Day 1 Toronto Indy: Friday Practice.

I’m covering the return of the Toronto Honda Indy this weekend for The Medium.

Raphael Matos of Luczo Dragon Racing set the fastest time at 1:01.4379, followed by Brit Justin Wilson of Dale Coyne Racing. Notable hometown favourite, Paul Tracy did not do as strongly, finishing off the practice session in 13th, at 1:02.3653. Quebeccer Alex Tagliani finished slightly worse then fellow Canuck Tracy in 17th, posting a 1:02.6923.
