Last week IndyCar announced that its much-anticipated hybrid power system would not be ready in time for the 2024 season
The decision to delay the introduction of the hybrid system in the NTT IndyCar Series was made in order to allow more time for development and testing. The major teams involved in testing are supportive of this decision. Chip Ganassi Racing, one of the teams involved in testing, believes that the delay is the right choice given the current state of the system. There are still reliability concerns that need to be addressed before the system can be implemented in races. Bringing the system in halfway through the season is not seen as a major issue, as the teams are confident they can adapt to it easily. The priority is to ensure that the on-track product and the Indianapolis 500 are not compromised.
