IndyCar's Long-Awaited Charter System Finally Launches

The long-awaited IndyCar charter system has been established and confirmed, with 10 teams accepting the terms of the charter.

The latest, approved system will enable immediate recording of 25 races in North America's premier auto racing series.

“This is an important development that demonstrates a coherent and optimistic vision for the future of our sport,” said Mark Miles, CEO and president of Penske Entertainment, a subsidiary of Penske Corp., owner of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IMS Productions and the IndyCar Series.

“I want to express my sincere appreciation to our team of owners for their cooperation and ideas throughout the process. Ultimately, we are happy to have a system that provides greater value to our owners and the tickets they submit.”

This is the primary charter system introduced within the history of the IndyCar Series era. While a charter entry guarantees a guaranteed starting position on the grid for all IndyCar races, the one exception is the Indianapolis 500, where qualifying for the 33-car field based on merit stays a convention.

Entries must even be registered to qualify for the annual Leaders Circle program, an annual awards program that recognizes the highest 22 finishers within the previous yr’s championship standings.

The terms of the initial long-term charter agreements are valid until the top of 2031.

“I appreciate the efforts of the IndyCar and Penske leadership groups, as well as all of the owners, to get this charter system off the ground,” said Larry Foyt, president of AJ Foyt Racing.

“It’s incredibly difficult to get a large group of owners to agree on something, and there have certainly been some concessions, but ultimately I think this is a path that works for all the owners and for IndyCar while still allowing for open competition.”

Team owner Chip Ganassi shared similarly positive sentiments: “When you look back at the modern era of IndyCar racing, there are a few defining moments. The first is the unification of the sport, the second is Roger Penske purchasing the IndyCar Series and IMS, and the third, I truly believe, is the charter system.”

Valentino Rossi confirmed for WEC rookie test in BMW LMDh

MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will take to the wheel of a BMW LMDh prototype for the primary time throughout the Endurance World Championship rookie test in Bahrain.

Rossi can have the chance to check the BMW M Hybrid V8 on the Bahrain International Circuit on November 3, the day after the top of the 2024 WEC season within the Gulf country.

The German manufacturer first revealed plans to provide the Italian a likelihood behind the wheel of a prototype when he joined the works squad at the beginning of the 2023 season.

The original schedule was for Rossi to drive a Dallara LMP2 race automotive at the top of last yr, but BMW has pushed back the planned begin to 2024.

In an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com on the sidelines of the GT World Challenge Europe in Monza, Rossi himself confirmed that in only over a month he’ll finally have the chance to drive a BMW LMDh.

“I will be trying out the BMW LMDh in the rookie test and I am very, very happy because last year I had the opportunity to drive an LMP2, so my next goal is to see how the M Hybrid V8 performs,” he said.

“And then who knows, maybe there will be a place in Hypercar in the future. We'll see.”

During last weekend’s penultimate round of the WEC at Fuji, BMW Motorsport boss Andreas Roos suggested that Rossi can be behind the wheel of an LMDh automotive within the rookie test in Bahrain.

He said: “It might be a surprise, perhaps! We'll see. He will certainly get a test this yr.

“We said from the start that Valentino can be within the automotive and we made it clear in the beginning that it wouldn’t be at the beginning of the season because then we’d have good enough to do to get things so as and it was clear that our focus was to get all the pieces ready.

“But this year it will be in the car.”

Manufacturers recurrently use the standard Bahrain test to evaluate and reward newcomers, including drivers higher known for his or her exploits in other disciplines.

Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso first drove a Toyota TS050 LMP1 in Bahrain in 2017, ahead of the beginning of the 2018/19 Super Season.

At the top of the 2021 season, the Japanese brand seated its World Rally Championship star Sebastien Ogier in the brand new LMH automotive within the Gulf country.

Rossi, a seven-time MotoGP champion, accomplished his first laps in a prototype in Bahrain last yr, driving WRT’s Oreca 07 LMP2.

