Laagri should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I've never seen an Indy Lights or Toyota Atlantic race, so I can't really comment. I would just point out one thing though - I don't think you can say that anything is too big a jump these days. Just look at F1 (where the cars are by all accounts more difficult to drive than Champ Cars in that they are less forgiving) - Jenson Button arrived on the scene after just one season in F3 and now there's Kimi Räikkönen who'd previously only had one season in Formula Renault, and both of them have done very well. The talented drivers will make the jump relatively painlessly. And the less talented won't do very well, however long they've been in the feeder series. To draw an F1 parallel again, take Gaston Mazzacane. He had 4 years in F3000, the official feeder series, but what good did it do him?
