IndyCar has poured cold water on claims made by Barranquilla Mayor Alejandro Char, who publicly announced that the Colombian city had secured an IndyCar event set for April 2028.
Speaking at the launch of the Magdalena River Crossing—as initially reported by prominent Colombian outlet Revista Semana—Mayor Char proclaimed that Barranquilla would host the series along the city's Gran Malecón riverfront. He framed the prospective event as a major milestone for the region and a step toward expanding the series internationally.
