The official Twitter profile of the former Formula 1 racer has confirmed that the event will take place on July 21 at 10 a.m. at Sainte Reparate Cathedral. In honor of his teammate from the 2013/2014 season, Max Chilton dedicated his best starting position in Indy Lights, which he achieved this weekend. "I dedicate this to Bianchi. It wasn't easy and I'm sure he would beat me if he was here. I always did my best, but Bianchi was one of those who was destined for great things," Chilton said.
