The encrypted channel broadcast for the first timeIndyCar "modern" in 2014, by obtaining the rights to broadcast the Indianapolis 500 Miles on a delayed basis, before broadcasting the championship events live since 2015. The press release indicates that the contract extension is multi-year, although the exact number of seasons has not been communicated. The Canal+ Group thus continues to be very active in the field of motor sports, since it also owns the rights to the Formula 1 and MotoGP until 2029, and from WRC to 20230.

In addition to France, the international rights sold to Canal+ concern Switzerland, sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam and Myanmar. The 2025 IndyCar season begins on March 2 in the streets of St. Petersburg, starting at 18 p.m.
