\u201cA big thank you to the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team for giving me this opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same goes for driving this car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time, a race track with a big history and that my dad has driven on before.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am excited to see which special features it holds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schumacher said he was interested to see how IndyCar compares to cars he had previously driven.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very curious to understand the special features and characteristics of this race car, which is different from the cars I am used to driving, yet similar, and I remain very interested in gaining experience in the diverse world of motorsport,\u201d said Schumacher.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat to be able to see what it is all about and how difficult it is, since I hear a lot about how tough it is physically.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a secret that I am big fan of single seater racing after all, so this first IndyCar test will be an experience to treasure, and I am very much looking forward to driving a car where I can see my wheels.\u201d<\/p>\n
RLL co-owner Bobby Rahal said he was interested to see how Schumacher performed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have followed Mick\u2019s career from afar as well as that of his father so the thought of seeing him in one of our race cars is very exciting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a great day for RLL and also for Mick, as he gets his first experience in an Indy car.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, he\u2019s got a great deal of talent and knowing that we\u2019ve had pretty good setups for the IMS road course, it should give him a good baseline to start from.\u201d<\/p>\n
