The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series will be 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 will enter the season as the defending champion, having obtained his second IndyCar title in 2023, while Josef Newgarden will enter the season as the defending Indianapolis 500 winner.

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 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]

Confirmed entries

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