F2’s Maloney to test RLL IndyCar on IMS road course

Formula 2 championship contender Zane Maloney will conduct his first NTT IndyCar Series on Thursday. The test will take place with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, the team has confirmed to RACER.

The native of Barbados, who holds fourth in the F2 standings with two wins this season, has been actively pursuing opportunities in IndyCar. He will test for an RLL team in search of a replacement for its top performer Christian Lundgaard, who is departing for Arrow McLaren at the end of the season.

Like Maloney, Lundgaard arrived at RLL with multiple years of F2 experience, and with the Dane’s rerouting to IndyCar, he proved to be a revelation for the Honda-powered squad.
