Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button will make their COTA cup race debut. Austin Cindric had an interesting comment on them since he emphasized that "they have to get out of their comfort zone". “I’d love for it to be a gateway or catalyst to see guys of that caliber – they’re not just guys who come and do road courses, but they’re champions and world champions and were, or are, the best at what they do – coming and joining our racing,” Cindric said.
“I hope it’s a catalyst or gateway for them joining us on not just road courses, but oval racing as well. I mean, it’s so different, but I feel it challenges you in so many different ways. I’m looking forward to one of those guys getting the opportunity to go outside of their comfort zone and do just that.
I know how big of a difference and culture shift it was for me. So yeah, I hope it’s a gateway for that,”
Austin Cindric talks about the Oval
The oval can represent a great challenge even for those more experienced drivers, and especially for those who are just starting their adventure.
Cindric thinks it's interesting to see others succeed in such challenges, given that he was in the same position. "It’s (a) wacky way of doing things probably in comparison to what they’re used to. It’s a lot of fun and fun to see the growth of someone who’s trying this for the first time.
I’ve been in this sport for what I would consider a limited amount of time, and the things that were new to me and strange to me are probably strange, new, or different for someone else. It’s fun to see what those different, strange, awkward moments are for other people as they try to learn,”.
