The 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 will get underway this Sunday. British drivers, Louis Foster and Jack Harvey will be the two British competitors representing the country this weekend.
Foster, who is racing with RLL this season, will line-up 21st for his second race of the prestigious American race. He also out-qualified two of his three teammates, including former F1 driver Mick Schumacher.
The British driver currently sits 19th in the drivers standings with his best result coming at the last round at Sonsio Grand Prix, finishing seventh. Foster also led two laps at the season opener at St. Petersburg.
At the 109th running of the Indy 500 last season, Foster would secure his second best result of the season to that point, finishing in 12th.
This season, he will be looking to build on his strong result at the last round and also the positive debut he had at the Indy 500 last season.
Meanwhile, Jack Harvey returns to the Indianapolis 500 with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing as he prepares for another appearance at the iconic event. The British driver has become a familiar face around the Speedway in recent years and brings valuable experience to the month of May.
Harvey has previously shown strong pace at Indianapolis, recording multiple top-ten finishes during his IndyCar career, including a career-best ninth-place result in the 2020 running of the race. His consistency around the oval and experience in traffic could prove important across the 200-lap event on Sunday. He has qualified at the back in 33rd after not recording a time.
With Foster continuing to establish himself in IndyCar and Harvey bringing experience and proven oval pace, British fans will have two drivers to follow closely throughout Sunday’s race at Indianapolis.
