In current news, Mike Cannon has joined Foyt to engineer Ferrucci.

There was also a test this week at Sebring, with Schwartzman top for Ganassi. Sting Ray Robb drove for Coyne, so it appears that he is the favourite for that drive.

Pruett still believes that Sato is the first choice at Ganassi, and that SRR's Sebring test with Coyne was a precursor to his signing with them for the season.

Pruett wraps up silly season (he hopes);

tl;dr
-Sato is top of Floyd's list to share the #11.
-Robb is a soft lock for DCR's #51.
-Which leaves Agustin Canapino to fill Juncos' #78.

As expected.

Perhaps less expected. Miller gets his last wish.

Note that it is for next year and not this one - Kanaan is safe for this May.

That's cool. Sato is still pretty handy on the ovals. At least he'll have a decent car for the 500.

That is a proper Indycar name.

How have I not heard of this guy

He's my new favourite driver in any series

(Please don't tell me he's been cancelled for being a racist redneck or some shit)

Will Power has now been relegated to second for the coolest name in Indycar

‘Sting Ray Robb’ sounds like a rejected Talladega Nights character.

The livery on the #7 is mostly unchanged from last year (orange and baby blue).

https://racer.com/2023/01/24/arrow-mcla ... ar-livery/

EDIT: In fact, the only difference appears to be the Vuse\Velo logos.

Post subject:  Re: 2023 IndyCar Series Discussion

FRosen's livery is very similar, the main difference being the shade of blue used in deference to past-and-future Palou sponsor NTT.

------------

RLLR have sold a decent chunk of the year's space on Harvey's car.

Imo those McLaren Indycar liveries are the best in motorsports at the moment
