IndyCar is set to provide plenty of excitement in 2024. Here are five key storylines to watch out for this year.
First, let’s talk about Romain Grosjean. After being dropped by Andretti, he managed to secure a spot on the grid at Juncos Hollinger. But what are his goals for this season? It’s clear that Grosjean is not here just to collect a paycheck. He is determined to achieve the best results possible. However, his success will depend on various factors, such as the performance of the Juncos car and the progress of his teammate Agustin Canapino. Grosjean’s experience will undoubtedly be valuable in pushing Juncos further up the grid.
Next, we have Scott Dixon, who had an impressive season last year. Apart from one unfortunate incident, Dixon consistently finished in the top eight and even won two races. The only person who managed to outperform him was Alex Palou. Dixon will be looking to reclaim his position as the top contender this year, and his experience and continuity within his crew might give him an edge.
Marcus Ericsson has proven himself in IndyCar since making the switch from Formula 1. He has become a race winner and a regular championship contender. Now, he joins Andretti, where he can provide leadership and guidance to young drivers like Colton Herta and Kyle Kirkwood. Ericsson’s expertise in tire management and racecraft will be valuable assets to Andretti, and he could potentially become a championship contender.
IndyCar’s hybrid package has been delayed once again, causing uncertainty and raising questions about the future of the series. The introduction of the hybrid units could impact the championship fight and pose challenges for smaller teams. IndyCar needs to address these issues and come up with a plan that ensures the series’ long-term success.
Finally, we have Kyle Larson, who is being considered as a potential winner in his first Indy 500. Larson has proven his skills in various racing disciplines, but winning in his debut at the iconic race will be a tough challenge. The current formula of the cars and the competitiveness of other drivers make it difficult to predict a rookie winner. Larson will have to face strong contenders like Pato O’Ward and the possibility of Honda’s breakthrough performance.
In conclusion, the 2024 IndyCar season promises to be thrilling with these storylines to follow. We can expect intense competition, unexpected twists, and the emergence of new stars in the world of motorsport.
