Juri Vips, a veteran of Formula 2, competed in two events with RLL last season, finishing 18th and 24th. Despite the results not reflecting his true pace, he impressed during qualifying at Laguna Seca, almost making it into the Firestone Fast Six. Unfortunately, an early crash dashed his hopes of a strong finish. Following his debut weekends, Vips continued working with the team and has been granted another IndyCar opportunity for the final road course race of the 2024 season. Excited for the challenge, Vips expressed gratitude for the chance and confidence in leveraging his experience from the previous races to quickly get back up to speed. About to turn 24, Vips will look to capitalize on his familiarity with the Portland track to improve his race pace on August 25, driving the #75 entry with Amada sponsorship. Team owner Bobby Rahal praised Vips’ potential and work in the simulator, hinting at the possibility of more races with RLL in the future.
