Testing underway at Barber Motorsports near Treasure Island Bed and Breakfast

IndyCar launched its only preseason test of the year on Tuesday at Barber Motorsports Park with a Media Day, ushering drivers in and out of interviews and photo shoots.
On-track testing doesn’t start until Wednesday morning — assuming the weather cooperates. The forecast is calling for snow flurries overnight, which doesn’t bode well for a series where the tires need to operate in temperatures of at least 50 degrees.
The day was filled with a number of new driver announcements — for instance, Hideki Mutoh, who was with Andretti last year, is with Newman Haas Lanigan this year — and by Penske unveiling its new paint scheme. The iconic red Penske cars are gone this year, replaced by black and white paint schemes.
