The IndyCar series is one of the fastest and most exhilarating racing series in the motorsports world. The sleek, aerodynamic cars of IndyCar are known for ripping up the tarmac at high speeds. These cars are specially built for attaining the highest speeds possible on IndyCar tracks. The IndyCar series primarily focuses on oval racing and some street and conventional tracks. As such, IndyCar vehicles are designed with top speed in mind. This is different compared to Formula 1 which has vehicles designed for best cornering speed and faster lap times. IndyCar cars can produce 650+ hp which proves extremely fast for most of the drivers. As such, winning an IndyCar race is considered a huge achievement for the driver. Many drivers participate in IndyCar races from time to time apart from their regular motorsports schedule. There are many famous Formula 1 drivers who spent a part of their career in IndyCar. Mario Andretti, Romain Grosjean and Fernando Alonso are some of the F1 drivers who have competed and achieved in IndyCar.
The IndyCar champion of 2024 was Alex Palou. Palou was in the spotlight pre-season due to his deal and lawsuits with McLaren. However, the driver proved himself the best yet again as he won a record-breaking season in the IndyCar series. However, there are many more drivers who have won more than Palou and are on the top of the IndyCar win list.
