Callum Ilott will again replace David Malukas at Arrow McLaren for IndyCar's non-championship $1 Million Challenge at The Thermal Club.
Malukas has been unable to drive competitively since sustaining a wrist injury in a mountain biking accident on 12 February. He was replaced by Ilott at the subsequent tests and in the season-opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, where the 25-year-old Brit finished 13th. As Malukas carries on with his recovery, Ilott will again drive one of Arrow McLaren's Chevrolet-powered entries in the upcoming Barber test, as well as in the non-championship $1 Million Challenge.
This development made him an ideal stand-in for IndyCar outfits in 2024 while he focuses on his main racing programme in the WEC, hence this opportunity with Arrow McLaren. “To be honest, it's a bit of a discovery process because obviously I did the hybrid test, but I've only been in the shop for one or two days now,” the former JHR driver said last week, ahead of the first round of the campaign.
