Four cars and 12 drivers participated in the recent hybrid powertrain test of the NTT IndyCar Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Teams from Chevrolet, Arrow McLaren, Team Penske, Honda’s Andretti Global, and Chip Ganassi Racing tested different drivers in each car over the three-day event. The test was considered extremely positive, building on the success of a previous test at the same track. The focus of the test was on new software for the motor generator unit and supercapacitor energy storage system developed in a collaboration between Chevy and Honda. The extensive testing, covering 5,852 miles, showed no major issues, with only minor software glitches that were promptly addressed. The hybrid testing is set to continue at different venues before the systems are introduced in competition this summer, with high praise for the progress made and the performance of the technology from drivers and teams involved in the testing.
