Louis Foster will aim to win the 2024 Indy NXT by Firestone championship with the backing of long-term sponsor Copart UK, which supports the Andretti Global driver again this season.
Foster, 20, first partnered up with Copart UK back in 2019 when he went on to finish third in the British F4 championship.
A third in British F3 and second in Euroformula Open came next for Foster, before winning the Indy Pro 2000 championship in 2022 at his first attempt racing in America, followed up last year by 2 race wins and 4 pole positions in the Indy NXT season.
Together, Copart and Foster have won 24 races together, as well as 20 pole positions and 132 races started.
“It’s an honour to have Copart back on board as I try to win the Indy NXT Championship in 2024,” said Foster, who has already tested ahead of the season starting next month at St Petersburg.
“Obviously Copart have been with us for a long time, and it’s always a real pleasure to have those long-lasting relationships which aren’t always easy to come by in racing.”
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, added:
“Louis is an incredibly talented and dedicated young man with an exciting future ahead of him.
Here at Copart, we’re so proud of everything he has achieved, and we’ll be supporting him every step of the way as he continues his stateside journey on the Road to Indy.
His tenacity and drive to succeed is perfectly aligned to our own company values and we’re looking forward to reaching new heights together in 2024 as we continue this winning partnership.”
All of us here at Copart wish Louis all the very best of luck in the 2024 Indy NXT championship which kicks off on 10th March 2024.
