The former Red Bull reserve driver could potentially return to the grid in the IndyCar Series before the end of the 2024 season.
Juri Vips provided the latest update regarding an opportunity to return to the grid of the IndyCar Series in a fourth entry for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing . A 23-year-old Estonian, Vips contested two races at the end of 2023 in RLL’s No. 30 Honda, which began the year with Jack Harvey before a switch was made for Conor Daly to have a one-off outing at Gateway. Vips qualified and finished 18th in his debut outing at Portland International Raceway.
“There’s definitely intention from the team to do it, and we have the spare engine from the fourth car as well that Sato raced in the 500. So, it’s just putting all the pieces together to make it work, but we’re trying to make it happen.” Vips shared that most of his time with RLL has been spent helping in the simulator. “A lot of what we did over the winter was to help develop the car for the 500,” Vips said.
