Cassidy, fresh off a runner-up finish for Envision Racing in last weekend’s Formula E round, tested the Ganassi-Honda of 2021 IndyCar champion Alex Palou at Sebring on Tuesday. Driving the sole Honda-powered car in action in the eight-car test, the 28-year-old New Zealander turned 156 laps of the 1.7-mile short course, and finished the day 0.636sec off top spot but within 0.4sec of the second place car.
Cassidy, who spent four seasons in Super Formula, winning the championship in 2019, admitted it took a couple of hours to adapt back to powerful open-wheel cars, but that by the afternoon he was able to give his best.
