2021 IndyCar Series

The 2021 NTT IndyCar Series was the 26th season of the IndyCar Series and the 110th official championship season of American open wheel racing. The premier event was the 2021 Indianapolis 500, won by Hélio Castroneves (Meyer Shank Racing). It was the second year under Penske management after they took over in late 2019. Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing) entered his 21st season competing for a National Championship as the defending champion, but ultimately finished the campaign in fourth place.

Álex Palou (left) won his first driver's championship, Josef Newgarden (right), finished second in points.

Second-year driver Álex Palou became the first Spanish driver to win the series championship,[1] winning a joint-most three races during the campaign for Chip Ganassi Racing. He finished 38 points clear of Team Penske's Josef Newgarden, who won two races, and finished second in points for the second year in succession.[2] Third place in the championship went to Pato O'Ward for Arrow McLaren SP, who like Newgarden, won two races during the season. A total of nine drivers won races during the season, with Colton Herta (Andretti Autosport) also winning three races.[2] The Manufacturers' Cup was won by Honda for the fourth consecutive season, while Scott McLaughlin (Team Penske) won Rookie of the Year honors.[2]

Background edit

2021 was to be the final season that the Dallara DW12 UAK18 and Dallara DW12 chassis package (which debuted in 2012 and 2018 respectively) was to be used in competition. It was also scheduled to be the final season for the 2.2-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine package that debuted in 2012; in October 2020, this was delayed for an additional season, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Confirmed entries edit

The following teams, entries, and drivers have been announced to compete in the 2021 NTT IndyCar Series season. All teams will use a spec Dallara DW12 chassis with UAK18 aero kit and Firestone tires.

Driver changes edit

Team changes edit

  • On October 28, 2020, it was announced that DragonSpeed, who competed on a part-time basis in the previous 2 seasons, left the IndyCar Series.[70]
  • Team Penske ended their partnership with Supercars team Dick Johnson Racing (with whom McLaughlin won his three titles) to make room for another IndyCar entry and thus returned to competing with four cars for the first time since 2017.
  • Meyer Shank Racing added a second, part time entry for Hélio Castroneves after purchasing the car put up for sale by DragonSpeed.[71]
  • Chip Ganassi Racing also returned to a regular four-car team for the first time since 2017.
  • Dale Coyne Racing announced a partnership with Rick Ware Racing (who field full- and part-time entries in numerous other series including the NASCAR Cup and Asian Le Mans Series) for the full season, changing the number of the team's second entry from No. 19 to No. 51.
  • On February 18, 2021, Andretti Autosport mentioned that James Hinchcliffe's No. 29 entry would compete under the banner of "Andretti Steinbrenner Autosport", with one of the partners from the former Andretti Harding Steinbrenner Autosport entry, George Steinbrenner IV, returning as a partner.[72]
  • New entrant Top Gun Racing attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 with R. C. Enerson after shelving their plans to run the 2020 Indianapolis 500.[73] The team later ran at the Big Machine Spiked Cooler Grand Prix.[59]
  • On August 3, 2021, the newly renamed Juncos Hollinger Racing announced that it would return to top-level IndyCar competition for the first time since the 2019 Indianapolis 500, contesting the final three races of 2021 in preparation for a full-time campaign beginning in 2022. The announcement also mentioned that former Williams F1 shareholder Brad Hollinger had become a co-owner of the team.[43]

Schedule edit

On October 1, 2020, a seventeen-race calendar was announced.[74] Iowa Speedway did not return from the 2020 IndyCar Series calendar, while all tracks that were unable to host races in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic returned to the calendar with the exception of Circuit of the Americas and Richmond Raceway.[75][76] A second road course race at Indianapolis was held once again, as part of a doubleheader on Brickyard weekend in August.[77][78]

On December 17, 2020, it was announced that in order to provide "the best opportunity to provide our guests with a fun and exciting experience in a safe and unrestricted environment", the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach would be rescheduled from April 18 to September 26, becoming the season finale. Combined with the Portland and Laguna Seca events, this formed a three-race west coast swing to conclude the season, while for the second consecutive year the season would conclude with a street course race.[79]

On January 6, 2021, the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg was rescheduled to April 25 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the season opener being moved to Barber Motorsports Park.[80]

On January 22, 2021, the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama was rescheduled to April 18 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was now on NBC network television.[81]

On May 14, 2021, the Honda Indy Toronto was cancelled for a second successive season, due to the restrictions imposed in Ontario because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[82]

  • Drivers who lead at least one race lap were awarded 1 point.[86] The driver who leads the most laps during a race scored an additional 2 points.[86]
