Ed Jones with Ed Carpenter with Scuderia Corsa

His season under the colors of Chip Ganassi Racing did not live up to expectations, with a thirteenth place and only two podiums under his belt. So much so that he was fired by the Indianapolis team, who replaced him with Felix rosenqvist.

If he has found a new employer for 2019, Ed Jones will have to be content with a partial campaign, since he will share the No. 20 Dallara-Chevrolet with Ed Carpenter, whose eponymous team has signed a partnership with Team Corsa, an entity already seen at the Indy 500 this year and which continues to shine in the GTD category of theIMSA. The 2017 rookie of the year will be requisitioned for 13 of the 17 races on the program, namely the urban and road courses as well as the 103^e edition of Indy 500, where the team will field three single-seaters and where it will display the No. 64.

« Joining Ed Carpenter Racing and Scuderia Corsa is a fantastic opportunity for me, underlines the 23-year-old Dubai native. ECR and Scuderia Corsa have shone in their respective series and I am convinced that the joining of their forces will be beneficial. Ed Carpenter has shown exceptional speed at the Indy 500 in recent years. You always expect to see their cars at the forefront. »

As a reminder, Ed Jones and Ed Carpenter will team up with Spencer Pigot, requisitioned for the entirety of the upcoming exercise on the car bearing the number 21.
