Arrow McLaren has signed Theo Pourchaire as their full-time driver for the No. 6 Chevrolet, except for the Indianapolis 500 where he is not approved to compete by the IndyCar Series. Pourchaire will race this weekend at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, then hand over the car for the Indy 500, and return for the remaining races in Detroit and all road courses, street courses, and ovals. Pourchaire expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, aiming to improve each race weekend with Arrow McLaren. The team chose him for his speed and fit, leading to his release from duties in the Super Formula series to avoid conflicts with IndyCar events. Arrow McLaren team principal praised Pourchaire’s learning mindset and skillset, looking forward to developing alongside him in the IndyCar Series. Callum Ilott is listed as the No. 6 car driver for the Indy 500 in IndyCar’s media guide, although not officially confirmed by the team.
