Last month saw the 2021 season kick off in the clockwise direction for the first time in a few years, and drivers were greeted with very windy conditions that made pit strategy -and having a drafting partner- paramount.
In the end it would be Michael Hazlewood coming out on top, while pole sitter for the series’ lone qualy session of the year, Andres Prieto claimed second, holding off Alyssa Yauney who settled for 3rd.
For round #2 the IronMan Series returns to the Grande clockwise layout, last used for round #3 back in 2019. Like Nuotivo from the opener, Grande is a fast course, and having a drafting partner is important. That said, while wind is not in the forecast, it is still the longest course on the schedule with the longest straights and most drafting opportunity.
Before we get into the entry list and starting order, we’ll take a closer look at the Grande layout, and cap things off with a look at our current top ten in the standings, as well as a wildcard driver that could make some noise from the back…
So, without further adieu, let’s jump right into it…
