holy crap, Team Penske is not messing around!
Castroneves Confirmed for Penske Acura DPi Entry - Sportscar365

Look at that (All-Star) driver lineup.
  • Helio Castroneves
  • Juan Pablo Montoya
  • Dane Cameron
  • ANNNND, sounds like they're stealing Ricky Taylor away from Cadillac.

We know what a great program Penske runs and the success they've had in other racer series so if they have a solid car underneath them, they'll be a force next season for sure.

“It feels completely different now. It’s so confidence-inspiring to see the changes made to how it is on track. It’s a completely different car,” Nunez told NBC Sports.

The car was a lot more responsive and predictable to handle at the 3.56-mile Daytona “roval,” Nunez said.

“It seemed like the car was a lot more compliant. It’s easier to drive. It wasn’t doing anything ‘evil,'” Nunez admitted.

“You knew what it’d do, and it did it every time. At times before, you didn’t know what you were getting yourself into. Now it’s a lot more confidence-inspiring.”

This is refreshing to hear! Driver confidence in the car is extremely important, glad to hear they are getting it sorted and hope they have another successful day of testing today!

Hmmm, wonder if I should start a thread for next season.
