Mike Conway is back on track this weekend as the IndyCar series moves to Toronto for its latest double header.

The races will take place through the streets of Exhibition Place near Lake Ontario and Mike is eager to get back racing, having been back in Europe testing in the last few weeks.

Speaking ahead of the weekend the Long Beach Grand Prix winner said: “I’m definitely getting the frequent flyer miles going with the trips across the Atlantic lately.”

“I have a home in the Phoenix area but I really haven’t seen it too much this year. With travel for the testing of the sports car and Formula E, I’m very pleased to be back in North America for a few weeks.

“To be honest, it’s always good to stay in a race car and get that all-important seat time. I’m anxious to get back to streets of Toronto in an IndyCar. It’s a great event there and the racing is always good and exciting. The fans in Toronto really appreciate the racing in the IndyCar Series.”

Conway’s prowess on the street circuits figures to give the ECR team a boost this weekend in Toronto.

He added: “We had a couple of mishaps at the last doubleheader in Houston but I think we can put together a solid setup for the Fuzzy’s Chevy that will make us very competitive. The Toronto track is tricky and the surface is always pretty bumpy. So it will be a test for all of the teams to get their setups right there. But I’m looking forward to the doubleheader again.”

Conway, always in excellent shape, knows the physicality of the doubleheader on the drivers.

“The doubleheader weekends can be rough on the drivers from both a physical and mental standpoint,” he explains. “The drivers and the teams are used to one race per weekend. But now, everyone has to be prepared to handle 85 laps of racing each day. It is tough mentally for the crews on their pit stops as well as the drivers on the track. People tend to make mistakes on the second day due to fatigue.”
