2024 IndyCar Series explained

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 was 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. Newgarden won his second consecutive Indianapolis 500, the first driver to do so since Hélio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002.

Background and series news

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 postponed to 2027.^[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] IndyCar announced on May 14, 2024, that the new hybrid powertrain would debut at Mid-Ohio.^[3]

This is also the final year of IndyCar's current television contract with NBC Sports, which began in 2019 and was extended in 2021.^{[4] [5]} For 2025, the series' television coverage will move to Fox for all races.^[6]

New race restart procedures were introduced for 2024. On restarts, a new "restart line" was introduced, which drivers must pass before making overtaking attempts. The rule was introduced in response to a large number of incidents in 2023 that occurred from cars attempting to overtake early on race restarts.^[7]

For all oval events, the series mandated new, stronger rear suspension uprights on all cars. The new components were introduced in response to an incident during the 2023 Indianapolis 500 where a rear wheel assembly broke free from a car (specifically the Andretti No. 27 of Kyle Kirkwood who got collected by the spinning Arrow McLaren No. 6 of Felix Rosenqvist) and was launched over the catch fence meant to contain cars to the race circuit.^[8]

Schedule changes

• 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 featuring the Korean War Memorial Bridge.^[94] 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 30miles east to Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee,^[93] for the first IndyCar race at the track since 2008.
• On September 10, it was announced that The Thermal Club would host an exhibition race on March 24, 2024, with the winner earning $1 million. The event will be the first non-point paying event since the 2008 Nikon Indy 300 at Surfers Paradise, and the first American Championship car race in Riverside County, California since 1983.^[90]
• 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. Additionally, the Gallagher Grand Prix, the second road course date at Indianapolis, will not return in 2024, as NASCAR returns to the oval for the Brickyard 400 instead of the road course they had used since 2020 ending the joint IndyCar–NASCAR weekend where both series raced at the same venue on the same weekend. Both races were replaced by the Milwaukee Mile Doubleheader.^[95] Night races will also be reintroduced for the Saturday Iowa race and Gateway.^[88]

Points standings

• Ties are broken by number of wins, followed by number of 2nds, 3rds, etc.; then by finishing position in the previous race; then by random draw.

Driver standings

• At all races except the Indy 500, the pole position qualifier earns 1 point (unless qualifying is not held). The twelve Indy 500 qualifiers who qualify for the fast 12 session receive points based on the results of that session, descending from 12 points for first place.
• Drivers who lead at least one race lap are awarded 1 point. The driver who leads the most laps during a race scores an additional 2 points.
• Entrant-initiated engine change-outs before the engine reaches their required distance run result in the loss of 10 points.
