Pat O'Ward bounces back at Carlin

2018 Indy Lights Champion, Pat O'Ward was to be one of the attractions of the 2019 season of theIndyCar Series. Alas, the contract linking him with Harding Steinbrenner Racing was terminated.

Equipped with the purse allocated to the driver who takes the crown in the antechamber of the queen series of the car across the Atlantic, the 19-year-old Mexican finally found refuge with Carlin, even if it is not to play the entire season.

O’Ward will be at the start of thirteen races in the car bearing the number 23 and which will be entrusted for the remaining rounds to the American Charlie Kimball. The British team will also enter three Dallara DW12-Chevrolets in the Indy 500 on May 26.

More than convincing during his only appearance in the series last year at Sonoma, O'Ward will be requisitioned at Austin, Barber, Long Beach, Indianapolis GP, Indy 500, Detroit, Road America, Toronto, Iowa, Mid-Ohio, Gateway and Portland.

“I find in Pato this spark that in some of the best students who have passed with us, rejoices boss Trevor Carlin. It is very promising. He is an extraordinary talent and deserves this opportunity. »

And the person concerned continues: “I can’t describe how excited this challenge makes me. Given the circumstances, the last few weeks were very stressful. » Here is Carlin well armed for her second season in the series.
