O’Ward topped the 75-minute session around the 2.258-mile road course with a best lap of 1m06.4935s, ahead of points leader Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing). Josef Newgarden set the early pace with a lap of 1m07.3573s in his Chevrolet-powered Team Penske entry, but was then shaded by Arrow McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist at 1m07.3249s and Will

Kanaan, who has claimed the 2004 IndyCar title and has 17 IndyCar Series wins to his name since joining America’s premier open-wheel class in 1998, hung up his helmet after racing a fourth car for McLaren in this year’s 107th running of the Indy 500. His new role is to provide guidance and strategy for on-track

Ganassi heads into this weekend’s halfway IndyCar round at Mid-Ohio holding a 1-2 in points with Palou leading Ericsson by a whopping 74 points. Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden is the best non-Ganassi driver, a further seven points behind. Palou has already equalled his win tally from his title year with CGR in 2021. Meanwhile Ericsson,

After finishing runner-up to Mick Schumacher in the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship, Callum Ilott made his IndyCar debut in 2021 with Juncos Hollinger Racing at Portland. At the time, he was a test driver with the Ferrari Driver Academy and was Alfa Romeo’s second reserve driver in Formula 1, sharing the role with Robert Kubica.

Rossi first spoke out about the topic after he felt was ‘jumped’ on a number of restarts at the Indy 500 in May. Then a video tweeted by IndyCar’s social media team showing Jack Harvey’s start at Road America last weekend, from his nose-mounted camera, sparked Rossi to criticise the way starts and restarts are

Palou scored his third win of the season at Road America on Sunday, extending his lead to 74 points over his team-mate Marcus Ericsson. In securing his team’s 250th race victory, the 2021 champion is now 81 points clear of best non-Ganassi driver Newgarden. But the Indianapolis 500 winner, who finished second on Sunday, shrugged off the deficit as

Palou had a healthy 5s lead over Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden going on to the final lap but came across Armstrong on the approach to The Kink – one of the fastest and most fearsome corners in American motorsports. Armstrong – who previously tumbled down the order due to a strategy error – had gone

Dixon finished just two-tenths of a second behind Arrow McLaren’s O’Ward, who punted him out of the Long Beach Grand Prix in April. The six-time champion was livid with the move, which O’Ward was unrepentant over, and declared: “If that’s how the series wants us to race, then I guess it’s all gloves off from

Chip Ganassi Racing’s Palou was running second to Andretti Autosport’s Colton Herta when he ran wide at Turn 5 just before half distance, allowing Team Penske’s Newgarden to get a run on him into the uphill left-hander at Turn 6. As they arrived in the braking zone, Indy 500 winner Newgarden squeezed him at the

Poleman Herta led for 33 of the 55 laps and held a 1.2s lead over Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou at the start of the final stint. But the fact he pitted a lap earlier than the majority of his rivals at the four-mile track meant he had to drive his car to a higher

Andretti Autosport’s Herta made his final pitstop a lap sooner than Palou and paid the penalty in the closing stages, as he was forced to lower his pace and tumbled back to finish fifth. Josef Newgarden (Team Penske) finished second, ahead of a closely matched Pato O’Ward (Arrow McLaren) and Scott Dixon (Ganassi). Poleman Herta

Power’s car had to be rebuilt after a bizarre crash in Saturday morning’s practice session with six-time champion Scott Dixon, who didn’t see the Australian coming after he’d spun and allowed Grosjean to pass. Dixon then immediately drove into Power’s path, wrecking both cars, which led to a physical altercation when Power shoved his shoulder

On the recently-repaved 4.048-mile road course, Dario Franchitti’s qualifying track record of 1m39.866s remained out of reach despite the new high-grip surface. The Fast Six shootout was an intriguing battle, with most cars running the harder primary tyres but Arrow McLaren’s practice pacesetter Alexander Rossi gambled on the softer alternates. O’Ward set the early pace

Dixon spun his Chip Ganassi Racing car on the exit of Canada Corner and let Andretti Autosport’s Romain Grosjean past him as he got back up to racing speed. But Dixon then suddenly swerved left into the path of Team Penske’s Will Power, who was on a hot lap. The pair collided, smashing the left-front

Rossi topped the 45-minute session around the fabled 4.048-mile road course with a best lap of 1m41.9112s. While the track is much faster on the racing line, thanks to the track’s first full repave since 1995 that took place last October and November, there’s a huge grip disparity off-line which has been catching out the

Rossi topped the 75-minute session around the fabled 4.048-mile road course with a best lap of 1m41.779s, with times massively faster than last year’s pace thanks to the track’s first full resurface which took place last October and November, since 1995. It also meant that tyre squeal from the natural understeer characteristics of the Dallaras

Ryan Hunter-Reay “was not pursuing” an IndyCar Series return until Ed Carpenter called him last week, but the man they call ‘Captain America’ is ready to grasp this fresh opportunity. It’s the latest twist of a rollercoaster career that’s seen Hunter-Reay reach the peaks of a championship title in 2012 and win the Indianapolis 500

Wayne Taylor Racing joined forces with his father Michael’s Andretti Autosport team this year to bolster its technical strength to run the complex ORECA-chassised, HPD-powered ARX-06 hybrid machine. Following the most recent round at Laguna Seca, WTR confirmed it will run a second entry in the series for 2024, and that it had re-signed Filipe Albuquerque

Hunter-Reay, 42, will drive the #20 ECR-Chevrolet entry in place of Daly, who lost his ride after the first seven races of 2023 as the team sought a change of direction and improved results. Hunter-Reay’s only IndyCar start in the past two seasons was at May’s Indianapolis 500, where he finished 11th in a one-off
