Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has an open seat for next year’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, and it will see if European driver Juri Vips is ready to take it. Vips has been highly regarded for years, on the path to Formula One the way NTT INDYCAR SERIES drivers Callum Ilott, Marcus Armstrong and Christian Lundgaard, among others, once were. Vips won three races in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, as Lundgaard did, and was a Red Bull Junior driver. Vips, as Lundgaard, Armstrong and Ilott experienced, must learn this series on the fly. Vips said he has been in regular contact with Armstrong this season, and he has been to a couple of NTT INDYCAR SERIES races. “I’ve had some chats with him about the car and about everything,” Vips said. Vips said he has been too busy studying the materials provided to him by RLL to be concerned with nerves. He said he has benefitted from integration with Lundgaard and the team’s most experienced driver, Graham Rahal.
