Kanaan looking to start season as he started
Kanaan’s Series debut was an unqualified success with a historic LMP2 class win for AGR at Sebring. The discipline of sports car racing was a new deal for Kanaan, the 2004 IndyCar Series champion.
The Brazilian star spoke on the differences between sports car and open-wheel racing to SPEEDtv.com’s Marshall Pruett. Interview
“The differences are big. The cars are totally different," he said. “Do I want paddle-shifting in an Indy car? For sure! And I’m used to 10 buttons on the steering wheel in an Indy car, and I have more than 50 on the Acura. I have a whole book to look through."
Kanaan will look to end the season the same way he started it – with a victory. He’ll drive the AGR Acura with Bryan Herta in the Monterey Sports Car Championships at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
