The St. Petersburg GP Media Day was held at the Andersen RacePark karting facility off U.S. 41 Wednesday and included appearances by dignitaries and several drivers, including IndyCar Series stars Justin Wilson and Alex Tagliani.

It was capped by a go-kart race in which teams from media outlets were assigned a professional or semi-pro driver. The AutoRacing1.com team was paired with Alex Tagliani.
