The 2021 NASCAR Cup champion aims to make his IndyCar Series debut in a Hendrick Motorsports-owned fourth McLaren-Chevrolet entry in the 108th running of the Indy 500 next May.
A necessary step towards that is gaining his clearance as a rookie, which has now been arranged for a test in October. Larson has already driven the car virtually on GM’s simulator, and has had his seat fitting at McLaren’s workshops at Indianapolis – revealing that his seat insert is exactly the same as his driving advisor Tony Kanaan.
