The NTT IndyCar Series is attempting a new format for this weekend’s exhibition round from the Thermal Club, and Saturday evening was reserved for two separate short qualifying sessions.

The first eight-minute round saw Felix Rosenqvist set the fastest time, blasting his Meyer Shank Racing Honda around the winding course faster than Scott McLaughlin, Rinus VeeKay, and the rest of the drivers in group one.

Group two was headed up by Alex Palou, while Marcus Ericsson lost control and put his Andretti Global Honda hard into the tire barriers.
