The 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season continues this weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, as the championship contenders return to the track for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
Alex Palou, the current points leader, will try to defend his Mid-Ohio victory from 2023 and extend his championship lead over Will Power.
Sunday’s race marks the beginning of a new era in the series, as teams will debut a new hybrid technology system. Drivers will be able to deploy the new hybrid assist functionality in combination with the Push to Pass system, providing a boost of more than 120 horsepower.
Via IndyCar.com:
“The existing 2.2-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine remains. What’s new is an innovative hybrid system comprised of a low voltage (48V) Motor Generator Unit (MGU) and Energy Storage System (ESS) – consisting of 20 ultracapacitors – both of which fit inside the bellhousing located between the Chevrolet and Honda INDYCAR SERIES internal combustion engine and the gearbox.”
