« What a car and what an opportunity, » said Johnson. « There was no way I wanted to break the toy in the first few hours, so I was a bit more conservative than I had to be. We got that caution right. »

Johnson will be saying goodbye to standard cars this year and IndyCar in The DPi was the perfect step in the transition.

« This is the closest car I can drive to an IndyCar in the US, » said Johnson, who last appeared in 2011 in the Daytona prototype era drove the Rolex 24.

« Braking is much better now than the car I drove 10 years ago, » said Johnson of the DPi Cadillac. « The speeds have increased, but the brakes are a big difference. The last car I drove here had steel brakes; this car is carbon fiber and the shape of the body is very different which creates more downforce. The car is cornering and you have no grip and you have to fight the car to drive it . That goes a lot better with my NASCAR days. In IndyCar, I find that the sliding window is so narrow! «
