Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #32 Tom Blomqvist
American sportscar driver Tom Blomqvist had a successful return to IMSA’s GTP class, winning three races with Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura. However, his chance to repeat his 2022 DPi title success was ruined by a 200-point deduction for tyre data manipulation. Blomqvist also had impressive performances in the WEC’s LMP2 category with United Autosports, particularly at Spa and Le Mans. He made three starts in the IndyCar Series with MSR as a replacement for Simon Pagenaud, and this is where his future lies as he switches codes for 2024. Blomqvist’s speed in IMSA convinced his team bosses to give him a shot in IndyCar, and he believes he is ready for this new challenge after a strong year, including winning Petit Le Mans. He sees this move as starting at the bottom again but is excited about the opportunity.
