Andretti Autosport, a Championship-winning motorsports organization, today announced a major rebranding initiative that will see the international organization adopt the branding of Andretti Global, the identity previously named as the parent company to the U.S.-based race team.  

As a brand that is built on a foundation of racing excellence, the new Andretti Global name will unite all aspects of the organization under a single identity, more closely aligning with the team’s already-established legacy. Andretti Global currently operates in eight motorsports platforms racing across six continents with an appetite to expand its worldwide footprint into other major motorsports series.  

Along with the name change, the current Andretti Autosport shield will be replaced with the Andretti Global logo. As each of the 2024 racing seasons get underway, fans can look forward to a new digital experience from the most trusted name in motorsports with the rebrand additionally bringing a new structure to the team’s social media presence. 

Andretti Formula E will be the first of the Andretti Global teams to take on the new branding as the reigning Drivers’ World Championship team kicks off Season 10 with testing in October.

“The experience the teams had at The Thermal Club was second to none,” INDYCAR President Jay Frye said. “We treated it like a preseason scrimmage, and, looking back, it was the perfect launch to this record-breaking season.

“The facility is spectacular, and we cannot wait to return and showcase INDYCAR in a whole new way.”

The private, world-class facility, located just outside of Palm Springs, California, is an expansive 490-acre property known as the ultimate destination for driving-minded motorsports enthusiasts. Located at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, The Thermal Club has everything from luxury homes to a motorsports village and gourmet restaurants. The facility was named “Professional Motorsport Facility of the Year” at the 2017 Professional Motorsports World Expo in Germany.

“After having a smooth 2023 NTT INDYCAR SERIES test, we are proud to welcome INDYCAR back to The Thermal Club during the 2024 season,” said John Rogers, owner, The Thermal Club. “The teams, drivers and the entire INDYCAR SERIES paddock are true professionals, and we look forward to developing our relationship with them in the future.

n a bold move cloaked in mystery, McLaren Racing has unleashed a stealthy new look for the 2023 Singapore and Japanese Grands Prix. Shrouded in an all-black livery with hints of papaya, the striking MCL60 cars will slip through the night like shadows, their sleek new coats allowing them to strike swiftly and disappear into the darkness.

This irresistible makeover, conjured by the creative minds at OKX and McLaren, signifies the partners' shared commitment to innovation and excellence. Under the moonlight, the black beauties will glide down the circuit, weaving in and out of the pack, before pouncing on their prey.

Unveiled in a glitzy launch event under Singapore's twinkling skyline, the cars attracted admiring glances from drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, clad in matching stealth uniforms. "She's a real looker this one, I can't wait to take her out on the town this weekend," remarked Norris, running a gloved hand along the glossy new contours of his ride.

As the Singapore night envelops the track, the shadowy MCL60s will be out for the kill, their predatory instincts heightened by their sleek new stealth designs. McLaren and OKX have pulled off the ultimate bait-and-switch, and under the cloak of darkness, their rivals won't know what hit them.

To celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, Minute Maid Aguas Frescas and NASCAR driver Daniel Suárez have revealed a new, colorful and vibrant paint scheme for his No. 99 car, set to appear and race next month at the Bank of America Roval 400, taking place October 8 in Charlotte, NC.  

Formally unveiled by Suárez yesterday at Coca-Cola’s Atlanta headquarters as part of the Company’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, the new design features vibrant Minute Maid Aguas Frescas imagery reflective of its three distinctive flavors – Hibiscus, Mango and Strawberry – along with a fun twist on the brand’s playful, double-entendre tagline: “Refreshing AF.” 

This is the second consecutive year Minute Maid Aguas Frescas has partnered with Suárez and his racing team, Trackhouse, to design a unique paint scheme to run during Hispanic Heritage Month. Suárez, a Mexican-born Coca-Cola Racing Family driver, became the first Mexican driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race with his win at Sonoma in 2022. This paint scheme unveiling also comes on the heels of the 25-year milestone of The Coca-Cola Company’s involvement with NASCAR.  

Coca-Cola’s partnership with Daniel Suárez provides an opportunity to recognize the historic accomplishments of a Hispanic driver in a predominately American sport. As the only Mexican driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, Suárez proudly displays his Mexican roots on his car each week and has helped attract a new demographic of fans to the sport. His fan club created in partnership with Coca-Cola and NASCAR, Daniel’s Amigos, has engaged Hispanic fans with the sport in an unprecedented way since its creation in 2019. 

Estenson Racing is excited to announce that Dallas Daniels will race the MotoAmerica Twins Cup next weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park. After a job well done as a title contender in the premier class of Progressive American Flat Track, Daniels makes his return to road racing for the first time since 2019 and will race the Estenson Racing-prepped Giaccmoto R7 at the season finale in Millville, New Jersey.

Daniels made his debut in the MotoAmerica Junior Cup category in a wild-card appearance in 2017, and then the following year, he raced a full season. In 2019, he was a title contender in the Junior Cup and won his first MotoAmerica race at Miller Motorsports Park. After his 16th birthday that same year, he made his pro debut in the Progressive American Flat Track series with the Estenson Racing team. Putting his full focus on dirt track and the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles class presented by KICKER, the Illinois rider scored his first AFT win that season in front of the home crowd at the Peoria TT. Daniels went on to celebrate more victories and back-to-back AFT Singles Championships in 2020 and 2021.

In addition to battling for the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles title in 2021, Daniels got some seat time aboard the MT-07, racing select rounds of the Mission Production Twins class. The Illinois rider once again found immediate success, winning his debut race at the Atlanta TT and earning three victories that season in four tries. Daniels also enjoyed a successful debut last year in the premier class with a pair of wins and finishing third in point standings. This year, he came out swinging, winning both rounds at the Progressive American Flat Track season opener on the Daytona Short Track. Daniels went on to score a total of five wins and led the Mission SuperTwins presented by S&S Cycle point standings for most of the season, ultimately finishing in the runner-up spot.

Tommy Hayden – Estenson Racing Team Manager
“We’re excited to go Twins Cup racing with Dallas at New Jersey Motorsports Park for the MotoAmerica season finale. This was something that Dallas wanted to do, and we felt it was a nice bonus for him and our sponsors. He had a great SuperTwins season and was battling for the championship the whole way, which is very impressive for his second year in the class. There’s not a whole lot of 20-year-olds going toe-to-toe with a guy like Jared Mees. Dallas is definitely one of the top up-and-coming riders in the sport, and we’re happy to give him this opportunity to go back and do some road racing now that the AFT season is done. We’d like to thank Yamaha and Chuck Giacchetto for helping us out with a bike. We’ve heard a lot of positive things about the progression of the MotoAmerica series, and we’re looking forward to going there and participating in an event and seeing what Dallas can do.”

Dallas Daniels – Estenson Racing
“I’m really excited and pumped for the opportunity to get back on a road race bike. We had an amazing year in American Flat Track and with the series ending a little bit earlier than usual, the opportunity was available to do the final round of MotoAmerica. I’ve got to give a huge thanks to Yamaha, Estenson Racing, and Chuck Giacchetto for giving me this opportunity to come back and do some road racing. The support from everyone, including MotoAmerica, has been unreal. I definitely feel welcomed back in this paddock already, and I’m super excited for the weekend.”
