Arrow McLaren hands IndyCar test to Enzo Fittipaldi

Enzo Fittipaldi will complete an IndyCar evaluation test for Arrow McLaren at The Thermal Club later this month.

The grandson of two-time Formula 1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi, who has one win and one further podium to his name in F2 this term so far, will drive a McLaren Indycar in the mid-November test.

A statement from McLaren, which has already confirmed next year's three-car line-up as Pato O'Ward, Christian Lungaard and Nolan Seigel, read: “Arrow McLaren will satisfy their allotted evaluation test with Enzo Fittipaldi at The Thermal Club on Tuesday, November 19.

“Each lap in our cars is important as we continue preparations for the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season, and we’re proud to extend this one to Enzo, whose family is so closely connected to the history of McLaren Racing.

"We’re eager to collect learnings and apply them in the form of a points race at The Thermal Club IndyCar Grand Prix on March 23. For removal of doubt, our 2025 line-up is firm with Pato, Nolan and Christian.”

Fittipaldi's brother Pietro completed his first full-time IndyCar season with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing last season.

The test will mark the second time Fittipaldi has driven IndyCar machinery, having tested at Sebring with Dale Coyne Racing last October.

The Thermal Club, which hosted a non-championship exhibition event last season, will make its full bow on the IndyCar schedule next term.
