Series news
  • On May 24, 2019, it was announced that IndyCar Series will schedule to introduce cockpit protection combining an Aeroscreen and the Halo used in Formula 1 from 2020 season onwards. The cockpit protection will be built by Red Bull Advanced Technologies in a collaborative effort with Dallara. The combination of aeroscreen and halo is designed to improve safety standards by deflecting debris away from a driver's head and was originally developed for use in Formula One and IndyCar before its application was expanded to other open-wheel championships.[1]
  • On November 3, 2019, it was announced the Team Penske owner Roger Penske had purchased the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar as a racing league. Penske also announced he will step down as full-time race strategist.[2] On January 6, 2020, IndyCar announced the transactions were formally complete. Penske officially becomes just the fourth owner in Indianapolis Motor Speedway's history and marks the first time since 1945 where ownership of the Speedway has changed hands.[3]

Schedule

The 17-race 2020 schedule was initially announced on September 1, 2019; there was one change from the 2019 IndyCar Series calendar with Pocono Raceway being replaced by Richmond Raceway, the latter track returning to the series for the first time since 2009.[64] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ten races have been cancelled (including the Detroit doubleheader), five rescheduled, and five replacement races added. Due to the fluid nature of the outbreak this information is subject to change.

During the delay to start the season, many of the IndyCar series drivers participated in the IndyCar iRacing Challenge.

Schedule changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, and subsequent restrictions on public gatherings and non-essential business (which have affected all sports worldwide), have led to the postponement of the IndyCar Series season to at least June, and the cancellation of several races.

On March 12, 2020, IndyCar announced that the opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg would be held with no spectators and essential personnel only.[77] However, the next day (March 13), IndyCar announced that the event, as well as all races through April, would be cancelled, citing widening closures and health risks of gatherings. The series announced an intent to begin with the two "Month of May" races in Indianapolis which would have been the first time since the 1957 season that IMS would begin the season.[78]

On March 26, IndyCar announced that it would postpone the GMR Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 to July 4 and August 23 respectively (with the former joining NASCAR's Brickyard 400 race weekend), marking the first time either event would be held outside of May. The Detroit Grand Prix was to serve as season opener, while plans were announced for the St. Petersburg race to possibly be reinstated.[79][80][81]

On April 6, IndyCar announced the cancellation of the Detroit Grand Prix, with organizers citing Michigan's stay-at-home order and other scheduled events at Belle Isle making it impossible to prepare for or reschedule the event.[82][83] To compensate for other cancelled races, IndyCar also announced the conversion of the Iowa 300 and Monterey Grand Prix races to double-header weekends, and added a third Indianapolis Motor Speedway race on October 3 as part of the USAC-sanctioned Intercontinental GT Challenge endurance race meeting on the road course.[84]

On May 7, it was announced that the season would commence with a condensed, one-day event format at Texas Motor Speedway, with no spectators in attendance.[85] The race, initially scheduled for 248 laps or around 600 kilometres (370 miles), was shortened to 200 laps or around 300 miles (480 kilometres). As well as this, extensive social distancing protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic were announced for team personnel, as well as provisions for the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).[67] On May 27, it was announced that tire stints during the Genesys 300 would be limited to a maximum of 35 laps, as unused tires from the 2019 DXC Technology 600 were utilized for the race weekend.[86] This had occurred previously, during the final third of the 2017 Rainguard Water Sealers 600, where a 30-lap maximum was implemented with competition cautions.[87]

On May 13, IndyCar announced that the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg will be held as the season finale on October 25. This makes the race the only street course race in 2020 for IndyCar[88]

On May 15, the promoters of the Honda Indy Toronto announced that the race scheduled for July 12 would be postponed.[89]

On May 21, IndyCar announced further changes to the schedule. The round at Road America was moved to July and became a doubleheader weekend, the previously postponed Toronto race was cancelled, and the Richmond round was cancelled.[90]

On June 4, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced that all events during the Big Machine Vodka 400 NASCAR weekend, including the GMR Grand Prix, would be held behind closed doors.[91]

On July 15, IndyCar announced a new qualifying format for the Iowa IndyCar 250s where the first lap would set the drivers starting spot for race 1 and the second lap would set the drivers starting spot for race 2.[92]

On July 22, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced that the fan capacity would be reduced further from 50% overall to 25% overall. They also announced a strict policy for fans regarding wearing masks.[93]

On July 27, the round at Portland and double-header rounds at Laguna Seca were canceled. To fill the gaps in the schedule, the rounds at Mid-Ohio, Gateway, and the Harvest GP at the Indianapolis road course were converted into double-header rounds. The double-header road course qualifying format was announced to be utilized once more at Mid-Ohio and Indianapolis, while the double-header oval qualifying format used at Iowa will also be used at Gateway.[94]

On August 1, IndyCar officials, Mid-Ohio track officials, and the promoter of the race at Mid-Ohio announced that the doubleheader at Mid-Ohio would be postponed to later in the season due to an uptick in COVID-19 cases in Ohio.[95]

On August 4, IndyCar series officials and Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials announced due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, that the 2020 Indianapolis 500 would be run without fans.[96]
