Héten az össznépi NXT teszten Sophia meglepően gyors volt.

Rookie Sophia Floersch, who joined HMD Motorsports in December, made quite an impression by ending up sixth overall and fifth among full-time drivers in the No. 24 machine.

German driver Floersch was less than a half-second behind overall leader Hauger and was the quickest driver for series powerhouse HMD, including ending up slightly less than a hundredth of a second ahead of teammate Caio Collet, the 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone Rookie of the Year.

 

Deegan még mindig nagyon elmaradva, kicsit Keszthelyi menedzsment stílusban írtak az ő teszteredményeiről:

 

Deegan is moving from NASCAR and ARCA stock car series to INDY NXT by Firestone in 2025, her first-ever season in an open-wheel car. That’s a huge challenge, whether it’s learning of the role of aerodynamics in a winged car or figuring out how the INDY NXT car handles compared to a much heavier stock car.

She ended up at the bottom of the time sheets this week at Sebring, but that’s deceiving. Deegan made real progress through each of the four sessions as she drinks from a fire hose.

After the afternoon session Wednesday, Deegan was nearly 2.9 seconds off the pace. By the end of the test Thursday, she reduced that gap to 1.8 seconds from Hauger.

That’s an improvement of almost 1.1 seconds in 24 hours. Deegan still has much to learn and many more laps to turn, but she’s getting up to speed and absorbing lessons quickly.
