    New season, new engineer, new attitude

    New season, new engineer, new attitude


    That's Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin in a nutshell heading into the opening IndyCar round in Florida.

    The former Supercars champ set the-quickest time in the opening practice session ahead of Monday's 180-mile street race in St Petersburg.

    McLaughlin is sure his new engineering partnership with Raul Prados will be effective in a re-jigged Chevrolet.
