(Eclipse) -- Arrows will be arriving at the Indianapolis circuit on Thursday, knowing they are already at a disadvantage after not been able to test their cars last week, following Pedro de la Rosa’s terrifying crash at Monza.

However, the Spaniard was still optimistic that come race day most teams will be on a level playing field:

“It's is a new circuit for everyone so we're all starting at the same level, which means no teams have any advantage over another,” he said. “It will be my first experience of taking a corner with banking which will very interesting, especially in an F1 car.”

However, the Arrows driver admitted he was feeling slightly apprehensive as the race draws nearer, as he still needs to learn the track.

Although one thing he will definitely be hoping for is to keep his Supertec powered V10 planted on terra firmer:

“It's my first race in the States and it's good that F1 is going back there. I need to improve my knowledge of the circuit layout, but from what I have heard, the straight is very fast and I hope the infield isn't too slow. I hope Indianapolis is better for me than Monza.”