This yr he took part within the WEC Championship in a BMW M4 GT3 entered by WRT in the brand new LMGT3 division.

The 45-year-old’s statements on Friday at Monza indicate that he still dreams of racing in the highest class of the WEC or IMSA SportsCar Championship on the wheel of a BMW M Hybrid V8.

PlayStation 5 Pro update for Gran Turismo 7 made its public debut at Tokyo Games Show 6

Just days after revealing the console and game update, PlayStation has announced plans to launch Gran Turismo 7The PlayStation 5 Pro version might be available for public trial on the Tokyo Games Show later this month.

GT7 might be certainly one of the primary titles to receive a special “PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced” patch, which is able to allow it to reap the benefits of the console’s recent graphical capabilities when it launches on November 7. The game will receive several visual improvements that may improve its already impressive visuals.

These include real-time ray-tracing effects on the track that may cause vehicles to bounce off their glossier surfaces, providing greater immersion. After initially showing up on YouTube earlier this month, Digital Foundry analyzed the higher-quality ProRes footage and located that these reflections are near HD quality — 1080p.

While the sport's native resolution drops as a consequence of the expensive nature of RT, that's made up for by a brand new AI upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR. Additionally, each DF and CNET have reported the existence of an 8K version Gran Turismo 7 works on PS5 Pro.

The query stays which of those might be the version available to the general public at TGS, which might be held on the Makuhari Messe (Japan Convention Center) in Chiba City, near Tokyo. However, just one booth is working and it would be available on the general public days of Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29.

We don't know yet when the free PS5 Pro Enhanced update might be available Gran Turismo 7 might be made available, but bearing in mind the console release date and the standard rhythm GT7The updates will likely arrive on or around Thursday, October twenty fourth. Any September updates have yet to be announced — although there was no content update in August — but that may likely be too far-off from the Pro launch for an enhanced update to make sense.

Interestingly, TGS coincides with the ultimate live round of the Gran Turismo World Series, on the Kabukicho Tower in Tokyo, 20 miles west-northwest. While that event can be open to the general public — and to a sold-out crowd — there’s no sign it’s tied to the launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro.

However, we expect to listen to more about “My first Gran Turismo” on the event on Saturday, September 28, but anyway, stay tuned to this space for more details.

Norris 'didn't necessarily overdo it' despite touching partitions at Singapore Grand Prix

Lando Norris has suggested he “didn’t necessarily overdo it” after avoiding the wall twice with none damage during a dominant Singapore Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver pulled off a decisive manoeuvre to beat Formula 1 Championship rival Max Verstappen by greater than 20 seconds across the Marina Bay Circuit, and took the lead for the primary time in his profession at the tip of the primary lap from pole position.

However, through the race, after locking his front wing and heading straight into Turn 14, he hit the barrier on the exit after which almost repeated the incident that forced George Russell to retire from last yr's race on the entry to Turn 10 towards the tip of the race.

Norris ran wide to overtake Williams driver Franco Colapinto within the closing stages of the race, but had a big margin for error on the 16/17 chicane.

“It was an incredible race – a few too many close calls,” Norris said. “I had just a few little moments in the center, but I believed every part was well-controlled.

“The car was mega, so I could push. We were flying the whole race, and at the end I could just relax. So it was cool. It's still tough. I'm a little out of breath, but it was a lot of fun.”

Asked if he needed to push himself so hard that he made mistakes, given his dominance on the pitch, Norris replied: “It’s not that you just necessarily overdo it, sometimes you may just loosen up a bit of bit.

“Maybe a little bit of this and that. I don't know what it is, it's difficult. It was still difficult, easy to lock up the tires, like I did. So I kept pushing, I didn't want to have one second advantage, I wanted to have as big an advantage as possible.”

On the problem of the race – the primary Singapore GP and not using a safety automotive – given the new and humid conditions, he explained: “It was similar to Qatar last year, but I wasn't really taking it easy. I could have gone a lot slower, so I was a bit dazed at the moment.”

