Rahal misses the plane but not the boat

Graham Rahal's plan to fly to Europe after Cleveland to test at Paul Ricard and then fly back to the United States for the Indianapolis weekend had to be changed on Monday when bad weather resulted in the 17-year-old youngster being delayed so much that the test became impractical. Rahal was due to test for the DPR Direxiv GP2 team, alongside Clivio Piccione and Olivier Pla.

Rahal hopes that the test can be rescheduled for later in the year and is now turning his attention to racing another new experience, racing in the Indy Pro Series for the first time at Indianapolis this weekend.
