Indy Pro Series regular Andersen Racing now has its very own test track, even though it will not be able to use it for its IPS squad.

Team owners Dan and John Andersen purchased the former Group Four Test Track in Palmetto, Florida - which features a one-mile road course - and renamed it Andersen RacePark to reflect the new ownership, but will only be able to run their Star Mazda and F2000 cars there as IPS rules do not permit testing at tracks that are unapproved by that series.

The facility includes an 8000sq ft workshop that will house the Pro Series, Star Mazda and F2000 cars, while two dozen additional garages are also located adjacent to pit-lane, making the facility a popular testing venue for other teams. The track is already a favourite of kart racers and amateurs participating in 'arrive-and-drive' programmes.

as long as you don't schedule any races there, that is, keep it private, they can't keep you from testing...

but I doubt they bought the place so they'd have a test track of their own...
