Castroneves Pursues Historic Fifth Indy 500 Victory in 2025

Four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves is preparing for the 109th running of the race, aiming to become the event’s first-ever five-time winner. Castroneves, who last won in 2021, believes his experience and new technical alliance with Chip Ganassi Racing could give him an edge, noting a sense of optimism with multiple ‘fives’ aligning in his career milestones and the 2025 race date. Meanwhile, the USF Pro Championships continue their development ladder at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with Max Garcia currently leading the USF2000 standings and multiple teams vying for victory in both USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 races. The event’s recent history has seen a diverse set of winners, highlighting the competitiveness of the field. In the FIA World Endurance Championship, United Autosports’ McLaren GT3 EVO secured crucial points at Imola despite challenging track conditions, positioning themselves strongly ahead of the next round at Spa-Francorchamps. The team credits strategic driving and realistic expectations for their success at a circuit that doesn’t suit their car’s strengths.
