IndyCar: Servia set to return at Panther DRR

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
As we had anticipated some weeks ago, veteran driver Oriol Servia will be returning to the Panther DRR team for the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series season driving once again the No. 12 Chevrolet/DW-12.

For the Spaniard, it will be a second season with the Indianapolis-based squad as the strategic alliance between Panther DRR and Panther Racing is also continuing, allowing Servia to work with the no. 4 team and driver JR Hildebrand.

The partnership was formed in May and created a competitive advantage that provided more resources to each team's effort.

Servia and Panther DRR will return to the track for a test at Sebring International Raceway on December 12-13, 2012.

2013 Acura ILX 2.4 - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
It's just a good little luxury car that you want to drive quickly.

Our own Evan McCausland wrote favorably about his first drive of the Acura ILX months ago, but to me his report was just white noise, and I had not been able to consider any aspect of the new small sedan other than its exterior styling, which I find uninspiring. So it was with low expectations that I slid behind the wheel of the ILX yesterday evening. What a pleasant surprise: the ILX drives incredibly well. It's easy to forget how nice it is to be in a proper little sport sedan with a really good manual gear shifter and nice clutch pedal takeup. All the right nuances are there.

The F Sport represents a more mature approach to speed from Lexus.

Well, things are not going entirely according to plan. The car splashes through a big puddle and the steering suddenly gets light, and it comes to us that maybe our enthusiasm has sucked us a little too far and a little too fast into this big bend on slick, rain-swept pavement with the 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport.
