Honda and Chevrolet have completed a two-day test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course aimed at proving parts for the 2024 IndyCar hybrid units.Chip Ganassi Racing’s six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon was driving for Honda around the 14-turn 2.439-mile course, while Team Penske’s two-time and reigning champion Will Power took the wheel for Chevrolet.
Representatives from IndyCar, Chevrolet and Honda all refused to speak either on- or off-the-record about the purpose of the track time. However Autosport has learned that, as Chevy stated, this was not a strictly hybrid test. Power and Dixon were trialing all systems other than the MGUs themselves, checking that other new-for-2024 components in the system – including the supercapacitors – are capable of withstanding the stresses of racing as well as trying out a proposed new gearbox.
This problem will be exacerbated by the arrival of the hybrid system in 2024, which appears set to increase the weight of an IndyCar by around 100lbs. The Penske and Ganassi cars in the IMS test are believed to have been ballasted to replicate that weight gain.
