There are three significant questions surrounding the NTT IndyCar Series. The first is whether it will go hybrid in 2024, and the answer is a definite yes. IndyCar will race next season with its established engines and new energy recovery systems. The second question is whether the ERS side of the hybrid powertrains will be ready for the season start, and while efforts are being made, there is no confirmation yet. The final question is about the timeline for completing the project, and that answer is still unclear. The cancellation of track testing in December has raised concerns about the ability to outfit all cars with fully tested units, and more dyno testing will be conducted. The next round of track tests is tentatively scheduled for January, leaving little time before the season opener. It is possible that the season might start without the hybrid configuration if there are further delays.
