With the IndyCar off-season still underway, IndyCar driver Graham Rahal’s wife, Courtney Force, and her family took a trip to the Universal Studios. She shared pictures from the Force family getaway on her Instagram account on February 3, 2025.
The Instagram post consisted of a carousel of 10 pictures from the Force family's visit to the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in California. The trip included the two Force sisters, Courtney and Brittany, along with their husbands, Graham Rahal and Bobby Lyons, and their kids.
The first slide was a picture of the two sisters, Courtney dressed up in a beige fur jacket while Brittany flaunted a check-patterned shirt, and both wore black bottoms. The next picture was a group photo of all the members of the Force family that took the trip, including the kids Harlan Ann Rahal and Tinley Leighton Rahal.
The following pictures were of the kids posing in front of different character sculptures. In the seventh picture, the entire family posed with the Transformers protagonist Optimus Prime except for Graham Rahal. The last few pictures were of the kids having a wholesome moment with Courtney Force, and Uncle Bobby Lyons. The caption of the post read,
“Starry night at Universal”
