General Motors is exploring Formula 1 opportunities following Michael Andretti's step down, though some fans suggest they consider becoming a third engine supplier in IndyCar instead.
Wayne Taylor Racing will operate the Cadillac GTP program in IMSA for 2025, with Andretti Global maintaining involvement primarily through ownership rather than daily operations. This shift allows WTR to leverage their expertise in IMSA and hybrid GTPs.
Regarding historic racing platforms, IMSA GTO and Trans Am cars from the late '80s and early '90s shared many similarities. Roush's vehicles, designed by Bob Riley, could compete in both series with primary differences being engine displacement and configuration.
IndyCar may reduce its field from 27 to 25 cars with the introduction of new chassis, according to team owner discussions. This reduction could affect three-car teams (Andretti, Ganassi, McLaren, RLL, and Penske), though official plans haven't been announced.
FOX's recent coverage of the Indy 500 Pace Car announcement during NFL pregame programming, featuring Michael Strahan and Will Power's Verizon-sponsored car, demonstrates the positive impact of Penske Entertainment's FOX partnership, despite some concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
