Arrow McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard says switching from Honda to Chevrolet has been pretty smooth. Lundgaard joined Arrow McLaren from Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing over the off-season. The Dane took part in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway test in October. Speaking to Paddock Eye during INDYCAR Content Days on Tuesday in Indianapolis, Lundgaard said:

It’s been very smooth, as well. Obviously I received a lot of questions from Chevy at the test at Indy, and I was kind of surprised in some of the differences. There’s obviously a few differences, but there was also some that was not really because of any manufacturer, just because of the car, and a lot of it turns out to kind of translate to just being the philosophy of the cars that were actually different.

But no, I think looking at where Chevy was in May, it’s something that I’m very excited for, and it’s a challenge that I’m prepared for at other tracks.

But I think it’s going to be a positive for me there. They’ve given me a lot of information and just resources for me to get up to speed from the get-go, which I appreciated a lot.

Lungaard will drive alongside Pato O’Ward and Nolan Siegel and will make his race debut with Arrow McLaren in 47 days with the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding, which takes place from February 28 to March 2. For further information, click here.
