F2 veteran Ghiotto to make IndyCar debut with Dale Coyne Racing at Barber
The 29-year-old Luca Ghiotto recently competed in the European Le Mans Championship opening round this year with Inter Europol Competition, finishing eighth in Barcelona. Following his runner-up finish to Esteban Ocon in the 2015 GP3 championship, Ghiotto spent five seasons in Formula 1’s feeder category, achieving a best finish of third with Virtuosi Racing in 2019 and securing seven wins. Ghiotto will drive the #51 DCR entry, previously driven by Colin Braun and Nolan Seigel, at Barber Motorsports Park before tackling the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on May 10-11. Despite not having tested the car yet, Ghiotto expressed his excitement for his IndyCar Series debut and the challenge ahead at a new track. The experienced driver, also a former Nissan Formula E test and simulator driver, will bring valuable knowledge to the team, while Katherine Legge will join DCR for the Indianapolis 500 next month.
