Ilott keeps Arrow McLaren drive for $1m IndyCar race
Malukas has been sidelined due to a wrist injury from a mountain biking accident in February, with Ilott stepping in to drive for Arrow McLaren. Ilott finished 13th at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and will also compete in upcoming events like the Barber test and the $1 Million Challenge. The non-championship event will take place at The Thermal Club in southern California on 24 March, with a chance to win a one-million-dollar prize. Ilott, a former European F3 and Formula 2 contender, is balancing his IndyCar outings with his main focus on the World Endurance Championship with Porsche squad Jota. Despite joining Arrow McLaren at short notice, Ilott showed improvement throughout the weekend, with team principal Gavin Ward praising his progress and adaptability.
