HONDA AND CHEVROLET SET TO CONTINUE AS ENGINE PROVIDERS IN INDYCAR
Penske Entertainment has reached agreements with Chevrolet and Honda to keep both manufacturers in the IndyCar Series until 2030, ending long-running uncertainty about their futures, as per Marshall Pruett.
The two brands will continue supplying the current 2.2-liter twin-turbo hybrid V6 engines through 2027, which will serve as a transition year. In 2028, they are expected to introduce new 2.4-liter twin-turbo hybrid V6 engines to power Dallara’s upcoming IR28 chassis. While the exact contract length has not been disclosed, previous deals typically ran for three years, potentially covering 2028 through 2030.
Securing Chevrolet and Honda finalizes IndyCar’s 2028 engine regulations and allows both manufacturers to accelerate development and testing of the new power units.
As part of the agreement, Penske Entertainment will reportedly grant each manufacturer a charter, enabling them to enter a factory-backed one-car program under IndyCar’s charter system.