The result means Norris has once more closed in on Verstappen within the points standings and when asked in regards to the closing gap, the three-time world champion stressed: “That could change in a short time.

“So we just have to keep trying, at some point try to turn it around a little bit, not always ending up behind, but we'll see how it goes.”

Daniel Suarez saves play-off hopes despite Bristol's dismal performance

daniel suarez trackhouse racin

Daniel Suarez began thirty fifth at Bristol and made little progress as he battled with a disabled #99 Chevrolet. He fell behind the front early on and spent a lot of the race outside the highest 30. He was 4 laps down when the checkered flag got here, but still had something to smile about as he advanced to Round 12 with a 12-point lead.

“It was a struggle,” said Suarez. “Since yesterday, when we unloaded the car for the first practice session, we just didn’t have the speed. As you know, with the short period of practice, qualifying and the race, if you don’t have the speed on the trailer, it’s very, very difficult to get it back. We improved, but it wasn’t good enough. We were running 30th, 28th, 32nd all night long, and that was what we had.”

How did he manage to advance after such a dismal performance? Well, he relied heavily on the 36-point lead he had built up before Bristol with a second-place finish in Atlanta and an honest showing at Watkins Glen. But more importantly, Martin Truex Jr.’s bad luck made things easier for him once more within the closing laps as he managed to maintain Ty Gibbs at bay.

Stopping Gibbs

“You know, I can only control so much,” Suarez continued. “I can only control what the 99 automotive can do, and every thing else is out of my control. At one point, I felt bad concerning the 54 automotive [Gibbs] because I needed to hold him back a bit bit and he got passed, but I needed to do it. I wasn't fast enough to get away from him, so I needed to play games to have the option to influence him as much as possible in a clean way.”

The strategy worked as Gibbs closed to inside 4 points of Suarez before burning out his tyres in a futile try and pass him. Gibbs lost several positions in the ultimate laps and dropped to fifteenth in the ultimate starting order.

Suarez can breathe a sigh of relief, but just for a moment. With the points resetting once more in Round 12, he’s now within the elimination zone at the beginning of the following three-race stretch, six points behind. Luckily for him, the opening rounds are a mirror image with one other draft track (Talladega) and a road course (Charlotte Rova). Both of Suarez’s Cup wins got here at such tracks — Atlanta and Sonoma.

2022 Formula 2 champion Drugovich tests with Ganassi later this month

Felipe Drugovich may have the chance to drive an IndyCar Series machine as a part of the Chip Ganassi Racing driver qualifying test at Barber Motorsports Park.

The 2022 Formula 2 champion, Drugovich is currently a test and reserve driver for the Aston Martin Formula 1 team. This 12 months he has also competed within the European Le Mans Series, in addition to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jack Aitken and Pipo Derani in a Cadillac V-Series.R prepared by Action Express.

The 24-year-old Brazilian’s testing will happen on the two.3-mile, 17-turn natural terrain road course, which will probably be held on September 30, the identical day Jamie Chadwick will probably be on target in an Andretti Global IndyCar.

Chip Ganassi Racing Managing Director Mike Hull confirmed in an interview with Motorsport.com that the chance to check Drugovich was attributable to quite a lot of aspects, including a desire to make up for the chance lost last 12 months.

“I think first and foremost because of his Formula 2 experience,” said Hull.

“He's got the opportunity… This car has 625 horsepower, the tires are similar, the power-to-weight ratio is similar. It's a good assessment of him as a driver. That way you don't spend a lot of time teaching him how to drive an IndyCar. He's actually been driving it for at least two years now. That helps a lot. We promised him a test a year ago and we weren't able to do it. So it's pretty much what we promised.”

Chip Ganassi Racing is reducing its IndyCar Series field from five cars to a few for the 2025 season, with six-time champion Scott Dixon and newly crowned three-time champion Alex Palou the one confirmed drivers.

Despite this, Hull have made it clear that this performance will not be a deciding consider their decision to finish their driver line-up for next season.

“There were no strings attached,” Hull said.

