HPD working to accommodate additional IndyCar supply requests
Honda Performance Development (HPD) has expressed its preference for limiting its supply of engines in the NTT IndyCar Series to 16 full-time teams next season. The addition of a fifth entry for Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) has raised questions about whether another Honda-powered team, like Andretti Global, would be affected by this decision. HPD President David Salters clarified that they would not take engines away from teams they have committed to supporting. He praised CGR and stated that they are willing to do anything to assist them. Salters also mentioned the importance of bringing in younger talent to the series. HPD expects to have a clearer picture of the number of teams they will support in the coming weeks, as they strive to strike a balance between competitiveness and accommodating teams.
