IndyCar to introduce independent officiating system

The IndyCar Series will have an independent officiating system in place for the 2026 season, the sanctioning body confirmed on Thursday. The new system will also extend to Indy NXT, the undercard of North America’s premier open-wheel championship.

The new independent and not-for-profit organization – INDYCAR Officiating Inc. - has been established and will be governed by a three-person Independent Officiating Board (IOB). The members of the board will select a Managing Director of Officiating (MDO) and establish its annual budget.