“Of course, nothing like that. We saw him in person at Le Mans in the Cadillac that Action Express drives, so we knew him a little bit. So those three things together probably contribute to it. Where is this going? Now he's got no legs.”

Di Grassi 'positively surprised' by progress of Lola/Yamaha drivetrain in testing

Lucas di Grassi said he was “very positively surprised” by the progress the Abt Formula E team is making in testing the brand new Lola/Yamaha powertrain, which can debut in December.

The most experienced driver in Formula E history will proceed his uninterrupted profession within the all-electric championship with Abt, with the German outfit having ditched the Mahindra powertrains it has used since returning to the Gen3 era in favour of newcomers from the Lola/Yamaha team.

The programme represents the primary major motorsport enterprise for Lola since its revival in 2022 by British businessman Till Bechtolsheimer following the storied brand’s bankruptcy in 2012.

Speaking to Motorsport.com, di Grassi said the project “has taken off in a very impressive way” for the reason that first test in June, with preparations for the 2024-25 season, which starts in Sao Paulo on December 7, now in full swing.

“Considering the complexity of the task of developing a powertrain from scratch, software from scratch and an entire team from scratch, I am very positively surprised by the level of organisation and where the team is at,” said di Grassi, who won the title in 2016-17 with Abt when the corporate operated the Audi works team.

“We have done over 2,000 or 2,500 kilometers with the automobile in a really reliable way. There is lots of progress. The automobile runs very easily. From my perspective, it looks very efficient, it looks superb.

“I won't understand how well we compare to the others until we go to Valencia for testing. [from 4-7 November].

“But in terms of the process, the people, how everyone is involved [things are positive].”

Among probably the most significant technical changes for the brand new season, with Formula E introducing its modified Gen 3 Evo automobile, will likely be the introduction of all-wheel drive to Attack Mode, qualifying duels and race starts.

Di Grassi explained that this was a serious focus during testing, adding that he was already impressed with the increased efficiency that comes with sending 50 kW to the front axle.

“Just getting 50kW at the front doesn’t seem like much, but the car changes dramatically, it’s 1.5 to 2 seconds faster,” added the Brazilian.

“So four-wheel drive will change the strategy dynamics in the race massively with attack mode and will massively change the way the car drives, the lines and the approach to it.”

Di Grassi's teammate has yet to be announced, with Nico Muller leaving to hitch the Andretti Porsche team.

Meanwhile, Lola has appointed Peter McCool as technical director, with predecessor Mark Tatham taking up a consulting role.

This is McCool's second season with Lola, having previously worked for the Cambridge-based manufacturer from 2009 to 2012. He reunites with Lola's director of motorsport, Mark Preston, following a spell with the Super Aguri Formula 1 team.

Lola has already committed to following the Formula E Gen4 rules, but Yamaha has not yet done so.

Hidden winner of Bearman and Colapinto's heroics in Baku

The performances of Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapinto on the Azerbaijan Grand Prix gave Haas and Williams much to take into consideration.

For Haas, Bearman’s pace in Baku was impressive – he matched team-mate Nico Hulkenberg to take a degree for tenth, becoming the primary driver in F1 history to attain points for 2 different teams in his first two appearances.

His recovery from his training accident has been removed from what you may imagine for a rookie, and the grins on the faces of the players within the garage throughout the weekend were testament to the synergy he has built through his development with the team ahead of a full-time start next season.

Colapinto’s performance was largely comparable to Bearman’s, which caused Williams a little bit of a headache considering he is not going to be within the team next 12 months.

He overcame a training crash with none major problems, his blistering pace from the beginning of the weekend and the deserved points he scored on the identical pitch as his team-mate, on this case Alex Albon, showed why team boss James Vowles decided to exchange him with Logan Sargeant.

However, essentially the most pleased person might be the CEO of Formula 2 and Formula 3, Bruno Michel, who emphasised the effectiveness of the automobile pyramid, which is the premise of Formula 1 and helps drivers prepare for promotion.

