Arrow McLaren announced Oct. 6 a multiyear extension with Chevrolet as its engine manufacturer, reaffirming the organizations\u2019 longstanding technical partnership as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES prepares for its next era of innovation.<\/p>\n
The extension comes at a pivotal moment for both Arrow McLaren and Chevrolet as the series completes early testing phases for the new Dallara IR-28 chassis set to debut in 2028 competition. The next generation platform will introduce improved aerodynamic architecture, an upgraded power-to-weight ratio, new wing packages designed for better racing and overall improved safety systems \u2014 all areas where early manufacturer involvement is essential.<\/p>\n
“Our extension with Chevrolet is key to our overall goal of winning both the INDYCAR championship and the Indy 500,\u201d McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said. \u201cOver the past seven seasons, the team and Chevy have been working closely together through various developments, and the work now ahead of us with the 2028 chassis will be critical in determining our competitiveness. Mark Reuss, Eric Warren, Jim Campbell and everyone across the Chevy and GM organization are committed to executing at the highest level and share our absolute focus on winning. I\u2019m excited for what\u2019s to come with this strengthened relationship.”<\/p>\n
Since McLaren Racing entered the series full time in 2020 with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports to become Arrow McLaren SP, the Arrow McLaren and Chevrolet collaboration has achieved 14 Chevy-powered wins, 54 podiums and 13 NTT P1 Awards. Chevy also secured three consecutive Manufacturers\u2019 Championships from 2022-24.<\/p>\n
\u201cArrow McLaren has been an important part of Chevrolet\u2019s INDYCAR program, and this extension reflects the strength of the technical relationship we\u2019ve built together,\u201d said Eric Warren, General Motors vice president of global motorsports competition. \u201cAs the series moves toward the next generation of car and powertrain development, close collaboration between our engineers will be critical. We continue to share a clear objective with Arrow McLaren: to keep raising the performance of the Chevrolet package and compete for wins, championships and the Indianapolis 500.”<\/p>\n
