Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
Dreyer & Reinbold Racing is a team of the IndyCar Series.
The team founded in 2000, belongs to the former driver Robby Buhl and Dennis Reinbold car dealer. The team never belonged to the absolute top of the series, the only race victory achieved Robby Buhl itself already in the very first race. His teammates in the beginning changed, by repeated Sarah Fisher, who has since founded his own team. Before the 2006 season the team was even verge of closing due to lack of sponsorship funds.
In the 2008 season, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing put one hand on the former Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Rice and the other hand on Townsend Bell and Milka Duno took turns in a second car. Indeed the benefits of the Venezuelan Amazone race did not convince often, they could not enter Top 10 score on their ten inserts. Bell, however, managed this three times even though he only played seven races. For the 2009 season, Mike Conway was hired as a full-time pilot, which could realize a surprising third place in the race in Sonoma. Two other vehicles were in this season piloted by various drivers, the cars were not used throughout the season.
The following two years were respectively overshadowed by serious accidents DRR drivers. Justin Wilson joined his compatriot Conway 2010 season as a full-time pilot to where Conway on the penultimate lap of the Indianapolis 500 crashed hard and turned out for the rest of the season. He was replaced by various drivers, two other cars put the team again in a single race. In the following season, it caught then Wilson, who in training at Mid-Ohio had an accident and also had to sit the rest of the season. The second driver for the 2011 season continued on DRR Ana Beatriz, which had to be replaced due to injury for a race as well, but his driving and was not convinced in the other races. Thus, no driver of the team landed this season in the top 20 of the final statement.
The 2012 season marked a break with the IndyCars. With a new unit chassis as well as the entry of Chevrolet and Lotus as engine manufacturer, the series was more technically put on a new basis. Dreyer & Reinbold continued early in the season to Lotus as engine supplier for the only used chassis, which drove the Spaniard Oriol Servia. But the engine is proof from the first race of the season as far inferior as opposed to competition from Honda and Chevrolet. How many other teams also switched DRR the supplier before the highlight of the season in Indianapolis for there not to be a chance. The team formed a strategic partnership with Panther Racing, which already had since start of the season on a second engine contract with Chevrolet, this did not use it. The which has resulted partnership continues to this day. With the new engine in the rear Servia could drive to fourth place and retract three other top 5 finishes in the course of the rest of the season at the Indy 500.
