Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing announced on Wednesday that Juri Vips will compete for the team in a fourth car at the BitNile.com Portland Grand Prix.
Vips who has worked with the team throughout the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season will pilot the No.75 AMADA Honda alongside Graham Rahal, Christian Lundgaard and Pietro Fittipaldi.
BOBBY RAHAL, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing:
“We’re pleased to be able to run Juri in Portland for a number of reasons. For one, he showed at both Portland and Laguna Seca last year that he certainly has the pace to feature in any event he runs with us. He has done a lot of work for us in the simulator this year, which has helped us understand the hybrid system, so it’s nice to reward him for his effort. I’m hopeful that this will lead to more races for him with RLL.”
JURI VIPS, driver of the No. 75 AMADA Honda at Portland:
“I’m very grateful to the team for giving me this opportunity. I have been working closely with the team on the simulator program and it has been a year since I have been in the car, but I’m confident that the experience gained last year at Portland and Laguna Seca will help me to get up to speed quickly. It will still be a very big challenge and one I am very much looking forward to.”
Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing are evaluating drivers who could potentially replace Christian Lundgaard who has joined Arrow McLaren from 2025.
