The long wait for the new era of the IndyCar series came to an end last weekend with the race debut of its hybrid engine at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the midway point of the 17-race 2024 season.
A collaborative effort between IndyCar, Chevrolet and Honda paired the 2.2-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 internal combustion engine – a stalwart in the series since 2012 – with an electrical low-voltage (48V) motor generator unit (MGU) and a 320 kilojoules-per-lap supercapacitor energy storage system (ESS).
