The NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule doesn’t slow down and neither does Arrow McLaren. Our July marathon goes international as the team heads to Toronto for the last street course of the season.

After a strong drive to deliver the first win of the season in Iowa, Pato O’Ward takes command of P2 in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES Championship.  2023 polesitter and winner in Toronto Christian Lundgaard looks to build on his momentum and deliver another strong performance.
