Pato O'Ward Calls for Passionate Support for IndyCar in Mexico

Pato O'Ward, a Mexican IndyCar driver, has expressed his desire for an IndyCar race in Mexico, highlighting the necessity of passionate involvement from all stakeholders. His comments come after the announcement that the IndyCar Series will host a race in Barcelona in 2027, supported by a local promoter.

O'Ward noted that achieving a similar event in Mexico requires a united effort, which he believes has been lacking. He pointed out the swift agreement reached in Barcelona as a contrast to the challenges faced in Mexico, where financial considerations have hindered progress. He emphasized that organizing such a major event involves more than just logistics; it requires a commitment from all parties to make it viable.

The driver believes that IndyCar could replicate the success of Formula 1 in Mexico, referencing past events that showcased the sport's potential. He stressed the importance of assembling a dedicated team that genuinely wants to see IndyCar thrive in the country.
