IndyCar released footage of Scott Dixon's test yesterday of the series' prototype aerosceen device, a run which took place at Phoenix's one-mile oval.

The Chip Ganassi driver and four-time IndyCar champion put in some laps during the day but also sampled the canopy's visibility under the floodlights.

Dixon gave an early thumbs up to the component which, based on the video, appears to offer a crystal clear view of things.
