Honda couldn’t quite top the timesheets during Saturday qualifying at the Circuit of the Americas, with Team Penske’s Will Power just barely edging out Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi, but was able to get the job done on Sunday thanks to the outstanding efforts of Colton Herta, who became the youngest winner in IndyCar history. Herta, […]

In 2016, Honda accomplished something historic: it won the 100th Indy 500 with Alexander Rossi, a 24-year-old rookie, at the wheel.

It was speculated that IndyCar’s new 2018 aerokit would benefit Honda, thanks to its superior engine, and so far this is looking to be the case after the opening race of the IndyCar season at St. Petersburg, where four Honda drivers led 105 of the 110 laps, and eight Honda-powered cars finished in the top […]
Four-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon says that Honda will benefit from the series’ new universal aero kit, as it will cause Chevrolet to lose the superior manufacturer-produced kit it enjoyed for the last three years. “The spread [of team performance] is smaller than it used to be,” he told Motorsport. “But I think at the […]
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, says the company is interested in entering Alfa Romeo into the IndyCar Series.

Formula One cars haven’t raced around the Long Beach street circuit since 1983 but that could all change very soon, as the Long Beach City Council is expected to decide in July whether to permit F1’s return or to continue its current agreement with IndyCar. The city hired KPMG, a consultancy firm, to analyze the […]
Yesterday, over two million people watched Fernando Alonso test-drive an IndyCar—more than normally tune in to watch an actual race, likely because it marked the first time in decades an active Formula One driver was preparing to take part in the upcoming Indianapolis 500 race. Alonso and Andretti Autosport spent the better part of the […]
