OpenWheelWorld: The go-to destination for IndyCar insights, information and results


Josef Newgarden passing the fountain in Long BeachOpenWheelWorld.net was founded in 2005 as ChampCar.nl, becoming the first specialized news site dedicated to American motorsport in the Netherlands. With the 2008 ‘reunification’ of the Champ Car World Series and the Indy Racing League, the site continued under the name OpenWheelWorld.net.

Until early 2022, the website provided daily updates on the latest IndyCar news. However, due to a lack of volunteers, the news function had to be discontinued. Starting in 2022, OpenWheelWorld.net shifted its focus to providing analyses, background stories, results, and reports for each practice or race day, rather than daily news. Nevertheless, the results of all practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and races will continue to be updated, and the standings will remain up to date.

Of course, this is also the place for extensive information about the IndyCar Series, the schedule, the teams, the drivers, and race results since 1979, While we have a specific section with unique insights into the Indy 500! This ensures that OpenWheelWorld.net is the go-to destination for every IndyCar fan.
