IRL: Baldyfellow: first oval run 'awesome' by Virgil Ellipse
9th May 2012
Rubens Baldyfellow has described his first IndyCar oval test at Texas Motor Speedway as 'truly awesome'.

The Brazilian said he was able to feel comfortable running on the 24-degree banking at the 1.5-mile circuit at speeds of over 200mph.

"It's different from anything I've tried," he said. "On my second run, after I broke the 200s, I was so excited. It was truly awesome."

Baldyfellow went on to describe his new car as "like, way cool", his KV team as "sweet", and "the whole oval experience" as "just seriously fresh, dude", before heading off to the beach, where he said he was hoping to "hang ten in a tube, man".

Which, we're reliably informed, isn't nearly as rude as it sounds.