“Ultimately, why is there this pyramid? It's to prepare drivers for Formula 1 and we want to make sure that when they come to F1, they're ready,” Michel explained.

“We saw what happened last weekend in Baku when two F2 drivers came into F1 and found their feet straight away, scoring points in their first race – well, it wasn't really their first race – but they're really starting to shine. [out]. This means the pyramid is working, and that's what really matters.”

This season, Formula 2 has modified the foundations to more closely resemble the cars utilized in Formula 1 and supply a greater challenge for drivers attempting to break into the highest division.

Formula 3 will make changes next 12 months, with the brand new automobile set to be unveiled on the season finale in Monza. Commenting on the advantages of the upgrade, Michel said: “We’re attempting to make certain that the evolution of F3 and F2 cars towards Formula 1 is correct and that drivers gain experience not only within the automobile but in addition in the entire Formula 1 environment during a race weekend.

“It's also concerning the format of the weekend, the incontrovertible fact that they're working in a special environment, that they’ve less time on target. There are lots of things that we do to arrange the drivers for F1, at the tip of the day. Of course, the tyres also play an enormous part within the progress of the drivers. So it's not only concerning the aerodynamics of the automobile, but in addition all of the systems that the automobile has.

“Drivers are beginning to work with the DRS system, with the environment that the FIA ​​is creating with race control, the race organisation system – drivers have to be prepared for all of these items, [so that] once they get to F1, they won't be completely lost.

“This is the most important thing we do, preparing drivers from F3 to F2 and from F2 to F1.”

Indy NXT Champion Foster Wins in Nashville Final

Andretti Global’s Louis Foster put his all-important stamp on the Indy NXT victory, storming from flag to flag from the pole position for all 65 laps to win the ultimate race of the season at Nashville Superspeedway.

The Briton was untouchable despite late pressure to carry off Abel Motorsports rookie Yuven Sundaramoorthy by 0.3071s on the 1.33-mile oval. The performance marked Foster’s tenth profession win, eight of which have come this season, during which he has also recorded 13 top-five finishes, 14 top-10 finishes, six pole positions and led 362 laps in 640 total in 14 races.

HMD Motorsports rookie Caio Collet finished third, Andretti Global’s James Roe was fourth and Andretti Cape rookie Salvador de Alba Jr. rounded out the highest five.

Race

Foster began from pole position after qualifying was interrupted resulting from rain and the grid was set to points. Abel needed to relinquish his second starting position after returning to the pit lane in the course of the pace laps resulting from a steering problem, returning before the green flag but being relegated to the back of the grid.

Foster got off to a clean start with rookie Collet second. Foster prolonged his result in 1.7147s on lap 10.

Meanwhile, Myles Rowe and Callum Hedge had a detailed fight for sixth place. The pair had a wheel-to-wheel moment after which touched going into Turn 1 as Rowe went to the surface. Rowe continued but Hedge was forced to pit.

The gap on the front continued to grow as Foster maintained a 2.0328s deficit over Collet on the halfway stage. However, there was a change in second place as Sundaramoorthy passed Collet.

By lap 40 Foster had a lead of three.1744 seconds over Sundaramoorthy, with Collet third and Roe fourth.

Abel bravely fought his way through the pack and moved as much as ninth place on lap 40, but was 20 seconds behind Foster.

The caution got here out with 14 laps to go after Chadwick tried to pass the overtaken automobile of Jack William Miller, however the two made contact at Turn 1, causing the previous to almost hit the wall before happening the within and thru the grass on the infield. She returned to the pits with suspension damage but was out of the race.

Foster led the sector to a restart with seven laps remaining and jumped out of the race, weaving up and down the track to forestall being towed by Sundaramoorthy.

The battle for victory was on with three laps to go, with Sundaramoorthy just behind Foster's gearbox and Collet a distant third, 1.7 seconds behind.

Despite the pressure in a while, Foster managed to take care of the lead and take the victory in his final Indy NXT event.
