Tatiana Calderon has completed her IndyCar test with AJ Foyt Racing – supported by ROKiT – at Mid-Ohio amid praise from multiple drivers.
Super Formula and WEC racer, Calderon, had her first taste of a IndyCar machine on Tuesday, when she tested the AJ Foyt Dallara-Chevrolet machine at Mid-Ohio. She had series veteran Sebastien Bourdais guiding through her runs too.
While her focus remains on Super Formula and WEC, the IndyCar test gave her a chance to drive a different machine and open up an avenue for future. She completed 87 laps in the #14 ROKiT-liveried car, as she returned to State side after her junior time in Road to Indy.
Having already driven the F1 car with Alfa Romeo, the test added IndyCar to her growing CV, as she impressed with her run. “Tatiana did an awesome job,” said JR Hildebrand. “Her approach was that of a pro, making gains every lap and never being overwhelmed. Enjoyed helping you find your way around.”
Here’s host of photos and videos of the run:
