Arrow McLaren is the the only team in the series affiliated with a Formula One constructor<\/a>, with Brown overseeing operations for all McLaren racing teams.<\/p>\n

Dixon will race bearing the famous McLaren Kiwi logo, a link to the team\u2019s New Zealand heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a New Zealander, being part of Bruce McLaren\u2019s legacy<\/a> will be special; his spirit and grit are still very much rooted in that team, and I\u2019m excited to carry that on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dixon won six championships with Chip Ganassi Racing.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kanaan, team principal of Arrow McLaren, said: \u201cIt\u2019s never an easy decision, but when you have the opportunity to bring drivers of this calibre into your team, you take it seriously. Scott\u2019s accomplishments speak for themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rosenqvist, of Sweden, was with Arrow McLaren from 2021-2024 before switching to Meyer Shank Racing for the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

The pair will join Pato O\u2019Ward, of Mexico, in a three-driver line up at Arrow McLaren.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to return to Arrow McLaren next season and reunite with Pato, of course, and also Tony, Zak and the crew and engineers I worked with previously,\u201d Rosenqvist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of familiar faces, and we\u2019ve got an incredible line-up with Scott joining … I think our collective experience will be a huge benefit. I\u2019ve still got work to do to finish this season strong, but I\u2019m looking forward to what\u2019s to come at Arrow McLaren.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current drivers Nolan Siegel and Christian Lundgaard will leave the team to make room for Dixon and Rosenqvist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arrow McLaren is the the only team in the series affiliated with a Formula One constructor, with Brown…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[18516,114949,2223,13242,84394,2082,5756,194,3223,4262,2683,111,139,69,8139,6926,213,61],"class_list":["post-513004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-18516","tag-arrow","tag-confirmed","tag-confirms","tag-dixon","tag-for","tag-indycar","tag-kiwi","tag-legend","tag-mclaren","tag-move","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-scott","tag-season","tag-sports","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
