Review IndyCar Series 2028

The 2028 IndyCar Series season, at the beginning of a new era

Review IndyCar Series 2028 is a reference publication dedicated to the 2028 IndyCar Series season and to the championship’s race results since 1996.

The book follows the collection’s established approach: documenting the 2028 season in detail, session by session, while preserving in the same volume the results of every race contested since 1996. Sessions, results, drivers, teams, circuits and statistics provide a precise record of each round of the season.

Alongside the detailed coverage of the 2028 season, the book includes historical results covering 1996 to 2027, presented in tables. This makes it possible to quickly find a past race or season, while also placing the events of 2028 within the broader history of IndyCar, the Indy Racing League and American open-wheel racing.

The period covered begins in 1996, when the Indy Racing League was established in the context of its split from the CART championship. For more than a decade, the two sides of American open-wheel racing developed separately before the reunification of the IRL and Champ Car for the 2008 season. That reunification marked a major turning point in the modern history of the discipline.

Since then, the championship has gone through successive generations of cars, engines, drivers and teams. The historical tables make it possible to follow that evolution through the results of every race and compare different eras without losing sight of their place within the championship’s history.

The 2028 season has particular significance, marking the arrival of a new generation of cars with the Dallara IR-28, introduced for competition from that season. This new car represents a major technical evolution for INDYCAR, with a redesigned chassis and aerodynamic package developed with performance, racing quality and safety in mind.

The new generation also brings significant technical changes. The IR-28 is powered by a 2.4-litre twin-turbocharged V6 capable of producing up to 760 horsepower, combined with an evolved hybrid system. The car is also lighter than its predecessor, while the new hybrid technology offers increased energy storage and greater flexibility in energy deployment.

Review IndyCar Series 2028 therefore becomes a documentary record of a generational change. The book preserves the data from the season as IndyCar enters this new era, while maintaining its connection with the decades that came before it.

The Indianapolis 500 naturally occupies a central place in this history. Since 1996, its successive editions have formed one of the defining threads of the period covered by the archive, providing another way to follow the evolution of drivers, teams and technology within one of the world’s most significant motor races.

The Review IndyCar Series 2028 is designed first and foremost as a reference book. It is not intended to replace race reports or journalistic coverage. Its purpose is different: to collect, structure and preserve the sporting data that allows the history of the championship to be retrieved.

Readers can browse the complete 2028 season, search for a specific result, compare different periods or explore IndyCar history through the tables covering previous seasons.

This new edition also continues the collection’s annual structure. Review IndyCar Series 2027 established the series with the 2027 season and historical results through 2026. This 2028 edition adds another complete season to the archive and extends the historical record through 2027.

The same principle will continue with every new edition: one season documented in detail, combined with a historical archive that grows year after year.

For followers of the IndyCar Series, as well as enthusiasts of IRL, CART and Champ Car history, this approach provides a continuous documentary record rarely found in publications dedicated to a single season.

A new generation of cars. One season in detail. More than three decades of results. An archive that grows every year.
