Although Pato O’Ward and Felix Rosenqvist finished only seventh and eighth in the IndyCar drivers’ championship this year, they finished behind only Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing drivers – in other words, beating all Andretti Autosport entries. According to Arrow McLaren SP modelling, the progress that the team has made is notable, but reliability
Bowman, 29, crashed on lap 97 of the 334-lap 25 September race at Texas Motor Speedway. Although damaged, he continued on and finished the race. A few days later, he announced plans to skip the Cup race at Talladega after experiencing concussion-like symptoms. Bowman, who was already below the cut line before being sidelined, had
Ward, who is a former race engineer to Josef Newgarden at Team Penske, left the squad last winter but due to legal reasons he couldn’t officially start working as Arrow McLaren SP’s director of trackside engineering until July. Now as racing director Ward will lead the technical performance team of Max Neyron (director of operations),
The move to BMW for the Spa and Nurburgring 24 Hours-winning squad has been an open secret since August on the twin announcements of its split with Audi in the GT ranks and its new partnership with the Munich marque in the World Endurance Championship from 2024 with the M Hybrid LMDh prototype.

After a late caution for a stalled car at the end of the pitlane, Blaney led the way with two laps to go and remained in front at the start of the final of the 188 laps. As the field came off Turn 4, Blaney was on the inside with Michael McDowell behind him, while
Daly, who just completed his third consecutive full-time season in IndyCar, will compete in the Cup race on 9 October at the Charlotte Roval – driving the #50 Chevrolet for The Money Team.

The British manufacturer has announced that it will part company with the 36-year-old Belgian after five seasons, which included GTE Pro victory at the 2020 Le Mans driving an Aston Martin Vantage GTE shared with Alex Lynn and Harry Tincknell. Martin followed up on the announcement on Monday afternoon via his Instagram account, but did
“I’m super excited to get going with the team,” said Pedersen, a dual citizen of Denmark and the USA. “I’ve spent a lot of time this season with AJ Foyt Racing learning the ins and outs of making the jump to IndyCar and it’s been really nice to do that in conjunction with my Indy
Byron, frustrated after he felt Denny Hamlin ran him into the outside wall, intentionally hit the back of the #11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota under caution. Hamlin spun as a result and lost several positions. His team called for Byron to be sent to the back of the field, but no action was taken at
Johnson, who joined Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda’s IndyCar team in 2021, competed only on road and street courses during that first season, earning best results of 17th in the final two rounds. However, for 2022, he went full-time in the #48 car and predictably shone on the ovals, taking sixth pace at Texas Motor Speedway. He
Reddick may be eliminated from the playoffs, but that didn’t stop the Richard Childress Racing driver from charging to a third win of the season as he nursed his car home in a race stalled by 16 cautions and a red flag. Numerous tyre failures marred the race, most notably for title contenders Chase Elliott
Former team president Taylor Kiel resigned this week and is expected to take up a similar role at Chip Ganassi Racing once his non-compete clause has expired. However, it’s understood that he will not be directly replaced within the team, which next year expands to three cars, as Alexander Rossi joins incumbents Pato O’Ward and
Kiel’s surprise decision comes after two years as president of a team he first joined almost 15 years ago, when it was still Sam Schmidt Motorsports and was mainly in Indy Lights with annual forays into the Indy 500. As reported on IndyCar.com, Kiel posted on social media: “What a ride it’s been with Arrow
Faustino first worked as Power’s engineer in 2007 at Walker Racing, then running under the Team Australia banner, in Champ Car. The two then crossed the divide to IndyCar with KV Racing in 2008, and then reunited in 2010 as Power joined Penske full-time. Having claimed the 2014 IndyCar title, Power and Faustino had to
The 2023 edition of the Spa GT3 classic, a round of both the GT World Challenge Europe and the Intercontinental GT Challenge, had been announced for 29/30 July on the eve of this year’s event. The scheduling of the Belgian GP on that weekend, confirmed with the publication of the 2023 Formula 1 calendar on
