Elliott grabbed the lead for the time on a restart with eight of the scheduled 267 laps remaining, after Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wrecked off Turn 2 to bring out the 12th caution of the race, and fended off Denny Hamlin on a restart with two laps to go. Kyle Larson then hit the wall at
It was roughly 11 months ago when Rahal was left sitting on the right sidepod of his No. 15 RLL Honda with his head in his hands and overcome with emotion after failing to qualify for the Indy 500. Rahal was able to start the race after being called up by Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
Although six hours of testing was expected to resume at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday at 10am local time, IndyCar already called off any activities after lingering showers and an unpromising forecast have forced an early end to the two-day event.

Prema Racing became the latest team to declare a full-time commitment to North America’s premier open-wheel championship on Tuesday, with a two-car entry for 2025.

Ilott, who made 36 starts in North America’s premier open-wheel championship for Juncos Hollinger Racing from 2021-23, has substituted for Malukas, who continues to recover from surgery to his left wrist after an injury sustained when mountain biking pre-season, since the start of the IndyCar Series season.

Its expansion into North America’s premier open-wheel championship is a notable move for one of the most successful junior formula programmes in history, which has 80 titles and counting over its 40 years in operation. Prema’s new IndyCar operation, which follows Carlin’s short-lived effort in the series, will see the Italian team enter the Indianapolis 500 for
Formula 2 launched its all-new 2024 machinery late last year and, while the visually striking aerodynamic changes dominated the headlines, it was all change under the bodywork too.

Supercars champion Kostecki has been absent from the grid so far this season, but announced on Monday that he will return to action with Erebus in Taupo.

Wickens – who suffered a serious spinal cord injury in an IndyCar crash at Pocono in 2018 that left him paraplegic – was making his debut in the series, sharing a Target SRL-entered Hyundai Elantra N with his fellow Canadian co-driver Mark Wilkins.

If you’ve got an exciting new technology you’d like to see used throughout the varied world of sportscar racing, there are two organisations you need to be working with. The first of these, of course, is the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the body behind the Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Endurance Championship
While the organisation remains the youngest team in North America’s premier open-wheel championship, the ascension further up the grid is made even more impressive considering the lack of any technical alliance with the series’ powerhouse outfits. Some may immediately point to JHR’s affiliation with Arrow McLaren since last October, but that is strictly a strategic
In July of last year, Audi announced that it would effectively end its involvement in customer racing as part of a wider restructuring of its motorsport division.

Truex Jr had looks comfortable what had been a very uneventful race – leading 228 of the 407 laps – until Kyle Larson got spun off by Bubba Wallace with one lap remaining which sent the race into overtime. All of the lead lap cars elected to pit for new tyres under the caution and
The challenging 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit saw the bow-tie brand put together a 1-2-3-4 sweep, led by Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden, who led 92 of 100 laps from pole to seize the victory.

Was this really the best North America’s premier open-wheel championship could do? And at what cost? When the $1 Million Challenge was revealed by IndyCar roughly six months ago in a made-for-TV spectacle at a club track outside of Palm Springs, California, it came with unpleasant realities: the need to fill an extended void of
“It’s going to be tough,” states Jonny Adam. “With 19 cars in GT3, good line-ups, the quality I think has gone up another level from last year. And there’s good returning teams that know their baseline of where they should be.” With Darren Leung, one half of Century Motorsport’s 2023 victorious pairing, switching to the
Last weekend’s non-points exhibition at the 3.067-mile, 17-turn circuit featured nine hours of testing ahead of qualifying to set the field for two heat races, with the top six advancing into a 20-lap, two-segment main event.

McLaughlin was the main challenger to Alex Palou in the non-championship event’s 20-lap final, which was split into two segments, but couldn’t usurp the Chip Ganassi Racing driver who had previously topped his qualifying group and won his heat race.
