The team grew by 40% over the last off-season, with several additions to personnel that included former Andretti Autosport driver Alexander Rossi in a newly-added third car. While the new hires helped grow the numbers to fill roles, many came in without previous experience in IndyCar. Despite that, though, all three full-time entries delivered a respectable

Three wins in IMSA’s GTP class with Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura was a strong return, but a repeat of Tom Blomqvist’s 2022 DPi title success with new team-mate Colin Braun was denied by a 200-point deduction for the tyre data manipulation that tainted the team’s Daytona 24 Hours triumph. Even then, the only crew to

The New Zealander took another step toward growing into a regular threat in 2023 after a career-best third in the IndyCar title race.

It was a campaign of feast or famine for Team Penske’s Tennessee native. There were four wins – all on ovals and second-most overall to champion Alex Palou – but there were also five results of 15th or worse, including three of 21st or lower. But what made the year a success was Newgarden’s memorable

Beyond Max Verstappen, few drivers in 2023 could claim to be more dominant in their respective series than Palou. The Spaniard’s totals of five wins, a further five podiums and a full-house of top-10 finishes from the 17 races delivered a beatdown to the field and allowed him to lock up the championship a round

The 32-year-old Tennessee native, the 75th individual winner of IndyCar’s crown jewel race, was the centrepiece of the event held at the Stutz Building in Indianapolis.

Foyt and will drive the #41 Chevrolet-powered entry for his sophomore campaign in North America’s premier open-wheel championship. “I’m truly honoured to pilot the #41 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet for the 2024 season,” said Robb. “This is a dream come true

When Chadwick, a three-time W-Series champion, was announced last December for a maiden campaign in Indy NXT with Andretti Global (then Andretti Autosport), DHL came on board as the primary sponsor to support the effort.

Speaking in a press conference after Chip Ganassi Racing lured global logistics giant DHL away from Michael Andretti’s squad to become Palou’s primary sponsor in a multi-year agreement, the veteran team owner shrugged off the impact of McLaren’s claim for $23 million damages against his driver for breach of contract.

Its high-profile alliance with the

When Jean Alesi entered Formula 1 in the middle of 1989 with Tyrrell, he sought three-time world champion Nelson Piquet’s counsel over what he needed to do to look more professional, so he’d fit in with the F1 paddock. “Get a briefcase,” was Piquet’s sage advice, to which Jean replied: “But I don’t have anything

The new-for-2024 power unit remains equipped with the current 2.2-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, but will be upgraded with hybrid components that will provide up to an additional 150 horsepower when deployed.
