The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series is the 113th official championship season of American open wheel racing and the 29th season under IndyCar Series sanction. Its showcase event will be the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500.

Spanish driver Álex Palou entered the season as the defending champion, having obtained his second IndyCar title in 2023, while Josef Newgarden entered the season as the defending Indianapolis 500 winner.

Background and series news[edit]

The 2.2-liter engines used in the series are scheduled to have hybrid technology implemented after the original plans to debut a new 2.4-liter hybrid engine formula were scrapped.[1] The original plan was to introduce the hybrid powertrain at the start of the season in St. Petersburg, but on December 7, 2023, IndyCar announced a delay to its introduction, until after the Indianapolis 500.[2]

This is also the final year of IndyCar's current television contract with NBC Sports, which began in 2019 and was extended in 2021.[3][4]

Confirmed entries[edit]

The following teams, entries, and drivers compete in the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season. All teams use a spec Dallara IR18 chassis with universal aero kit and Firestone tires.

    • On October 4, 2023, Grosjean released a statement confirming his departure from Andretti, and that he has commenced an arbitration proceeding in Indiana against the team, saying that he had expected to continue racing with the team "in the coming years."[45]

Schedule changes[edit]

  • On August 3, IndyCar announced that the Music City Grand Prix would host the season finale from 2024 onwards. The 2024 race was scheduled to feature a new layout running through Broadway in Downtown Nashville, but still featureing the Korean War Memorial Bridge.[60] Laguna Seca's date was moved to June to accommodate this. On February 14, 2024 – and due to anticipated construction beginning on the New Nissan Stadium which would interfere with the circuit – the race was moved 30 miles (48 kilometres) east to Nashville Superspeedway in Gladeville,[59] for the first IndyCar race at the track since 2008.
  • On September 25, IndyCar released the 2024 schedule. The Texas race, which had been a feature of the schedule from the 1996–97 season, will not return in 2024. Besides Texas, the Gallagher Grand Prix will not return in 2024, ending the joint IndyCar–NASCAR weekend (where both series raced at the same venue on the same weekend) established in 2020. Both races were replaced by the Milwaukee Mile Doubleheader.[61] Night races will also be reintroduced for Gateway and the Saturday Iowa race.[54]
