Pato O'Ward wins at Mid-Ohio

The IndyCar Series races on the Mid-Ohio sports car course in Lexington, Ohio on Sunday, July 7, 2024. The race features 13 turns over 2.258 miles. Here is the qualifying lineup for the 80-lap race.

The IndyCar Series ushered in a new era at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with the race weekend initiation of its hybrid engine. The current 2.2-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 internal combustion engine is paired with an electrical low voltage (48V) Motor Generator Unit (MGU) and a supercapacitor Energy Storage System (ESS).

And at the same event, IndyCar crossed an important developmental finish line of its own. Exactly 1,802 days after the series announced in 2019 that it would shift to hybrid powertrains, it finally raced them.
