Louis Foster is hoping to be the latest British racing driver to shine in IndyCar and there is good reason to hype him up. Foster dominated the 2024 Indy NXT season, winning eight of 14 races on his way to collecting the championship by a clear margin. Meanwhile, the Indy NXT championship runner-up, Jacob Abel, was the only driver besides Foster to win multiple races (winning three total) last season, which was an impressive feat considering how dominant Foster was.
Both found their way to the IndyCar grid for 2025 with Foster joining Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Abel joining Dale Coyne Racing. But after two races, neither have outstanding results for such an outstanding prior season in Indy NXT. Abel so far has scored just 12 points and sits second-to-last in the standings. The only driver below him – shockingly – is Foster, with 11 points.