It’s not altogether unusual for drivers to make a single appearance in a series and then disappear off to try their luck elsewhere. But it’s far less common to see a driver make a series of one-off appearances over a number of years, sufficiently talented to be repeatedly asked back, but without it ever leading
The S650 Mustang will underpin a wide-ranging factory-backed motorsport programme that includes NASCAR, Supercars and customer GT racing. While speaking to Australian media during the Mustang launch, Rushbrook was asked if he would like to see Supercars adopt hybrid technology in the future. Ford Performance boss Mark Rushbrook, as part of the global launch of
The 18-time grand prix winner, who started 322 races between 1993 and 2011, struck a late deal to join Scuderia Baldini alongside another former F1 driver, Giancarlo Fisichella at the wheel of a Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo. “It’s just an amazing feeling to be back driving a Ferrari and to be alongside my great friend
Third in the opening one-hour encounter, which was won by AF Corse Ferrari pairing Pierre-Alexandre Jean and Ulysse de Pauw, was enough to secure the crown, while a thrilling final-lap victory on Sunday put the icing well and truly on the cake. Coming into the last Sprint Cup round of the season in Spain, Weerts
Herta, who has scored seven wins in his first four seasons of IndyCar racing and finished third and fifth in the 2020 and ’21 championships, has only 32 of the required 40 points to be granted a superlicence. Thus he would have been relying on the FIA making him a special case in order to
Buescher assumed the lead among the final series of pitstops, which coincided with a caution brought out for then-leader Christopher Bell. After Bell had inherited the lead when Brad Keselowski was forced to pit under green with a flat tyre, sparks began pouring out of the back of his Toyota Camry on Lap 436 and
Herta has been widely tipped for a seat at AlphaTauri next season in the event of Pierre Gasly moving to Alpine, but the seven-time IndyCar race-winner lacks the required superlicence points to make the switch to F1. With the FIA clear it would not change its rules to make an exception for Herta, Red Bull
So Will Power has done it. The fastest IndyCar driver of his generation has nailed his second championship, eight years after his first. The man who scored five wins in 2010, six in 2011 and both times failed to clinch the title, has been victorious in 2022 with just a single win to his name
Had longtime sponsor Mars Inc. and its M&Ms brand decided to continue its NASCAR backing rather than leave the series following this season, the final years of Busch’s Cup Series career would have likely played out as the past 15: driving the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Certainly, there was the likelihood of
Palou found himself in the eye of the storm when it was announced in July that he would be leaving Ganassi for McLaren Racing after the 2022 season. The statement landed shortly after Ganassi had announced it had taken up the 2021 IndyCar champion’s option for another year, triggering a legal tug of war between
The 37-year-old will drive the #8 Chevrolet for team owner Richard Childress beginning in the 2023 season, bringing to an end a fruitful partnership with the JGR Toyota team that began in 2008. “This is probably one of the biggest decisions of my life, my career,” Busch said. “I’m thankful to Joe [Gibbs] for allowing
Palou climbed from 11th on the grid, following an engine change grid penalty to defeat the charging off-strategy Josef Newgarden and 2022 IndyCar champion Will Power, beating them both by over half a minute. “We knew it was going to be a tough race even before coming here this weekend because we tested here, and
The Australian led the first stint of the race on the Firestone alternate tyres, but found his car’s handling was wayward on his first set of primaries, and the wing adjustment he called for at his next stop actually exaggerated the problem. Finally onto fresh primaries in the final stint, he was able to keep
Wallace ran down Alex Bowman to take the lead for the first time in the race on lap 200 of 267 and remained out front after successfully navigating a round of green flag pitstops. With 16 laps to go, Hamlin – who is co-owner of Wallace’s #45 23XI Racing team – got around Christopher Bell
Team Penske driver Power got a clean start from pole but both Alexander Rossi of Andretti Autosport and Pato O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren SP machine – up from sixth – squeezed front-row starter Callum Ilott’s Juncos Hollinger Racing car to the outside at Turn 2 to claim second and third respectively. Further back, Palou had already
