How McLaren might transfer its Formula 1 ideas and processes to its IndyCar team has always been intriguing. It's got a new idea for 2024
McLaren has been implementing various strategies to utilize its Formula 1 knowledge and resources in IndyCar since joining full-time in 2020. Instead of taking shortcuts, McLaren has adopted a methodical approach due to the strong competition from teams like Chip Ganassi Racing and Team Penske. The team has integrated an IndyCar element at its Woking base to align with its F1 operations. However, some ideas did not work due to the differences between the two series. To further enhance performance, McLaren plans to introduce new equipment in 2024, including a high-tech engineering truck that resembles those seen in the Formula 1 paddock. Upgrading facilities and providing the team with advanced tools is a priority. Additionally, McLaren is considering the possibility of a driver-in-loop simulator, which would be a significant advantage in a series where practice sessions are limited.
