IndyCar has "something missing that we have yet quite to crack" – O’Ward
The IndyCar Series has faced numerous challenges during this off-season, including a delay in implementing hybrid technology. Team owner Roger Penske met with select drivers to address their concerns, but Patricio O’Ward was not part of the meeting and had a different perspective. O’Ward believes that the series needs to push for innovative concepts to engage fans beyond the racing product. He also suggests that IndyCar’s ideals are outdated and that they should look at what has worked for other motorsport series to drive growth. O’Ward is bullish in his approach and believes that the series has the potential for massive gains if they fuel that growth.
