Team Australia driver Simon Pagenaud has marked a successful two-day test by beating the 2003 Champ Car pole time around the Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course in Lexington, Ohio this week.
Pagenaud again exhibited the pace and potential of both he and the new-for-2007 DP01 Champ Car, going quicker than the 2003 pole time of 1:07.058 set by Paul Tracy at the last Champ Car event staged at the circuit as the Frenchman set a best lap time of 1:06.28.
The rookie completed two days of testing around the 2.4-mile (3.86-kilometre) road course in the #15 Aussie Vineyards Team Australia DP01, developing valuable set-up information around the twisting and undulating venue.
