Belgen in de spotlight: IndyCar Series

Nederlands 28.07.2020 - Dit seizoen wil de Belgische motorsport associatie elke week een seizoensserie waar een Belg in uitkomt in de spotlight zetten. Uiteraard komt ook de desbetreffende Belg aan bod. Voor het eerste stuk gingen we kijken in de serie met de hoogste rating met een Belg aan boord: De IndyCar series waar Tommy Smets voorlopig de 13de plaats bekleed in het klassement.

Tommy kreeg dit seizoen de kans om deel te nemen aan de sterke IndyCar series na twee seizoen in de junior reeks te rijpen, een kans die hij met beide handen greep. "Ik hou van de IndyCar series dus ik wilde zeker tot daar geraken. De tegenstand is erg hoog, maar dat maakt het enkel maar interessanter". Dat de tegenstand sterk is, is misschien zelfs nog een understatement. Gevestigde namen in de IndyCar series zijn Ashley Bell, reeds twee maal zesde in het klassement, Bo Darville, vorig seizoen tweede in het klassement, alsook de winnaar van vorig seizoen Andrea DeCesaris. De Italiaan zal zeker zijn titel willen verlengen maar krijgt ook concurrentie van Paul Wigzey. De Brit die momenteel het klassement aanvoert heeft zes seizoenen in de moto 1 achter de rug. Hij lijkt geen aanpassingsperiode nodig te hebben, in tegenstelling tot de Braziliaan Reckziegel die momenteel de vierde plek in het klassement bekleed. De grote naam uit de World GT zal een remonte moeten inzetten wil hij de eindzege nog behalen. Tommy zelf tipt momenteel echter de Italiaan Nannini, die een knappe tweede plaats in het klassement bekleed. Het is momenteel nog koffiedik kijken wie er na 17 wedstrijden bovenaan zal staan. Spanning troef dus!

Over zijn eigen ambitie is Tommy duidelijk. "Ik zal al blij zijn met enkele top-10 plaatsen dit seizoen", iets wat alvast meteen in zijn eerste poging in St. Petersburg gelukt is. Ook in de andere wedstrijden zit hij steeds dicht tegen de top 10 en in de qualifier van de circuit of the Americas wist hij zelfs de zesde startplek te claimen. Door een probleem met de transmissie moest hij echter halverwege de wedstrijd de strijd staken. Hierdoor nestelt hij zich momenteel tussen de Amerikaan Blake en de Tsjech Brabec III op de 13de plaats. Zeker niet slecht als je in het achterhoofd houdt dat beide heren reeds ervaring in de IndyCar hebben. Tommy hoopt in ieder geval om Brabec, die hij als naaste belager ziet, helemaal op het einde de loef af te steken.

Over zijn verdere toekomst is Tommy eerder vaag. "Ik heb niet nagedacht over waar mijn toekomst verder ligt. Mijn doel was de IndyCar series halen en dat is gelukt. Volgend seizoen wil ik zien waar ik sta en ondertussen blijven we trainen." Of Tommy in de IndyCar wil blijven tot zijn racepensioen is nog maar de vraag. "Over het algemeen blijf ik nooit langer dan 2 seizoenen in dezelfde series, dus wie weet verander ik nog wel. Uiteindelijk heb ik ook wat mee gesleuteld aan sommige kalenders, het zou misschien leuk zijn om daar nog eentje van mee te pikken in de toekomst."

We zijn in ieder geval blij dat we dit seizoen een Belg mogen aanschouwen in één van de belangrijkste series. Tommy doet dan misschien niet mee voor de prijzen, hij zorgt er wel voor dat we elke wedstrijd gespannen voor de tv zitten. Laten we hopen dat hij zichzelf en ons dit seizoen nog flink mag verbazen!
