon9 says CGRTeams found 'two pretty big things' to improve its IndyCar form, particularly on road courses

In a season in which Team Penske-Chevrolet landed nine wins, Ganassi took only four – notwithstanding the fact that one came in the Indianapolis 500. And while Dixon, Alex Palou and Marcus Ericsson finished third, fifth and sixth in the final points table, none of them entered the 2022 finale with a truly realistic shot at the title.“I think the outlier was definitely road courses, where we had inconsistency either between the cars or in general,” he said.

“I think outside of that, our other packages have been pretty strong. You keep working at it in the off-season is where most of the preparation is done for understanding kind of your weaknesses, and that was definitely a big outlier for us.” “Yeah, there's some outliers that we were doing pretty wrong,” said Dixon, “so I think that would emphasize more of that circuit type, if you look at the consistency or the inconsistency for us. The tire, too, is quite sensitive now. It plays to some driving styles a little bit easier than others, so that's kind of another window you've got to unlock a little bit.

Cheaper that packing the car into a hauler and heading to the track. Plus not costs associated with wrecking simonpagenaud MeyerShankRac I get that it costs less to run a Sim but it really is a shame they don't have as many actual test days. there's always going to be something that happens in the cars or with a track you can't simulate. simonpagenaud MeyerShankRac 👏
