Andretti Global
Andretti Global is an American motorsports organization with teams competing in the IndyCar Series, Indy NXT, Formula E, and joint entries in IMSA and the Australian Supercars Championship.The team was founded as Forsythe/Green Racing by Gerald Forsythe and Barry Green in 1993, and began competing in the CART Indy Car World Series the following year.The team restructured in September 2023 in pursuit of a Formula One entry and rebranded to Andretti Global, with Dan Towriss becoming a minority owner.[1] In 2024, Andretti sold the team to Los Angeles Dodgers lead owner Mark Walter's TWG Global holding company, with Towriss staying on as co-owner and CEO.Paul Tracy left the team to stay in the Champ Car World Series, with Tony Kanaan joining Franchitti and Andretti.At the 2005 Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, AGR had all 4 drivers finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th; Wheldon led home Kanaan, Franchitti, and Herta to round out the top 4.On 25 September 2009, the Indianapolis Star reported that Danica Patrick had signed a contract to stay with Andretti Green and the IndyCar Series through 2012.[8] Disaster struck at Indianapolis when Mike Conway failed to qualify and Marco Andretti was forced to bump teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay from the final spot in the field, forcing Michael Andretti to purchase the already qualified spot of A. J. Foyt Enterprises driver Bruno Junqueira to meet Hunter-Reay's sponsorship commitments.[10] At the completion of the 2011 season, Dan Wheldon was due to sign a contract to return to the team in 2012 in the car vacated by Patrick.He was killed in an accident during the season-ending 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship, leaving the future of the #7 GoDaddy team uncertain.[13] Jayski's Silly Season Site stated that Andretti Autosport would field a single-car team in the Cup Series in 2013 with Dodge as the manufacturer.[14] In addition to Patrick being replaced by Hinchcliffe, Mike Conway was not brought back for the 2012 season, leaving the team with three full-time cars.The team's three drivers qualified second, third, and fourth for the 500, however, the race itself proved a disappointment with only Hinchcliffe completing the full 200 laps, finishing sixth.A fourth victory in the penultimate race of the season at Baltimore left Hunter-Reay as the only challenger to Will Power for the series championship.[16] Busch and three of the four full-time Andretti Autosport drivers finished the Indianapolis 500 in the top six, including Hunter-Reay, who won the race.[17] However, Busch, who finished in 6th on the lead-lap, fell short of completing all 1,100 miles for Double Duty when his engine expired on lap 274 of the 2014 Coca-Cola 600.During the 2002 season, the team switched from Reynard to Lola chassis due to the former's financial troubles, producing a striking new livery for Franchitti's car to coincide with the change.In 2006, it was announced that AGR was selected by Honda Performance Development to be one of the official works teams for the new Acura LMP program in the American Le Mans Series.Andretti Autosport announced on March 4, 2010, that they would begin competing in the U.S. F2000 National Championship when they signed Sage Karam.Off the track, Karam has spoken at Operation Smile and Veach is working with Oprah Winfrey's No Phone Zone and FocusDriven as a spokesKID for both.On 6 September, a week before the scheduled Island X-Prix, Extreme E announced the cancellation of the remaining rounds in Sardinia and Phoenix.In 2022, Michael Andretti filed an application with the FIA, Formula One's governing body, to enter in 2024,[37] and struck a deal to acquire engines from Renault.[41][42][43] Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner stressed that the problem was the distribution of profits,[44] while owner of Aston Martin, Lawrence Stroll, was in favor of the incorporation of Andretti to Formula One, although he would later be against it.[46] In 2023, Michael Andretti announced that he had established a partnership with General Motors and that his Formula One bid would be branded under GM's Cadillac marque.
