“Given the amount of technology that goes into our highly sophisticated INDYCAR racing machines and the support of their pit operations, it’s most fitting that a world-leading technology company like NTT is both our Title and Technology Partner,” says Jay Frye, INDYCAR president.
Additionally, since 2012, NTT DATA has been the official IT services partner and sponsor of the Chip Ganassi Racing team, winner of four Indianapolis 500 races and 14 INDYCAR championships. It is also the latter for the INDYCAR sanctioning body, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 race and the NASCAR Brickyard events. In 2019, NTT became the title partner of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES as well as its Official Technology Partner. International drivers from more than 20 teams pilot single-seat, open-cockpit cars that sport 2.2-liter, twin-turbocharged, direct-injected V-6 engines, optimized to run at 12,000 RPM with an estimated 550–700 horsepower depending on their turbocharger boosts. And, for fans, the excitement is contagious, driving growth in attendance and ratings, bucking the downward trend in the fan bases of other motorsports.īorn from the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES features open-wheel cars racing superspeedways - including the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway - short ovals, road courses and temporary street circuits. At stake are millions of dollars in prize money over a 17-race season, but because drivers are fiercely competitive athletes, their biggest motivation is simple: winning. With drivers in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES reaching top speeds of up to 240 miles per hour, their adrenalin runs high, yet their concentration stays keenly focused - on the asphalt ahead, the drivers around them and their cars’ performance.
