He had an up and down year but deserves the title.

What is unfortunate is that he is losing his seat at Ganassi it seems in favor of Simpson.

He did great last season, real shot for a podium. It is too early to come up with a full list of "extra" cars for Indy, but i'd imagine we will be in the 34-35 car range again.

NaBUru38 · 11 Sep 2024, 14:27 (Ref:4226131)

Kyle Larson is the ultimate barnstorming driver.

**Adam43** · 12 Sep 2024, 01:41 (Ref:4226189)

Brilliant. I was hoping it could happen again. Not least so we can get all giddy again.

While the driver's title is still up for grabs, Chevrolet have won the Manufacturer's title for the third consecutive year.

Malukas and Ferrucci for AJ next season

No surprise to see Ferrucci get that seat, it seems this is the only series he can get a drive. No one else will take him

Don't think he actually wants to.do nythimg else though does he?

I guess the odd INSA drive might appeal.

Elsewhere, it seens Ilott is being mentioned in connection with one of the Prema drives again as he ism't going to part of the JOTA Cadillac endurance squad next year.

Illot would be a solid choice, and off topic but did Jota announce drivers already?

S griffin · 13 Sep 2024, 21:13 (Ref:4226421)

Not sure Illott would want it, quick as he is in Indycar. He’s busy with other series atm

Ferrucci is an Indy guy, he excels at ovals especially. Think he's trying to develop and grow to end up with a big team in the future.

They haven't officially but he's not on the list in the article on S365. Looking like Bamber, Lynn, Bourdais, Stevens and Nato are set to join or stay with Jota and Button slated to be the final piece according to Dagys

broadrun96 · 13 Sep 2024, 23:53 (Ref:4226436)

Sorry, forgot to paste

"Callum Ilott, who partners Stevens and Nato in the No. 12 Porsche, has been heavily linked to a move to the NTT IndyCar Series with Prema Racing."

From the same S365 article

Why?

Callum Ilott confirmed at Prema Racing

Because of BMO Field in Toronto being used as a venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it may be difficult to have an IndyCar race at Exhibition Place in 2026. The matches there are scheduled to happen from June 12 to July 2 so presumably the race could happen as usual later in July.

The potential problem could arise with how much the World Cup will limit anything else from happening in the vicinity of the stadium. In recent years the track building for the race has started in early June, with CFL and MLS matches continuing to occur at the stadium while the concrete barriers, fences, trackside suites, and grandstands are being constructed, but the thinking seems to be that this might not be the case in 2026 during the World Cup.

Also, if the CFL and MLS teams are both prevented from using the stadium for a month, it may be problematic to almost immediately prevent them from using it again for yet another weekend in July. Other circumstances and events at the site almost certainly eliminate the possibility of the race being there in any month outside of July.

I couldn't tell if it was someone who left for the 24 season or someone who started there late or after the season and Andretti knew he took things with him. Quick turn around if end of the season but if they knew a system was accessed Monday they may have gotten emergency action due to system access from another location if they moved data with their new job. If someone left earlier and accessed over the summer maybe they could track the outside access. Internet is great until you want a sealed system

Armstrong fills out the MSR stable in the 66

https://racer.com/2024/09/19/armstro...hank-for-2025/

Foyt moves all operations to Indy, not everyone moving so team changes coming but probably easier to bring in new talent in Indy
